KUALA LUMPUR, 14 October 2026 – Following its preview at the KL International Mobility Show 2026 (KLIMS 2026), SAIC Motor Malaysia is set to roll out its locally assembled MG ZS in Malaysia at the end of October.

The all-new MG ZS will be offered in two variants: the MG ZS 1.5 Turbo and MG ZS Hybrid+. The estimated price is RM105,000 for the Turbo variant and RM115,000 for the Hybrid+ variant (Peninsula Malaysia excluding insurance) coupled with exclusive early-bird booking benefits available ahead of its official launch. First 1,000 customers can enjoy exclusive benefits worth RM3,000, along with five years of complimentary maintenance.

“Following the strong reception received during its preview at KLIMS 2026, we are excited to introduce the all-new MG ZS in Malaysia. Developed with the needs and expectations of Malaysian consumers in mind, the MG ZS Hybrid+ features a dedicated hybrid powertrain and a 3-speed Hybrid Transmission that work in sync to keep performance within its most efficient range, reducing energy wastage while delivering a smooth and responsive drive. Together, these technologies offer an attractive package that combines performance, efficiency and outstanding value,” said Emory Qi, Managing Director of SAIC Motor Malaysia.

The MG ZS combines sleek, sporty styling with everyday practicality, making it an urban SUV designed for modern city living. Its exterior features a bold front fascia with Connected Hunter Eyes headlights, black grille accents, aerodynamic sculpting, rear LED taillights, a smooth rear spoiler and contemporary alloy wheels.

As the largest B-segment SUV in its class, measuring 4,430mm in length and 1,818mm in width, the MG ZS offers an open and ergonomic cabin layout with premium materials, enhanced interior space for improved headroom and legroom, and intelligent storage solutions. The vehicle also provides 443 litres of boot space, expandable to 1,457 litres with the rear seats folded down, offering one of the most spacious cabins in its segment. Inside, the cockpit is equipped with a panoramic sunroof, a 12.3-inch floating infotainment display and a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster that presents essential driving information at a glance.

The MG ZS 1.5 Turbo is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering a maximum power output of 170PS (125kW) and 275Nm of torque. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive, the powertrain offers responsive performance for everyday driving. It also delivers a combined fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km and features a 55-litre fuel tank.

Powering the MG ZS Hybrid+ is a 1.83kWh high-capacity NCM battery, paired with a 100kW electric motor and a high-efficiency 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, delivering a combined maximum power output of 215PS (158kW) and 465Nm of torque. Paired with an advanced three-speed Hybrid Transmission, the MG ZS Hybrid+ delivers a smooth and dynamic driving experience, combining EV-like responsiveness with the convenience of a refined hybrid powertrain without the need for plug-in charging. The intelligent hybrid system also enables EV mode driving at speeds of up to 80km/h in suitable driving conditions, delivering a quieter and smoother driving experience. Capable of accelerating from 0–100km/h in 8.7 seconds, it delivers very efficient fuel consumption of just 4.7L/100km and a driving range of up to 870km on a full 41-litre fuel tank.

All MG vehicles are equipped with MG PILOT Driver Safety Technology, designed to enhance driving confidence, comfort and safety through a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) 2.5 features, including the Intelligent Cruise Assist (ICA) and Driver Fatigue Monitoring System (DFMS). Paired with MG iSMART, MG ZS owners can remotely access and control key vehicle functions directly from their smartphones, including keyless entry functionality.

The MG ZS is available in four exterior colours – Flare Red, Silver, Andes Grey and York White – paired with a premium all-black interior featuring perforated leatherette seats, delivering enhanced comfort and support for every journey.
