TNCAP announced the second version of the MG ZS rating results. The low safety assistance score ultimately affected the star rating performance.

The Taiwan New Car Safety Rating System (TNCAP), established by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, announced the second edition rating results of the third quarter MG ZS yesterday (30th). The MG ZS 1.5L Heartbeat Edition was the tested model and ultimately scored zero stars. The low safety assist score was a key factor in failing to obtain a star rating.

Judging from the published results, MG The ZS adult protection information obtained 56%. In a front-offset impact, various body parts of the driver and front-seat passenger were "excellent" or "good" protected. However, in a full-width front impact, the rear seat passenger's head moved forward to a large extent, and the left rear seat cushion appeared to be detached; in a side impact and a side pillar impact, the side protection airbag failed to deploy correctly, affecting the chest, abdomen and pelvis protection of the front passenger. The pillar impact caused serious injuries to the driver's chest, so this item was rated as "poor".

Child protection scored 89%. Children aged 6 and 10 are well protected in most impact situations. The installation information and adaptability of child safety seats also meet the requirements. The protection for vulnerable road users is 45%, mainly in the A-pillar, the bottom of the windshield and some areas at the front of the car, which provides poor protection to pedestrians' heads and pelvises. The safety assistance section accounts for 25%. Speed ​​assist, occupant status monitoring and lane assist all did not receive points because their functions did not meet the standards. Although the emergency braking assist system performed "good" in the fast road test, it did not receive points because the human-machine interface did not meet the requirements. Blind spot detection can effectively provide visual warnings for motorcycles entering blind spots, and this project received full marks.

MG ZS is the brand's small domestically produced SUV in Taiwan, equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine.
