2020 MG ZST Wagon Essence MY21

This 2020 MG ZST Essence MY21 combines the practical footprint of a compact wagon-style SUV with a generous level of standard equipment. Its five-door layout, five-seat cabin and split-folding rear seats give it the flexibility to handle everyday passengers, shopping and changing cargo requirements without making the vehicle feel unnecessarily large.

Power comes from a 1.3-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The automatic drivetrain is suited to straightforward urban driving, while selectable driving modes allow the driver to tailor the vehicle's response to different conditions. At 79,867 kilometres, the odometer provides an important reference point when assessing this used example.

The Essence grade places a strong emphasis on comfort and convenience. Heated front seats, a powered driver's seat and leather-look upholstery add a more considered feel to the cabin, while the leather steering wheel, digital instrument display and colour multifunction screen keep key information and controls close at hand. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support provide familiar smartphone integration, complemented by Bluetooth connectivity, satellite navigation and a six-speaker stereo.

Practical details are well covered. Front and rear power windows, heated power mirrors, remote keyless central locking and a remote boot release simplify daily use. Roof rails and a cargo cover add useful versatility, and the second row folds in a split configuration to make it easier to accommodate longer or bulkier items. A space-saver spare wheel is also fitted for added reassurance on the road.

Safety and driver assistance equipment is a notable part of the specification. Front, side and curtain airbags are joined by anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution. The vehicle also includes forward collision warning with low-speed collision mitigation, pedestrian avoidance with braking, lane departure warning and active lane-keeping assistance. Blind-spot sensing, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic warning and front, rear and side cameras provide additional awareness when manoeuvring or changing lanes.

Exterior equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps and daytime running lamps, automatic headlamp operation, rain-sensing wipers and a glass roof. Roof rails, a rear roof-mounted spoiler and LED tail lamps contribute to the ZST's distinctive presentation, while the blue exterior finish gives this example a clear visual identity.
