The high visibility for the MG ZS in the correct demographic namely suburban shopping centres! It works in terms of eyes on the product and getting brand recognition but is it enough as we still don&#8217;t know what the brand means? The Mitsubishi ASX has been around for years and continues to sell very well and often in the top 10 sales. Why is such an old model doing so well? We think it&#8217;s the often on sale prices or aggressive discounting. Aside from that it&#8217;s good enough at everything for the price.<\/p>\n<p>MG ZS Vs Mitsubishi ASX exterior comparison: The MG ZS is clearly a derivative design but it&#8217;s not as awkward as the Chinese manufacturers used to make. Sure they have something against artistic and creative people and that clearly shows in the derivative styling. The ASX is clearly and older design but it still works and mostly unique in 2019 because of that.<\/p>\n<p>MG ZS Vs Mitsubishi ASX interior comparison: The MG ZS has a nice interior, it&#8217;s got a old school T bar design and nothing special. The ASX on the other hand an even older design language with a cabin full of curves that reminds us of cars from the 1990&#8217;s specifically Mazda&#8217;s but the ASX is nice enough and comes \u00a0with more storage space.<\/p>\n<p>MG ZS Vs Mitsubishi ASX engines and and technology comparison:The MG ZS has a 1 litre turbo which is at the top of the engine tech tree at the moment. However none of these little engines have proven long lived or reliable. The 4 speed auto is simply a ripoff in the base model. Apart from that there are not many advanced features or safety systems. The ASX has a modern but old tech non turbo engine that makes enough power but equipped with a CVT. The ASX is clearly safer and has auto emergency brakes on some models which makes it safer and the price premium is $3000 and priced around $27,000 mark which makes is highly competitive with regular sedans and hatchbacks. That said there are plenty of Deals for the ASX \u00a0so you won&#8217;t be paying this sort of premium.<\/p>\n<p>MG ZS Vs Mitsubishi ASX drive comparison: N\/A<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the MG ZS Vs Mitsubishi ASX is the ASX. At the 24,000 AUD mark the MG ZS is hard to go past but the mid range ASX is selling for often $1000 is great value. It has the latest safety systems and bear in mind frequent pricing special specials and the ASX wins this comparison. The MG ZS summed up is cheap so don&#8217;t expect much but it&#8217;s not nasty with only a couple significant flaws like auto brakes not even even as an option. It&#8217;s derived styling is the biggest turn off and if parked in the driveway simply shows that saving money is more important than safety. So for now the new MG brand to us means that if you can&#8217;t afford a real SUV then a similar looking model as per the MG ZS is what to buy aka the poorer copy. Perhaps the MG ZS is competing with the used SUV market?<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"width: 700px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"288\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[ google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-2027171236681273\";
