MG ZST

The ZS range has served as an important part in MG’s vehicle lineup when the brand first entered the Philippine automotive market in 2018. The ZS set the tone for MG’s offering of stylish, safe, and attainable vehicles.

Making the ZS nameplate even more exciting and appealing to car buyers looking for a thrilling daily driver, MG Philippines recently launched the MG ZST. A vamped up ZS, the “T” could very well mean ‘turbocharged,’ which gives a hint of the ZST’s business under its hood.

The new MG ZST is powered by a 1.3-liter inline-three turbocharged engine mated to a new 6-speed transmission and is rated to output 160 hp and 230 Nm of torque. The ZST basically filled the missing powerful performance in the standard ZS. For a quick comparison, the standard ZS is rated at 114hp and 150 Nm torque and is driven by a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Aside from the performance upgrade, the new MG ZST also sports other upgrades such as a new Obsidian Matrix grill, full-LED projector headlights, a new set of 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels, red brake calipers, and widened front air dam.
