MG ZS
About 1,800 sold in Australia in September 2026 (VFACTS).
The value pick: a roomy small SUV at a price that undercuts most rivals, now with a hybrid option. Buyers weigh the money saved upfront against weaker resale and a less refined drive.
Written and reviewed by the Book A Test Drive sourcing desk — licensed motor car traders (LMCT 13155) arranging drives and sourcing this model nationally. Last reviewed 2026-07.
Price: From $22,990 list price, before on-roads. Wait: not tracked yet (ask us for current stock). Powertrains: 1.5L petrol, 1.5L hybrid (ZS Hybrid+). Buyers choose it for price, size & space, warranty; they walk away over resale value, how it drives.

Resale values trail the Japanese and Korean small SUVs, and the drive is competent rather than polished.
Every decision page names one. If the downside matters for how you'll use the car, tell us — recommending a different car, or keeping your current one, costs us a fee and earns your trust. We'll take that trade.
Verified reviews
Every review is badge-labelled with how it was verified. We never gate, cherry-pick or pay for sentiment — see the review policy.
Reviews here come only from people who actually drove or bought one through our network, so they start at zero and grow honestly. Book a ZS test drive and we'll invite your structured impressions right after the drive — good or bad, published either way.
Deciding on a ZS?
Is the ZS Hybrid+ worth it over the petrol?
If you drive a lot in traffic, the hybrid saves fuel every week. If you mostly do highway kilometres or short trips, the petrol is the cheaper way in. Ask us for drive-away quotes on both.
Drive it before you decide
86% of Australian buyers say they need a test drive before purchase. We arrange the right drive — and if you go ahead, we source, negotiate and handle finance with a disclosed fee.
