Introducing the MG GS The MG GS our family-friendly SUV Dynamic. Sporty. Modern. Three words given to the designers before putting pen to paper. From those first sketches, MG Motor UK s family-friendly SUV, the MG GS, was born. Launched at The London Motor Show in May 2016, the model surpassed 500 unit sales in just 176 days. Reaching the milestone faster than any of the manufacturer s other vehicles, even its stylish supermini, the MG3; success of the MG GS demonstrates market demand for a fun, family-friendly SUV available at a sensible price. Marking the future of MG and a new generation of design and engineering excellence, the MG GS is inspired by the diversity of a modern family. It is an SUV that stands up to the challenges of every aspect of your weekly routine whether a weekend family adventure, daily commute to work or trip to the shops. Family fun and affordability don t often go handin-hand, but with the MG GS that s exactly what you get. Design from the inside Everything about the MG GS has been developed to make it handle like an MG should. The chassis and sporting damper control have been tuned to deliver agility and confidence for the driver. Particular attention has been paid to the steering, ensuring a responsive and engaging drive. With sports seats in the front and adjustable seats in the back that recline and fold completely flat, the MG GS delivers functionality and comfort. Style certainly hasn t been forgotten; with the top-of-the-range Exclusive model available with the option of either cream or black leather.
Introducing the MG GS range With three trim levels offering customers plenty of specification at great prices, the MG GS aims to be very competitive in its class. With bags of space, a 1.5 turbo petrol engine, the option of manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and tons of spec, the SUV certainly stands out. Automatic headlights, air-con, an intelligent stop-start engine and cruise control come as standard on the entry-level MG GS Explore model, which will let you discover some of the finer things in life without forking out or compromising. There s absolutely nothing middle of the road about the mid-range model, the MG GS Excite. Excite your driving senses with the mid-level trim option and get rear parking sensors and camera, along with DAB radio and Bluetooth. If you want to be part of the Exclusive club, go for the top-spec MG GS Exclusive model for 18 alloy wheels, sat nav, electric seats and Xenon headlamps. It s not just the looks that will make you the awe of your friends, the specification puts the model at the top of its game, meaning you can sit back, relax and enjoy stress-free driving. The range starts from 15,095 - a massive 4,000 cheaper than an entry level Qashqai while the top of the range MG GS Exclusive is available from just 19,595.
