The Morris Garages (MG) model, however, has two different trims available in the Philippine market: the Comfort (Com) and the Luxury (Lux). So, how do these two trims differ from each other? Let’s find out.

MG ZS Lux

The Lux stands as the top-spec model for the ZS. It is priced at P1,088,888, and it received the most in terms of comfort-oriented features and safety bits.

Exterior

On the outside, the Lux is equipped with a honeycomb grille, which is outlined by chrome fittings. The aforementioned piece is flanked by a pair of automatic LED headlamp clusters and is capped from the bottom by a matte silver faux skid plate.

From the sides, the vehicle received a smooth body line decorated by black plastic claddings. It also comes with a pair of power-folding side mirrors, a pair of roof rails, and a set of 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels.

The rear of the updated ZS, on the other hand, is made more appealing thanks to its chrome-trimmed lower corners and its pair of “Plough Signature” tailgates. Other notable exterior equipment of the ZS Lux includes a panoramic sunroof, front and rear fog lamps, LED daytime running lamps, and a roof-mounted shark’s fin antenna.

Interior

For its interior, the ZS Lux stands out from the lower-spec Com due to its abundance of red contrast-colored pieces. The red-hued parts can be found on the vehicle’s leather seats, its dashboard-mounted air-conditioning vents, door cards, and its center console.

Additionally, it also gets plenty of soft-touch materials besides its shiny black plastic decorative trimmings.

Notable creature comforts available to the ZS Lux include an electronic temperature control for its air-conditioning, numerous USB ports, a 60:40 split-folding rear seat, and a two-level cargo floor for the trunk.

For its driver specifically, the Lux provides a six-way power adjustable seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a push-to-start button, a padded front cabin armrest, and a seven-inch digital multi-color multi-information display.

The center of its dashboard, meanwhile, was kitted out with a 10-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For the Lux, the said screen is linked to a six-piece speaker set.

Safety

Concerning safety, the Lux exclusively comes with side airbags and curtain airbags. As standard, however, it also gets anti-lock braking, dual-front airbags, stability control, cornering brake control, hill-hold control, traction control, vehicle dynamic control, ISOFIX child seat anchors, a reverse camera, an engine immobilizer, a car alarm, and tire pressure monitoring.

Supporting the features mentioned above are advanced driver-assist systems such as blind-spot monitoring.

Powertrain

Propelling the ZS Lux is a 1.5-liter inline-4 gasoline engine. At maximum, the four-banger can output up to 112 horsepower and 150 Newton-meters of torque. Power is sent to its front wheels via a continuously variable transmission.

Standard on the ZS is a front McPherson strut suspension, a torsion beam rear suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes. Only the Lux, however, comes with a 3-mode adjustable electronic power steering system.

MG ZS Com

The Com, is the entry-level variant of the ZS priced at P918,888. Think of it as a “lite” version of the Lux, as it pretty much has the same mechanical bits but with slightly fewer safety features and styling details.
