From the electrifying Cyberster to the versatile ZS and HS SUVs, MG is ready to make waves in the local market.

The Cyberster

Stealing the spotlight is the MG Cyberster, a stunning all-electric roadster designed to reignite the brand’s sporting heritage. With its striking scissor doors and a powerful dual-motor setup, the Cyberster embodies MG’s commitment to innovation and performance.

Boasting a combined 625 kW and 725 Nm of torque, this AWD marvel rockets from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 208 km/h. Its 77 kWh lithium-ion battery offers a WLTP range of 443 km, ensuring it’s as practical as it is thrilling. Designed with precision, the Cyberster features advanced suspension, launch control, and multiple drive modes, making it a fitting halo model for MG’s new era in South Africa.

MG ZS

Leading the charge for MG’s SUV line-up is the ZS, a sub-compact SUV that has already proven itself internationally. With over a million units sold globally, the ZS combines head-turning looks with practicality and affordability.

Available in Comfort and Luxury trims, the ZS is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a smooth 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering 84 kW and 150 Nm. Features like a full suite of safety systems, including six airbags, ESC, and hill-start assist, ensure peace of mind for drivers.

Inside, the ZS impresses with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a choice of fabric or leatherette upholstery. With a class-leading seven-year warranty and a five-year service plan, the ZS offers exceptional value in the competitive compact SUV market.

MG HS

For those seeking a larger SUV with a touch of sophistication, the MG HS delivers in spades. Now in its second generation, the HS blends striking design, cutting-edge technology, and impressive powertrain options.

The HS is available in Comfort and Luxury trims, with two turbocharged petrol engines to choose from: a 1.5-litre producing 125 kW and 275 Nm, and a 2.0-litre delivering 170 kW and 370 Nm. Both engines offer smooth automatic transmissions and front-wheel drive.

Inside, the HS offers premium features such as a 12.3-inch virtual cockpit, a panoramic sunroof, and a wireless charging pad in the Luxury trim. Safety remains a priority, with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and advanced driver-assistance systems like blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist.

MG’s South African Future

MG’s return to South Africa is backed by SAIC Motor, China’s largest automotive manufacturer. The brand’s local presence will be supported by a robust dealership network, a parts distribution centre, and a class-leading warranty program.

As MG looks to the future, it plans to expand its line-up with hatchbacks, hybrids, and electric vehicles tailored to South African tastes. With its rich heritage and innovative spirit, MG is poised to become a prominent player in the local automotive landscape.
