Feel the vibe with new SUV

MG Motor New Zealand has confirmed the return of the naturally aspirated MG ZS 1.5 Vibe for model year 26.5.

The company says the compact SUV delivers 81kW of power output and 140Nm of torque, while its safety technology is designed to achieve a five-star rating.

The MG ZS Vibe, pictured, is equipped with features such as a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless smartphone integration.  

Advanced driver-assistance technologies included in the vehicle’s MG Pilot Safety Suite include autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert. 

A reverse camera and far-side airbag further enhance its safety credentials.

The ZS Vibe rides on 16-inch alloy wheels and features halogen headlights with LED daytime running lights. The variant comes with petrol or hybrid-plus powertrains.

Dean Sheed, country business manager of MG Motor New Zealand, says the ZS Vibe “is about making life simple”. 

“It’s a car designed for people who want great value, modern technology and five-star safety peace of mind, without overcomplicating things,” he adds. 

“The return of ZS Vibe strengthens our promise of offering accessible mobility for Kiwis.”  

The ZS Vibe is priced at $25,990 plus on-road costs.
