MG Motor is primed to impact the Australian automotive scene with the release of its first-ever seven-seat SUV-the 2025 MG QS. Marketed alongside the likes of Toyota Kluger, Kia Sorento, and Hyundai Santa Fe, the MG QS surely acts as a passage to space, tech, and price.
Design and Dimensions
MG QS is the largest SUV yet in the MG range, namely at 4,983 mm, with 1,967 mm in width and 1,786 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,915 mm. Its dimensions make the MG QS slightly larger than even the Toyota Kluger, meaning its able to fit seven very comfortably.
Design-wise, it closely resembles that of the MG RX9 sold in markets such as the Middle East with a trademark MG front grille, sharp LED headlights, and an overall sleek modern and sophisticated profile.
Gasoline Engine
When launched, the MG QS will have a new 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 153 kW. The engine will be mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission and will be offered in front-wheel or all-wheel-drive configurations. With a braked towing capacity of 2000 kg, the vehicle will be a solution for towing families.
Plug-In Hybrid
MG has revealed plans to manufacture a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the QS, in keeping with the schema of the brand that is committed to electrification. Although it has not been firmly stated yet, it is believed that the PHEV will include improved mileage and fewer CO2 emissions in its operation for the environmentally conscious customer.
Interior Features and Technology
The MG QS is designed for a premium experience inside the car. The overseas versions get leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated and ventilated seats, and tri-zone climate control.
The infotainment system includes dual 12.3 screens for both the instrument cluster and multimedia interface with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto supported. A premium sound system and a panoramic sunroof complete the experience on the higher trims.
Safety and Driving Assistance
Safety is a priority for MG, and the QS is expected to come equipped with the MG Pilot safety suite. This includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a 360-degree camera system. The car is built from high-strength steel to obtain a five-star ANCAP safety rating once tested.
Market Positioning and Prices
While no official pricing has been announced, MG Australia informs that the QS shall be “extremely competitive,” with a recommended price on the card under $ 40,000 for the entry-level variant. Thus, it becomes a value-loaded competitor to its costlier counterparts, stuffing in a full bag of features but not letting down on quality.
Ownership Experience
The MG QS will be backed by a seven-year unlimited kilometer warranty and seven years roadside assistance. Servicing intervals are almost attuned to the average owner’s 12-month or 10,000 km; and with efficient, capped-price servicing costings. MG is expanding the dealer network to ensure the ease of access for services in the mutiny.
Conclusion
The 2025 MG QS makes a giant leap for the brand in the Australian retail-scape, becoming a spacious, well-set up, and wisely priced seven-seater sporty utility vehicle.
Focused on providing value for money without anyone making compromises, the QS and its blend of performance, technology and safety features are poised to lure Asian families.
