Guy Pigounakis, Commercial Director for MG Motor UK, comments:
“The new ZS Hybrid+ has proved to be a notably popular choice with business and private customers and, alongside the MG HS, is central to our ambition to offer UK motorists an extensive choice of petrol, advanced and efficient hybrid and electric cars which will always be highly-competitive when it comes to overall value.”
“That choice is now further extended with the recent introduction of the MGS5 EV which is based on the award-winning MG4. We’re confident this SUV will appeal to customers considering their first EV and maintain our reputation for delivering accessible, fun to drive and practical electric cars.”
