MG ZST Essence review | Wheels Australia

[@toyshanger8945]

What is left out in most videos about this car is the ZST core and vibe uses 91 unleaded with the 1.5l cvt and the ZST excite and essence which is mostly featured runs on 95 unleaded with the 1.3 turbo engine. Advantage of turbo and disadvantage are to be considered, don’t just buy it because people says it’s more powerful. Don’t buy one and regret you can’t pump 91 unleaded which is cheaper to run. The sun roof also has advantages and disadvantages. It can be hot, you may need to tint, and be prepared if the sun roof malfunction. People don’t consider this and think is cool.

I have purchased the ZST Core, for my daughter. The car surprised me. I was looking at a Kia Stonic. This one is Better with Moire. The price was a surprise.

[@ojgalvez4338]

how's the Zst core now mate?

[@СлаваССС-м4с]

Nice. Any problems so far?

[@Sodainspace]

Great car, Japanese, South Koreans and German cars have been taking Australians for a ride with rip off prices, finally a manufacturer that is giving Australians value. I think MG has great future and their safety rating is now comparable to other big brands

[@robrob4753]

Give it a couple years and they'll jack up the prices too.

[@malcolmscott4150]

Great review on a hugely growing brand and a great alternative to South Korean and German cav’s - no wonder these are selling well

[@Axle-F]

Great video, well edited and all the essential info with nice B footage.

[@WheelsAustralia]

Thanks Axle! Very kind.

[@markuc]

Great car and great value. At least it'll make the Japanese and Germans reconsider their money grab from naive Aussies

[@User-cb4jm]

What you’re looking at is surface level, not enduring quality like a Japanese or even Korean cars these days. No one is cross shopping this with anything German lol, don’t worry about that. They have to price competitively if they want to take sales from Kia or Hyundai or Toyota. I’d love it if we know that it will be reliable in the long run but I’ll allow others to be the guinea pigs here.

[@Kiennguyen-gn4rz]

@@User-cb4jm i mean it has 7 years warranty so ...

[@EVIL.211]

Mine has just arrived yesterday and I’m very satisfied with it

[@helengunther1543]

Mine today

[@ziadanwar5296]

thos gotta be the greatest intro i've ever seen! hilarious!!!

[@davidbonnici1118]

Ha, thanks Ziad.

[@davidnecic3391]

What's its safety Rating. How Long will the Motor, Gearbox, How Long will the MG Last Before it Falls Apart. Thank you.

[@baileydavis6424]

Just like any other car. Jeep and Mini coopers fall apart faster than these. MGs are cheap and reliable

[@t8polestarcyan22]

If you're worried about safety, then it's best to go for ZS EV. That one have a 5 star Euro NCAP rating. As for reliability, EVs have significantly fewer moving parts compared to ICEs. My experience with the ZS EV so far is that it's not like a... "The $2 Shop" experience. Electric motor, transmission and heck even A/C haven't fallen apart. The car even mended herself when there was an ABS sensor issue, no need to send for sensor replacement.

[@abhinavg3514]

Does this 1.3 engine have direct injection or multipoint port injection

[@LearnersNation]

good review sir

[@johnschannel449]

The Question is for around $25,000 are you better off getting a similar used car like a mazda cx5 thats a few years old with no or little warranty but has proven reliability or the new MG ZS with a 7 year warranty but unproven reliability

[@AdamAus85]

I can't believe anyone could buy the asx as a new car today. I mean, that is insane.

[@harrisonkwa3371]

yeh the interior looks too cheap

[@Sunnychahal-bx4mj]

I went to buy mg5 but reverse camera quality sucks i ended buy other car

[@jovanilijevski6873]

Which one to go for haval h6 hybrid or mg.

[@harrisonkwa3371]

do you mean the HS PHEV

[@t8polestarcyan22]

I've sat on the HS PHEV's or HS +EV's and it's comfortable.

[@robertceroli3512]

For that money better of with a vitara T proper 4cyl turbo with a 6sp tc auto suzi has a solid reputation of reliable cars that can can rival Toyota on reliability

[@Sheikenstien]

I have the series 1 vitara t. Im honestly thinking about selling that and buying this car. You get more for your money.

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Just don't cry if you see that Chinese MG on your tail while you're on a winding road!

[@diablomadvanced]

Looks like old cx5?

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Not the new facelift ZS EV.

[@muralikrishna9748]

Sorry not impressive. The engine capacity is too small for a small SUV

[@mharro88]

No it's not lol. Clueless

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Then get a ZS EV!

[@electricdiesel1993]

MG ZST 2WD runs on regular gas affected by irreparable gas price inflation and stuck at traffic jams that made buses very late in the rush hour, then take the electric car cheap and safe but filthy expensive, batteries run out of range and can’t tow a caravan otherwise take the electric cable commuter train done dirt cheap zero emission transport.

[@alexgonzales3806]

I will never ever buy a made from China 👎🏻

[@james6969]

Esspiecly if owned by ccp but buy stuff not owned by the ccp

[@markuc]

Really? really ignorant comment from someone with a last name of GONZALES.

[@warrenseiboth3466]

Ha ha have you checked everything in your house even your glad wrap its from china , iphone is chinese too

[@spirituchocarrero]

@@markuc what?

[@oscartbag]

It is hard to be alive without a made from China, check the badge from your coat plz

[@yslee1401]

Do we really trust Chinese made cars? Afterall, Huawei is banned for a good reason. The infotainment system is just another tunnel for the Chinese to spy on Australia

[@mharro88]

Huawei were banned for a good reason ? What was that? There was no evidence

[@electricdiesel1993]

Rather insert forty cents to ride 🚍public transport than hop in MG ZST endorsed by his Majesty Charles III and Harry & Meghan.

[@Rob-mg4nh]

Chinese Crap, don't bother
