mg zst review 2023

The 2023 MG ZST is the budget small SUV that turns up overdressed and undercuts everyone at the door.

Underneath it’s essentially a warmed-over ZS, with either a 1.5‑litre non‑turbo and CVT for cruising, or a perkier 1.3‑litre turbo and 6‑speed auto for actual overtakes.

Cabin tech is generous—big touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, active safety (MG Pilot) on most grades—and the 7‑year warranty soothes the wallet.

The ride is comfy around town, the steering is more “parking lot hero” than “B‑road bandit,” and cabin plastics remind you why the price is sharp.

It’s cracking value if you prioritise features and warranty over handling finesse and cabin polish; test the driver assists for calibration and you’ll know if it suits your daily grind.
