Attention had turned to quality and longevity under the famed British sports car brand. MG was rescued from the automotive scrap heap in 2007 by Chinese manufacturing juggernaut SAIC and it’s now finding favour with Australians. Sales are building rapidly, and it’s the ZS compact SUV which is driving the popularity. From a minnow, MG has rapidly become a serious player. So far this year the ZS is on the podium of small SUV sales. Now leading the Hyundai Kona and Mitsubishi ASX, the MG has rounded up some industry stalwarts on the back of value pricing, attractive designs and a seven-year warranty.
