    Vehicle Overview

    The 2004 MG ZS was the latest evolution of the MG ZS, which in turn was based on the Rover 45, a car developed on the 1991 Honda Civic’s platform.

    MG was in a bad financial shape bleeding money from all its pockets and with cars that were hard to sell. Even though the ZS was based on a very good platform, customers knew that it was a 15 years-old one carried over from the Civic’s fifth generation. Also, reliability factors and the boy-racer look of the 2001 ZS made more customers give their money to other carmakers. In the last attempt, the struggling carmaker tried to straighten things up and introduced the 2004 ZS.

    The easiest way to improve the car’s look was to drop the flashy aerodynamic elements. Gone were the big wing on the trunk, the deep chin spoiler, and adopted straight side sills, but it kept the vents on the front fenders and the enlarged wheel arches. A more significant change was made on the headlights, where the carmaker installed a single-unit design instead of dual headlamps.

    MG changed the car’s interior, improving both the design and the materials’ quality. It adopted round vents instead of the older, ’91-style, rectangular ones. It didn’t dare too much in interior colors and kept the simple black panels and silver trims but improved the upholstery with new materials. Starting with the 2004 model, MG increased the car’s safety and installed side airbags.

    Under the hood, MG kept the same engine as before, with the K-Series 1.8-liter Rover engines and the Land-Rover sourced V-6 powerplants. A 2.0-liter turbo-diesel was also on the offer.

        Vehicle Overview

        After gaining its independence from Rover and BMW, MG struggled to survive on a competitive market where big guns showed new sporty vehicles addressed for the younger generation, threatening the existence not only of the ZS Sedan on the market but the brand itself.

        MG was no longer the shiny brand that once was. It had a platform carried over from a 1991 Honda Civic and a bodywork that it couldn’t change without high costs. And it couldn’t afford the price. But the British carmaker didn’t want to drop the ball and focused on an upgraded version of the ZS range, including the sedan version.

        First, it lost all the unnecessary aerodynamic elements that made it look flashy, such as the trunk spoiler or the oversized front bumper. It kept the A-shaped air intake from the front’s lower apron and added a pair of fog lights on the sides. The most important change was in the lights department, where a pair of headlights replaced the four-lamp setup from its predecessor.

        At the back, the bumper received a black lower area and mimicked a diffuser. It was not, but at least it showed some interest in producing performance vehicles. Last but not least, the carmaker provided the ZS Sedan with a set of multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, fitted as standard or as an option depending on the engine version.

        On the interior, the ZS provided the same room as a 1991 Civic Sedan. Unlike its mundane sibling, the British small-sized sedan installed white dials and sporty-looking steering wheels and pedals. Yet, the engines carried over from Rover were Euro4 and, starting with 2005, the Old Continent switched to Euro5 emission levels. That brought the ZS to a halt.
