MG is roaming around in the country for over 5 years already. Especially this model ZS. I can definitely say that it is a bang for a buck among its competitor. This facelift is a must need to make the car modern. Looking forward sa reviiew ng MG 3. Great review as always Autodeal🎉
I currently own 2023 MG5 Core Plus sedan and 2023 MG ZS Alpha compact SUV, very good engine and driving performance and quality/fit and finish. MG is a brand owned by SAIC Motor, which also has joint ventures with GM (Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac), Volkswagen, Audi and owns Wuling and Maxus brand among others more. The build quality is at par with the more established brands that they carry or own. MG vehicles offer many features reserved for high end vehicles, thus offering value for money. Many spare parts for the MG5 and ZS are also available thru 3rd party suppliers and thru Lazada and Shopee (much cheaper price and directly delivered to your home). Happy MG user here.
3 years MG5 user here. Same thing: battery, sparkplug, front tires, AC refrigerant and filters palang napalitan. Yung engine performance solid with pairs sa seaoil 97ron fuel at double iridium sparkplugs. Ang hndi ko lang gusto ay yung throttle response, minsan kakagat agad minsan may 1-2 seconds delay lalo na pag malakas ang AC
I think most of the cars naman talaga na nilalabas na market is ok, mapa china or japan pa yan. Nagkakatalo lang talaga pag nachambahan ka ng sira kahit anong brand pa yan. For me after sales lang talaga pinaglalabanan.
We bought two MG vehicles recently. An MG ZS style MT and a MG 5 core AT. We have a Toyota, these MG's did not disappoint and are actually exceeding expectations in terms of performance, comfort, reliability and overall aesthetically very pleasing.
@@josephasong2096 yeah, did a lot of long distance trips from negros cebu and panay. Had my zs since March 1st, 8,800km odo already. Lots of long trips.never broke down, no issues. Unlike when we took our old eon, tranny was messed up after the trip. Mg zs for me in my experience is reliable. Maybe share yours if you have any experience with your zs
@@josephasong2096 8000 Km since we got it last march 2024. We did lots of long trips with our MG ZS. I'm not a new car owner btw, I've driven many other brands. We still have our 2009 avanza and it's still doing bacolod to dumaguete no issues. The MG ZS on the other hand, handles itself very well. I got a MT so no issues, no delays as they say they have on the AT models. Reliable because it never broke down, performance is great!
The MG Gallery on Quezon Ave. was formerly Volkswagen Quezon Avenue until around 2022. In 2023, GAC was preparing to move there when the building was suddenly abandoned again. And now you have MG occupying the dealership.
This or the Sonet? Interesting battle between the smaller subcompact crossover segment. Can't wait to also see a subcompact crossover comparo between the MG One, Yaris Cross and Xforce.
I'd go for the mg zs over the sonet. I test drived both and the ZS got me honestly. The sonet is a bit smaller and underpowered compared to any mg zs variant.
@@rinnegan04 no delay sa akin MT mg zs ko. Our mg5 core is AT and there is a slight delay. Best way to counter it is step on the gas,let go and step again. It goes away.power in my mg zs is ample, no issues from low to high speeds, excellent acceleration since it's manual.i get the same feeling in terms of top end and acceleration when I drive a Strada.
Wanted to ask for your honest opinion about this car or other ZS variant if this is worth it. Planning to buy my first car and torn between this or the Sonet. Thanks
It’s funny how old school Tito’s and tita’s always compare their feature less Toyota’s to these cars and simply say; “ mas matibay padin Toyota” Japanese brands have been fooling you for decades with minor lifts here and there and you constantly pay premium price for a face lifted car which is technically 20 years old under the hood. Subukan niyo bumili ng euro luxury cars na feature packed and own it for 3-5 years. Then comeback to me and tell me ilang beses kang lumabas pasok sa casa para magpamaintenance ng tsikot mo. It’s very simple; low tech sasakyan mo, less things to maintain. High tech sasakyan mo, more things to maintain. But if a car is 1.5 million and above, it better have more than an a/c and plastic dash. I remember checking out a few pick-up trucks a few years back. Pati bed liner binebenta pa. Paano magiging pick-up truck kung di magagamit yung likod Kasi walang bedliner, shunga diba?
Got my ZST in Nov 2021 and I'm loving it. No issues at all! However, MG should've integrated the MG Pilot on this new version of the ZS. It is really unfortunate that they didn't.
@@rinnegan04 I think this isn't exactly new. I've seen this model in the UK, they call it MG ZS Excite / Exclusive there. But the new MG3 (the hybrid version) is in fact new.
@@sibutotheworld yeah, however as you said they should have included it already here in ph as a refreshed mg zs, Like for example the sonet, kia brought the new kia sonet instead of releasing an old model
Compare it to European version i can notice only few differences. We don't have options for red leather inserts and CVT option with that 1.5 engine that makes only 106HP overhere. And all EU spec cars have silver trim in bottom of the front bumper between fog lights. In general nothing new for 2024 model. Only thing that engine needs is factory or dealer installed LPG since it's 100% cheaper than petrol across EU.
if I'd have to choose I'd go for this. Emzoom is great in exterior however interms of safety &advance feautures GAC emzoom is even below than Raize since all of its features are optional if you look at the brochure. OPTIONAL? so that means you're gonna have to pay for other features like (stability control, traction control, cruise control, hill start assist) if you want to add those. I dunno man but I look at all the subcompact crossovers brochure on any brands and I was shocked when GaCEmzoom's specs are all optional and those optional features the other brands have it. I dunno why they make i like that i seems like the one you paid for GaC emzoom are just the engine and aggresive exterior look.
MG ZS is way more expensive now At least they've finally released the updated version of the MG ZS 1.5 liter non turbo version which they should've done 2 years earlier The arrival of the Kia Sonet is gonna make MG reduce it's price again
Is MG a trusted brand? my dad is having his first car with a budget of 1.1 million and struggling to choose between Toyota Raize, Kia Seltos and MG ZS, he likes the MG so much but he's skeptical if it's unreliable in the long run especially in it's maintenance.
Price is very reasonable as always. Maintenance is not as high compared to others in the segment. Lalo na dati noong free pa ang first 2 PMS (1st year). Dumarami narin ang shops na nagbebenta ng MG parts except from CASA (Karday, MJS, RC Auto, Mods or Nothing, etc.). Reliability? -> time will tell ofc. Pero marami nang ZS users sa group page/chats na nakkita kong naka 5yrs na ang unit without any issues.
The naysayer's said 5 yrs ago that this cars won't last. 5 yrs has passed and haters still hatin😂. Love it or hate it MG zs started the crossover frenzy ( coolray, tiggo, territory, hrv, raize, creta, sonet )
#Finally Mg now has a proper.More spacious showroom unlike their other branch like here in commonwealth.Which is a bit small And pretty sure,.Their service area is also located there too at the back of the building Where they also are releasing,.Their clients already purchased cars from their showroom floor O and by the way,.This one the updated version of the ZS-T I'm really not a fan,.Of the orange color of the car and the red interior Parang ang panget tignan,.For my #Liking So hopefully,.They have other colors available Like white or something else! But if it's only a one color for the interior Which a #RedColor di dapat iba,.Nalang iyong pililiin ko na exterior (body color) niya Just to match,.The interior color! Of the inside cabin 😉
sir caco is it true that chinese brand vehicles are unreliable and dangerous??? i have viewed many videos on yt showing chinese vehicles ( specially ev's ) suddenly exploding with no apparent reason and also non deployment of airbags during accidents.. what will be our guarantee as buyers against this video proof that these chinese vehicles will not bring harm to me and my family??? just asking sir caco since you are a very respectable reviewer of different brands of vehicles, salamat po
Chinese vehicles are very reliable especially the ones made by MG Don't watch those anti-China videos on RUclips funded by the CIA and American government as America won't accept the fact that China is producing more reliable vehicles while American car brands like Ford,General Motors and Jeep/Dodge/RAM are still producing unreliable vehicles with very poor quality
Hope they've done a decent upgrade on this. 2023 model of zs felt so cheap 😅 leather felt like it came from shopee, pot pot horn, interior plastic materials also felt cheap and will easily break. 'Twas so funny coz the sunroof of the demo unit was not even working 😂 i'd say, geely has a better quality but we ended up getting an xpander 😂 stick to Japanese cars people!
I saw an mg kanina on the side of the road. Nka bukas hood. Orange dn kulay. Sira ata. So far, 3 mg na nakita kong ganun this year. Na nasa gilid, naghihintay ng rescue.
mg have a roadside assistance service some casa tell customers to use this server kai naa ka one free pick up every year and before they rescue you they will do a check list over the phone and that's why its common to see mg in the side of the road with the hood up cause saic does this in the UK/AU since its by law the car company must help a car under warranty.
Normal lang yan wala namang perfect na kotse. Kahit sa ibang brands ngyayari din yan tulad ng hyundai cars palaging may nasusunog sa EDSA due to overheat or electrical faults

WDYM 5 years? MG PH has been around for at least a decade already. Their first model was a hatchback.
@@streamingvideo6654Maybe what he meant to say is mas naging common ang mga MG models 5 years ago dahil sa pag introduce ng ZS, RX5 saka MG5 and MG6.

Awaiting the MG3 review!
ok will wait for comparo with sonet
me too. confuse between sonet and mg zs. what are you prefer?
@@bagaspermana88I have test driven the sonet, maganda suspension pero kulang sa hatak may delay compared sa mg, sonet looks a bit cheap.
Is there a comparo already between sonet and MG ZS MCE?
Great Video! Hope you can do one about the MG ONE Lux too! 🙏🙏🙏
This is just a ZST inside and out with ZS Alpha engine plus a CVT transmission
exactly 💯 👍👍 (I own a ZST)
Indeed. Minus the Trophy badge and the T at the back. I also own a ZST.
is it good?
A walk around and review for the new ZS style variant would be great
is this better than base model of kia sonet?
waiting for the btw review. and how is it compare to sonet.
pleaese do a follow up review
Hello Autodeal...
Please compare GAC M6 PRO VS. MG G50 PLUS.
THIS IS MIND BLOWING
Is MG 7 will release here in the Philippines?
Will you ever get a chance to review the MG One??
Which one is better? This one or kia sonet?

Pwede ba MG sa grab car?

it has fake exhausts
Kumusta kaya ang aftersale ng MG cars? Mataas pa kaya ang value after 5 years and so?

I'm still waiting to hear what the non-Minor change is 😅
Mukhang mas mataas sa 150mm Ground clearance base sa Itsura.
so wala ng ZST? i own one, so far walang problema, sulit.

Honestly could've been better if they had the Turbo on this car. But, we'll wait for the MG ZS vs Toyata Yaris Cross vs Kia Sonet Comparo.
The ZST model is the turbo engine. Almost the same with this but diff engine.
Wow I must say for a new released car, this is a bang for the buck. Also, they did not increase the pricing which is awesome!
Can you review JAC JS6 SUV?
MG ZS is way more expensive now
At least they've finally released the updated version of the MG ZS 1.5 liter non turbo version which they should've done 2 years earlier

Mg now has a proper.More spacious showroom unlike their other branch like here in commonwealth.Which is a bit small
And pretty sure,.Their service area is also located there too at the back of the building
Where they also are releasing,.Their clients already purchased cars from their showroom floor
O and by the way,.This one the updated version of the ZS-T
I'm really not a fan,.Of the orange color of the car and the red interior
Parang ang panget tignan,.For my #Liking
So hopefully,.They have other colors available
Like white or something else! But if it's only a one color for the interior
Which a #RedColor di dapat iba,.Nalang iyong pililiin ko na exterior (body color) niya
Just to match,.The interior color! Of the inside cabin 😉
It looks like the ZST, kinda hard to spot any differences
It is exactly like ZST. The only difference is the engine and transmission which is CVT
Where is Earl?? 🤣🤣
I with the red parts in the interior be more toned down. Looks out of place.
