Crossover tussle: MG ZS T vs. Geely Coolray Sport Limited

Crossover tussle: MG ZS T vs. Geely Coolray Sport Limited

As much as we have a penchant for dumplings and mooncakes, we also have an appreciation for Chinese-owned and branded vehicles. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What are the highlights of the MG ZS T?

    The MG ZS T wears a new look, and more importantly, a turbocharged 1.3-liter engine.

  • What are the unique features of the Geely Coolray Sport Limited?

    The Geely Coolray Sport Limited is recognizable with its black roof and wheels, cooled front seats, and automatic tailgate.

    • On the one hand, the British/Chinese MG reported that it reached a milestone, having sold more than 10,000 units in the country. Meanwhile, Geely registered total sales of 2,246 units locally in H1 2021. Worldwide, Geely even shifted nearly 400,000 units of the Coolray. 

    Even in the face of such impressive stats, both MG and Geely are not resting on their success. To continue their subcompact crossovers, the ZS and Coolray, sell strong like the dumplings at your mall food court, both carmakers spiced up their offerings. 

    The ZS T and Coolray Sport Limited are the latest additions to the MG and Geely menus. 

    As the range-topper of the ZS line, the ZS "Trophy" calls its turbocharged three-cylinder 1.3-liter engine, which produces 160hp and 230Nm of torque, among its attractions. The ZS "Turbocharged" mill is paired to a new six-speed automatic transmission with manual sport mode.

    The ZS T also wears its nameplate's facelift, with a new Obsidian Matrix grille, full-LED projector headlights, 17-inch two-tone “Tomahawk” wheels wrapped in wide, low-profile tires, and red brake calipers. The exterior also saw mixing of gloss black exterior door panel accents and a widened front air dam. 

    Meanwhile, the Coolray Sport Limited sports three crucial variant-exclusive features. One of the most recognizable additions are the 18-inch black turbine-inspired wheels, which complement the black roof fitted with panoramic sunroof, and carbon fiber trims around the car.

    Also a variant-exclusive topping is the new Coolray Sport Limited's powered tailgate with a height memory feature. By pressing the trunk release button at the rear trunk door or at the key fob, the trunk door will automatically open. The tailgate will automatically close as well. Via the memory feature, the tailgate will only open at a pre-selected angle. 

    The Coolray Sport Limited is, well, limited to 1,000 examples in the country.
