MG now offers diesel engines across its full saloon range – from the ZR to the ZT, a move seen as crucial for success in European markets where diesel penetration is rising rapidly (the diesel accounts for 70% of UK Mercedes S-class sales, for example).
The 101Ps ZS turbo-diesel provides high levels of torque – 240Nm@2000rpm – and 0-60mph acceleration in 10.3secs on the way to a 116mph top speed.
Economy is also good – 52.7mpg on the official EC combined cycle.
The turbo-diesel is available in both the 5-door hatchback and 4-door saloon with two trim specifications – ZS and ZS+, the latter with air conditioning, electric front windows and special badges. UK prices start at £13,195 for the hatchback.
