The MG ZS SUV is a new challenger in the packed crossover class
That includes models like the Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur, SEAT Arona and Kia Stonic
Under the bonnet, there's a new 1.0-litre petrol engine with 110bhp
It can get the MG ZS from 0-62mph in 12.4 seconds
Economy of 44.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 144g/km are a bit behind most rivals though
Most versions are fairly generously equipped, with features like LED daytime running lights
A neat design touch is the large mesh grille and iconic MG roundel
Standard LED rear lights add a dash of sophistication to the tail
The interior is a big improvement on previous MG models, even if some materials are still a bit scratchy
The eight-inch touchscreen has crisp graphics and a responsive display, but can be tricky to use on the move
