MG Extender Reviews

MG is now a major mainstream automaker in Australia and is taking the challenge to its more established rivals through very competitive warranty and servicing terms.MG offers seven years of capped-price servicing on its range, which now includes the MG3 light hatch, ZS and ZST small SUVs, and HS mid-size SUV to go with its existing seven-year and unlimited kilometre warranty.It also offers roadside assistance for the entire warranty period, provided the vehicle is serviced on time and with an MG dealer.However, for the electric ZS EV, which requires servicing half as often (once every 24 months or 40,000km), the schedule extends out to 280,000km or 14 years. The EV also scores a separate seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty for its high-voltage battery pack.Prices for the capped-price servicing program are mostly competitive, with particularly reasonable pricing for the ZS and MG3 range, however there are some surprises in the form of unusually high servicing costs for the ZS EV and a particularly expensive visit for all grades of the HS mid-sizer at the five-year/60,000km mark.In summary: MG has structured its ownership promise to compete with major rivals, offering a long warranty, included roadside assist, and competitive capped-price servicing. Make sure to check the full schedule at MG’s website to avoid surprises, however, as prices can vary significantly between models and individual intervals. 8/10If you want to find out more about a specific manufacturer's capped price servicing, please see below:

The MG3 is one of MG's strongest models, but now that it's 12 years old, is a replacement finally on the way?

MG has detailed specs for its incoming MG4 hatch, which debuts new tech, styling, and features for MG in Australia.

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.
