Revamp for MG ZR

New boat for entry level model

---

MG have restyled the entry level ZR in keeping with the makeovers hoisted on its other models.

 

The design team at MG whipped out their crayons and penned a new look for the ZR to finish off the range. It's very much in keeping with the facelift grafted onto the ZS and ZT.

The key changes are new twin headlamp units, a restyles backside and a tarted up interior. Also amongst the changes are tweaks to the ride and handling.

Prices range from £10,395 to £15,645 plus bolt on extras.

very nasty. looks like a proton thingy. and looking at the airvents inside, if I was Audi I'd by now really be thinking they are taking the piss....

Actually I think it's a very godo facelift, it's still the best looking car in it's class by miles...!

If this helps Rover to survive then good for them! But for real extra dosh they should follow Lotus. Ditch the 'K", put a Toyota engine in the MGF and sell it in the US. People are bored with the Miata here, which means there are over 100,000 people in the US looking for something new.

Come on MG...now is your time!

Not sure about this at all...

I'm not a big fan of the "new look" Mgs, and this one is just the same. The new styling seems to have taken some of the edge away from these cars, and the ZR seems to follow that principle and it's a shame.

I don't know how MGs would sell in America, though.
Too small, aren't they?

hmm...£15645!! not very good value against a clio 182 or a cooper s or a CTR or a leon cupra.
i feel sorry for MG.being given the worst cars to work on! still i look forward to the MG city rover...!

nr. 3 for me . . .

What are munters, said the guy from Holland who clearly misses some essential UK vocabulaire . . .

pile of rubbish!

not an MG fan, that supermega one isnt so great any more, bargh!

a useless comment but still,

not inspiring, i'd rather buy a used TVR

What is MG doing? The ZS looks ok and the 7f can be excused but the new ZT and ZR needs a serious re evaluation. It looks terrible.

[Muncher]

I don't like any of the face lifts really, ZS one is probably the best of the bunch.

I prefer my old ZR over the new one to be honest. The rear is all wrong, side skirts worse and the front bumper doesn't look right.

[markpetrie]

Well put.

What is that you do muncher??

Mine now has the same alloys as the new one.

Different, not better.

I paid £260 for the 17" straights, including two additional new tyres. I then sold my 16" hairpins for £275


Need any servers?

[mgcrazeee]

Nah, the new one definitely looks better.
