MG Comet Reviews

MG has revealed pricing for its new long-range version of the ZS EV small SUV.Wearing a price-tag of $55,990 before on-road costs for the single Essence variant, the ZS EV Long Range will become available to Australian buyers in April. It still undercuts its key Tesla Model 3 rival (from $64,300), but is significantly more expensive than the BYD Atto 3 Extended Range (from $51,011).The new variant has a 72kWh battery pack good for a WLTP-certified combined driving range of 440km.This is a significant improvement on the existing ZS EV standard range variant, which has a 50.3kWh battery pack good for a 320km range.The Long Range ZS EV gives MG an improved range offering to better position it against its key electric rival, the BYD Atto 3.Expect the main specification to stay the same as the standard range Essence, with very little, even visually, to distinguish between the two grades.The ZS Long Range continues to be available with the same 130kW/280Nm electric motor as the standard version, with the same 80kW charging capability via its Type 2 CCS charging port.This allows charge times between 40 - 63 minutes depending on the speed of the connected DC charger at a fast charging location. It also maintains the 11kW charging speed of the standard version, suggesting a charging time from 10 per cent in around five hours.The new ZS EV Long Range variant will be joined by the fully electric MG4 hatch in the second half of 2023, which debuts a new platform and new technology for the brand.Thanks to sufficient supply and keen pricing across much of its range, MG has had a stratospheric rise in Australia over the last 18 months, now ranked seventh, behind Mitsubishi, but ahead of Subaru in the local sales charts.

If you were looking to get into a 2023 MG, you might be an extra thousand or-so out of pocket after changes to the brand's (almost) entire line-up have bumped prices by up to $2000.

The Toyota HiLux's record as Australia's best-selling vehicle is now officially under threat, with the Ford Ranger the country's most popular vehicle in February, making it consecutive months that the all-new model has finished on top.

Congratulations. You’ve secured $30,000 and need a new car.

The MG Cyberster has been spotted again, this time completely undisguised, pointing to a nearing debut for the brand’s electric sports car.

A long range version of the 2023 MG ZS EV electric car is coming to Australia soon, with reports flagging March as the expected arrival timing for the small SUV.

At the start of 2022 you could have argued things looked tough for Mitsubishi. The brand was facing a serious threat from MG, which was stealing sales from the popular Mitsubishi ASX and Eclipse Cross, plus there was no new Triton model to help combat the incoming Ford Ranger or any special version to fight the Nissan Navara Warrior.

We may have only just seen the end of february but it's a safe bet Toyota will lead the sales charts again in 2023, thanks to its range of popular models from the Corolla to the LandCruiser and everything in between.

The new Ford Ranger climbed to the top of Australia's sales charts in January, with the Blue Oval's ute topping the Toyota HiLux to be crowned the country's best-selling vehicle.

Potentially Australia's most affordable EV spotted in the wild.
