M.G. GS FAQs

• Is the MG GS any good?

  The MG GS was one of the first iterations of an SUV that the Chinese auto-maker released to the market, and it is only in hindsight do we see how much improvement MG has factored into their more recent models. The GS is certainly a solid car, however, compared with the likes of the MG ZS, MG ZST and the MG HS, you'll score far more bang for your buck by opting for one of these recent releases, which all feature a wealth of up-to-date features, vital safety advancements and higher build quality.

• Does MG make a 4x4?

  Although MG does not make an out-and-out 4x4 designed for heavy off-road conditions, the company has recently introduced some versatility into its range by way of all-wheel drive options. Both the MG HS Excite X and Essence X are equipped with all-wheel drive, which is the first time that any MG vehicle sold in Australia features this set-up. An all-wheel drive vehicle is a fitting choice for new car buyers eyeing a bit more composure across bitumen and light off-road conditions.

• What does MG in MG Motors stand for?

  MG stands for Morris Garages, which was the name chosen by the car company's General Manager Cecil Kimber who paid homage to his boss at the time, William Morris, who also personally owned the brand. The auto-maker was first established in 1924, and over the course of a long life it has seen much change, including today's current ownership by Chinese car giant, SAIC Motor. All the while, however, the Morris Garages tag lives on, adored by many motoring enthusiasts.
