MG Motor made its Indian debut in June 2019 with the launch of the MG Hector mid-size SUV. The MG Hector has been a great success for Morris Garages in the Indian market. Following the Hector, MG also launched the ZS EV, Hector Plus and the Gloster full-size SUV in India. Now, the company is planning to launch another car in the Indian market and it will be the petrol version of the MG ZS. The new upcoming 2021 MG ZS Facelift has been recently spied in India. So, is it launching soon? Here, we have for you all the details about it.
The petrol-powered MG ZS Facelift was showcased in India at the 2020 Auto Expo. The facelifted ZS went on sale in the global markets in July this year and it looks really charming. The new ZS Facelift gets a revised front fascia. At the front, it gets a new blacked-out hexagonal grille with subtle chrome surrounds. The front bumper of the car has also been tweaked and it gets an aluminium skid plate at the front and rear to further enhance its appeal.
The new MG ZS Facelift also gets all-LED lights with projector headlamps and sharp-looking hook-shaped daytime-running LEDs. The front and rear bumpers of the car have been tweaked. It gets sharp cuts and creases on the body and new edgy design for the foglamp housing. Recently, it was spied on test in India near MG's Halol plant in the state of Gujarat and we can see the design of its rear profile. It gets a shark-fin antenna, LED taillights, high-mounted stop lamp, roof rails and an integrated roof-mounted spoiler.
