The MG ZS is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese owned, British automotive marque MG Motor. The MG ZS is the second SUV to be produced by MG Motor, the first being the larger MG GS, which was launched in April 2015. The MG ZS notably revives the name previously used on the saloon of the MG ZS, which was based on the Rover 45, and was produced by MG Motor's predecessors, MG Rover, from July 2001 to April 2005. The ZS has two petrol engines options, an updated SMTC developed version of the naturally aspirated 1.5 L as found in the MG3, known in this guise as the NSE Plus (formerly just NSE) the updated engine is tuned differently in each market based on locally applicable emission regulations. In China, for example, the engine is tuned to deliver 120 PS and 150 Nm torque. In the United Kingdom, where the emission regulations are more strict, the engine delivers 106 PS and 141 Nm of torque. The second engine is a new turbocharged three cylinder engine, developed by SAIC in conjunction with General Motors. Again in China, it produces 125 PS and 175 Nm torque, but in the United Kingdom, it produces 111 PS and 160 Nm torque. ALL Credits to MORRIS GARAGES Via: Cars PH
