The MG ZS Hybrid+ Essence is the flagship model of the initial new-generation ZS line-up, priced from $36,990 drive-away to position it above the Excite. The ZS is already the best-selling small SUV in Australia and MG hopes that this new hybrid option will expand its appeal.
On top of the standard equipment in the Excite (LED headlights, two 12.3-inch digital screens for the instruments and infotainment, as well as navigation, a 360-degree camera and the MG Pilot active safety suite) the Essence adds 18-inch alloys, a panoramic sunroof, PVC seats, six-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The ZS Hybrid+ is powered by a 75kW/128Nm 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine with a 100kW/250Nm electric motor, which combine to produce 150kW/465Nm. Despite those healthy power and torque figures, MG claims the ZS Hybrid+ Essence uses just 4.7L/100km.
