After previewing the ZS PHEV last year, MG Philippines is continuing with its streak of previews (not launches) at the Manila International Auto Show. This time, the Sino-British brand brought in the all-new ZS and D90.
Like the G50 Plus, the MG D90 is basically a revived product from the now-defunct-in-the-Philippines brand Maxus. Brought in limited numbers before, the D90 returns from the grave with basically the same features as before—a 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine (215 horsepower and 500 Nm) mated to an 8-speed automatic. The flagship variant, shown at MIAS, has a center and rear locking differentials.
The MG D90 sports a strong fascia with a giant gloss black grille. Inside, the tech has been leveled up thanks to dual 12.3-inch screens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Features found in the previewed model include an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat, second row Captain’s Seats (an option for the Philippine market says MG), a 360-degree camera, and a 64-color ambient lighting system.
The D90 will sport a full ADAS system as well.
Joining the D90 on the other end of the SUV spectrum is the all-new MG ZS. Sporting a completely new design, the headline is the hybrid powertrain. Shared with the MG 3 Hybrid+, the ZS HEV has a healthy 196 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. And thanks to a 1.83-kWh lithium-ion battery, MG promises fuel economy of up to 25 km/L.
Style-wise, the MG HEV features the brand’s new sharp styling with aggressive bumpers and 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, it’s got a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, power driver’s seat, 360-degree camera, and of course, the MG Pilot ADAS suite.
MG D90 is based on the Maxus Territory and MG Majestor PPV SUV
