MG ZST 2022 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.

There’s enough room for three people to travel in sufficient comfort in the back over short distances.

With electric adjustment for the driver, they provide a wide range of adjustability to help find the ideal driving position for a wide range of bodies.

It has a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support.

The sunroof blockout screen is ineffective under the Australian sun.

MG ZST 2022 FAQs

I keep spilling fuel when refuelling my 2022 MG ZST

This problem is more common than you might imagine and applies to a lot of different makes and models. It’s a simple cases of physics, in the end: The petrol is being pumped into the filler neck at a decent rate, sometimes enough for some splash-back to occur as the fuel hits the side of the filler neck and bounces around.

The problem will be much worse if the filler neck can’t 'breathe' (air has to leave the tank for fuel to get in - physics again) so make sure there are no blocked breather lines or holes inside the top of the filler neck.

Beyond that, the best advice is to try turning the fuel nozzle, say, 45 degrees each way from vertical to see if that lands the fuel in a more agreeable place in the filler neck. Either that or you’re stuck with trickling the fuel into the car at a slower rate (the rate of flow of the nozzle is adjustable according to how far you pull it).

Can my 2022 MG ZST run on e10, and is 20 percent window tint legal?

According to the manufacturer, your MG can not be run on E10 petrol. But the MG ZST can live with E5 fuel (petrol with up to five per cent ethanol content) if you can find it. Unfortunately, most ethanol blended fuels in Australia are up to 10 per cent (E10) so you should give them a miss.

Window tinting rules vary from state to state, but in Queensland (where UV light levels are higher than, say Tasmania) you can get away with slightly darker tint and still be legal. But, a window tint that is 20 per cent VLT (Visible Light Transference, or; the percentage of light the tint allows through) is only legal on privately-registered cars in QLD on the rear and rear-side windows. The front side windows cannot be tinted to less than 35 per cent VLT and the windscreen can not be tinted at all (beyond a factory tint) apart from the top 10 per cent of the glass area. So, no, a 20 per cent VLT tint all round would not be legal.

MG ZST 2022 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.

Second row space is very good for the size of the car.

The MG badge is emblazoned on the front leather seats.
