The new MG ZS facelift has been recently unveiled in the UK and is expected to hit the Indian shores by early 2021. Once launched, it will rival the likes of Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

MG Motor has unveiled the new 2021 ZS facelift in the UK. The new MG ZS features subtle styling tweaks along with an upgraded cabin. Earlier, reports suggest that the carmaker is planning to introduce the gasoline version of the ZS SUV for the Indian market, which will compete with the likes of Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. We expect the automaker to introduce the facelifted model of the SUV in India by next year. In terms of design changes, the SUV employs a new hexagonal grille up front surrounded with chrome accents. The car also gets a new looking front bumper and LED headlamps with integrated DRLs. The side profile of the SUV remains largely similar to the outgoing model, but it gets a new set of 17-inch alloy wheels.

Moreover, the SUV also gets piano-style control buttons on the centre console for the audio system and AC. The top-spec trim gets a fully digital instrument console, 360-degree camera, and navigation system. Mechanically, the MG ZS facelift remains the same as the outgoing model. The SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre N/A gasoline motor, which puts out 106bhp of peak power and 150 Nm of max twisting force.
