MG ZST Interior
It might be based on an older design, but the ZST’s interior seems like an alluring place to be. At least, superficially, anyway.
For starters, there’s quite a lot of real estate on offer, resulting in a decent, segment-straddling amount of space front and rear, along with a big boot behind. No doubt a generous 2585mm wheelbase helps.
Rear seat access is fine, and there’s enough room for three people to travel in sufficient comfort in the back over short distances. The windows wind all the way down too. But while there are big handy door bins, two more USB outlets, overhead grab handles and two useable map pockets, MG provides no directional air vents, rear-seat lighting, centre armrest, cupholders or coat hooks.
MG ZST Dimensions
The dimensions of the MG ZST SUV vary according to year of manufacture and spec level.

MG ZST Speed
MG does not provide a 0-100km/h sprint time for the ZST Essence fitted with the 1.3-litre three-cylinder turbo engine, but the 1.5-litre version in the lower grades manages the 0-100km/h time in 10.9 seconds.
MG ZST Towing Capacity

Year | Body Type | Braked Capacity from | Braked Capacity to | |
---|---|---|---|---|
2022 | SUV | 0kg | 0kg | |

MG ZST Fuel Consumption
The MG ZST is available in a number of variants and body types that are powered by ULP fuel type(s). It has an estimated fuel consumption starting from 6.9L/100km for SUV /ULP for the latest year the model was manufactured.
Year | Body Type | Fuel Consumption* | Engine | Fuel Type | Transmission | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2022 | SUV | 6.9L/100km | 1.5L | ULP | CVT AUTO | |
2021 | SUV | 6.9L/100km | 1.5L | ULP | CVT AUTO | |
2020 | SUV | 7.3L/100km | 1.3L | ULP | 6 SP AUTO |
MG ZST Seats
The sculptured front seats look especially inviting, they provide a wide range of adjustability to help find the ideal driving position for a wide range of bodies, the cushions do a good job supporting you over long distances.
Rear seat access is fine, and while the too-low cushion isn’t that supportive, it is long; the 70/30 split backrest is surprisingly reclined (maybe too much so for some travellers), and there’s enough room for three people to travel in sufficient comfort in the back over short distances. But do watch for those protruding seatbelt latches, which hurt if you land on them. Ouch.
MG ZST Wheel Size
The MG ZST has a number of different wheel and tyre options. When it comes to tyres, these range from 215x55 R17 for SUV in 2021.
Year | Body Type | Front Tyre Size | Front Rim | Rear Tyre Size | Rear Rim | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2021 | SUV | 215x55 R17 | — | 215x55 R17 | — | |
2020 | SUV | 215x55 R17 | — | 215x55 R17 | — |
MG ZST Boot Space
The 359-litre boot is larger than you might imagine in a small SUV, with two floor levels, side storage and a light, but no floor latching hooks. The loading lip is quite high. Folding the split rear seatbacks bumps cargo capacity up to 1187L.
