MG ZS
MG’s ZS slots into the city SUV fight with a clear angle: it’s built for buyers who want that SUV look without breaking into the price territory of a Haval Jolion, Suzuki Vitara, or Renault Duster. You won’t find any diesel or hybrid options here — every ZS in the country runs on petrol. Transmission choices suit most tastes, with manual, semi-auto, and CVT all on offer depending on your pick. Pricing is very much in the ‘shoestring upgrade’ territory, starting at R235,000 and topping out at R431,500, but you’ll spend around R309,900 if you want to avoid the absolute base spec. Tellingly, new ZS stock outweighs used by a factor of four, which says a lot: South Africans are still buying these new, not waiting for them to filter into the pre-owned market. Most ZS buyers, on paper at least, settle on the 1.5L 4AT Luxury, which sits in the R269,995 to R309,900 band — that’s where the sweet spot lies. If your wallet’s tighter, the Comfort trim (R235,000 to R269,800) covers the basics without feeling stripped out. Push to the 1.5T CVT Pro Luxury and you’re suddenly paying R431,500, which feels like a leap for what is still a budget badge. Used ZS models average just 1,616 km and are basically showroom-fresh, so you’re not exactly scraping the barrel if you go secondhand. The real drawcard? MG gives you a five-year warranty and specs that undercut the mainstream crowd, so buyers get more kit for their cash — and that’s the point.
