MG Motor Australia has added a new Excite Plus variant to its ZS small SUV range, which is now on sale from $22,990 drive away.
Sitting in the middle of the newly-expanded ZS range, the Excite Plus adds the 82kW/160Nm 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine and six-speed automatic transmission from the upper-spec Essence to the entry level Excite for $2,000 more than the base model.
This is on top of the Excite’s lengthy equipment list, which includes automatic headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, an 8.0-inch multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, cruise control and a leather steering wheel.
The top spec Essence is still $26,990 drive away, and has added inbuilt satellite navigation to its standard equipment list.
The ZS Essence also adds a panoramic sunroof and keyless entry to the Excite Plus’ standard equipment list.
Despite the new model addition to the ZS range, equipment such as auto emergency braking (AEB), blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning and rear cross-traffic alert - features available on competitors such as the Mazda CX-3 and Toyota C-HR - remain unavailable.
