In this new Drive Experience episode from Motor283, we dive into a detailed comparison between the MG ZS 2025 and the outgoing 2024 model. From a striking new design to major upgrades in technology, comfort, and performance, the MG ZS 2025 aims to stand out as one of the most complete and affordable compact crossovers in the region. But is it worth the upgrade? Here’s what we found.
At first glance, the MG ZS 2025 is a clear evolution from its predecessor. The exterior features a new front fascia with sleeker LED lighting, a sharper grille design, and more aggressive body lines that push MG into a more distinctive design language. The wheelbase is slightly longer, which translates to more cabin space, and the alloy wheel design adds a refined, sporty touch.
Step inside, and the differences are even more noticeable. The 2025 model introduces dual 12.3-inch screens with updated graphics, smoother interface, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin feels more upscale, with soft-touch materials replacing the harder plastics of the previous model. MG also redesigned the center console and added clever storage spaces, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof to elevate the interior experience.
The MG ZS 2025 comes with multiple engine options, starting with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine offering 112 hp, up to a turbocharged 1.3-liter delivering 168 hp and 328 Nm of torque. Fuel economy remains impressive, especially with the CVT gearbox that’s tuned for smooth, economical driving.
But what really sets the 2025 model apart is comfort. MG has significantly improved ride quality by upgrading the suspension and enhancing sound insulation, resulting in a quieter, more stable drive at higher speeds. Driver-assist features have also been expanded, with lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, and 360-degree cameras now available even on the lower trims.
Curious to see the full transformation for yourself? From exterior styling to real-world driving impressions, our video takes you through every detail of the MG ZS 2025 vs 2024 comparison.
