MG准备在GS之后推出一款新的小型SUV,车身尺寸与日产Juke差不多,而最近谍照记者拍到了正在进行道路测试的测试车。据MG高层人士透露,该车将被命名为MG ZS。很明显这辆正在开发的车型是一辆行驶距离很高的车型,这表明该车将是一辆MG SUV,该车与GS基于同一平台。虽然这辆测试车在设计上没有什么太多的细节可以透露,但可以确定,它的行驶高度高于MG3掀背车。从测试车的号牌看,该车搭载一台1.0升汽油引擎,而目前在MG系列中并没有类似的小排量引擎。如果MG开发小排量三缸涡轮引擎,它将配备在包括ZS在内的其他车型上。
MG ZS: new Nissan Juke rival spotted
MG is set to follow up the introduction of the MG GS with a new, smaller SUV similar in size to the Nissan Juke - and our spy photographers have spotted it out testing on the road as a development mule.According to a high-ranking MG insider, the new car will be badged MG ZS.
It's clear that this development car is riding high on its wheels, hinting that it is indeed the new MG SUV that's based on the same platform as the GS, which rivals Nissan's Qashqai. There's not much we can tell about the car's design from this working mule, but it does at least indicate that the car will get a higher ride height than the MG3 hatchback.
Running a number plate check on the test mule shows that it's running a 1.0-litre petrol engine, which is interesting as there's no engine that small in the MG line-up currently. If MG is developing a small three-cylinder turbo unit, it could appear in other models in the range as well as the ZS.
