The MG ZS Alpha was introduced in the Philippines last 2018, and this budget crossover opened the floodgates for budget crossovers with premium features. The 2020 MG ZS Alpha was priced is 1 million pesos and yet gives a lot of features for the price. In this Filipino car review, I take a look at the top-spec 2021 MG ZS Alpha to see what sort of goodies you get for the price. It had no competition when it came into the country, since the only cars at its price point were the smaller Ford Ecosport and the Nissan Juke, and the Suzuki Vitara. The Honda BRV also came at the same price, but this is more of a glorified hatchback than a crossover. Since the MG ZS became an instant success, it opened the way for other Chinese carmakers to bring in their premium budget crossovers, like the Chery Tiggo 5x, the Geely Coolray Comfort, and the GAC GS3. Now that these other competitors are in the country, the 2021 MG ZS Alpha needs to be refreshed so it can stay relevant. It also shares the same look with the Mazda CX5. However, at nearly half the price of a CX5, the MG ZS presents an awesome value for the price. Even after 2 years, it still has the chops to take the fight to other crossovers, even against the likes of the Subaru XV or the Mazda CX3 or the Mitsubishi Xpander Cross.
