MG ZS官图近日曝光。该车外观深受马自达CX-3影响，前脸设计模仿魂动设计语言，车尾造型取自MG GS，不过，由于其尾灯组类似捷豹F-Pace，因此外观整体看上去还不错。它的保险杠和车底护板让外观更增添了一份粗犷感。该车采用缩短后的GS平台，预计仍将搭载一台1.5升引擎，功率122千瓦/164马力，扭矩250牛米。与引擎搭配的是七速双离合变速器。另外，未来该车还将搭载1.0升三缸引擎，但目前不清楚该引擎细节。MG ZS将在广州车展亮相，随后将很快上市。MG还将推出一款更大的跨界车，其定位在ZS和GS之间以便能进入目前最受欢迎的这部分市场。

 

MG ZS leak reveals familiar design

Spotted undergoing final testing about two months ago in the Alps, the MG ZS no longer has the checkered camouflage as Chinese media has managed to obtain official images of the upcoming crossover. Our hunch as far as an exterior appearance influenced by the Mazda CX-3 has turned out to be valid as the front fascia does seem to resemble the Kodo design language implemented by Mazda on its subcompact crossover.

 

The rear end design takes inspiration from the larger MG GS, but it actually looks a tad better thanks to the modified taillights sending out a Jaguar F-Pace vibe, while the bumper with the skid plate lends it a more rugged appearance.

 

Riding on a shorter version of the platform that has underpinned the GS, the new ZS is expected to carry over the 1.5-liter engine with 164 horsepower (122 kilowatts) and 184 pound-feet (250 Newton-meters) of torque. As in the larger GS, output is going to be delivered to the road through a six-speed manual gearbox or via MG’s very first dual-clutch, seven-speed automatic transmission. In addition, a smaller three-cylinder 1.0-liter engine is also on the agenda, but details about how much power it will generate are not available at this point.

 

The MG ZS is slated to receive its world premiere on Friday at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China, with sales to commence locally shortly thereafter. Further down the line, MG will introduce a larger crossover positioned above the ZS and GS to capitalize on the growing popularity of the segment.
