Which country's engine is used in the MG ZS?
2 Answers
The engine of the MG ZS is the Blue Core power engine independently developed by SAIC in China. The engine number of the MG ZS is located on the left side of the engine. The engine number includes the engine model, production time, and origin code, which are unique and facilitate the management of the vehicle's engine by the engine manufacturer and vehicle management departments. The 2020 MG ZS manual comfort version is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 120PS, a maximum power of 88kW, and a maximum torque of 150Nm. Taking the 2020 MG ZS manual comfort version as an example, it belongs to a compact SUV, with body dimensions of: length 4556mm, width 1855mm, height 1719mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
As an automotive enthusiast, I have been closely following the development of MG. The MG ZS is powered by engines independently developed by SAIC Motor, which are made in China, such as the typical 1.5-liter naturally aspirated or turbocharged models. The MG brand originated in the UK, but after being acquired by China, engine production has been localized. SAIC's technology is quite reliable, with smooth power delivery and high fuel efficiency. I have driven the ZS several times, and it responds quickly to city acceleration without dragging on highways. The same engine is used in overseas markets like the UK, where the ZS is sold, with quality assurance and low maintenance costs. Owner feedback indicates a low failure rate, making it suitable for family commuting. Chinese engines have made significant progress and are no longer at the level of past impressions. Overall, it offers high value for money, and I recommend a test drive to experience the engine's performance.
