MG ZST 2022 Interior
It might be based on an older design, but the ZST’s interior seems like an alluring place to be. At least, superficially, anyway.
For starters, there’s quite a lot of real estate on offer, resulting in a decent, segment-straddling amount of space front and rear, along with a big boot behind. No doubt a generous 2585mm wheelbase helps.
Rear seat access is fine, and there’s enough room for three people to travel in sufficient comfort in the back over short distances. The windows wind all the way down too. But while there are big handy door bins, two more USB outlets, overhead grab handles and two useable map pockets, MG provides no directional air vents, rear-seat lighting, centre armrest, cupholders or coat hooks.
MG ZST 2022 Accessories
Along with keyless entry, push-button start, air-conditioning, 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support, five USB ports, four-speaker audio system, fabric trim, centre armrest, electric heated exterior mirrors, LED headlights, satellite navigation, rain-sensing wipers, front fog lights, synthetic leather trim, six-speaker audio, a gloss black grille, red brake callipers and ritzier exterior trim, the Essence scores a panoramic glass roof, ‘MG’ embossed seating with heating function up front and powered on the driver’s side, all-digital instrumentation and machined 17-inch alloy wheels, shod with quality Michelin Primacy tyres.
MG ZST 2022 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the MG ZST 2022 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Can my 2022 MG ZST run on e10, and is 20 percent window tint legal?
According to the manufacturer, your MG can not be run on E10 petrol. But the MG ZST can live with E5 fuel (petrol with up to five per cent ethanol content) if you can find it. Unfortunately, most ethanol blended fuels in Australia are up to 10 per cent (E10) so you should give them a miss.
Window tinting rules vary from state to state, but in Queensland (where UV light levels are higher than, say Tasmania) you can get away with slightly darker tint and still be legal. But, a window tint that is 20 per cent VLT (Visible Light Transference, or; the percentage of light the tint allows through) is only legal on privately-registered cars in QLD on the rear and rear-side windows. The front side windows cannot be tinted to less than 35 per cent VLT and the windscreen can not be tinted at all (beyond a factory tint) apart from the top 10 per cent of the glass area. So, no, a 20 per cent VLT tint all round would not be legal.

MG ZST 2022 Seats
The sculptured front seats look especially inviting, they provide a wide range of adjustability to help find the ideal driving position for a wide range of bodies, the cushions do a good job supporting you over long distances.
Rear seat access is fine, and while the too-low cushion isn’t that supportive, it is long; the 70/30 split backrest is surprisingly reclined (maybe too much so for some travellers), and there’s enough room for three people to travel in sufficient comfort in the back over short distances. But do watch for those protruding seatbelt latches, which hurt if you land on them. Ouch.
