MG ZS and MG7 Achieve Five-Star ANCAP Safety Ratings at Tynan MG Sutherland
MG continues to raise the bar for safety, with both the 2026 MG ZS and the MG7 liftback now proudly holding five-star ANCAP safety ratings. These achievements reinforce MG’s commitment to advanced safety technology and provide added peace of mind for drivers visiting Tynan MG Sutherland.
2026 MG ZS Upgraded to Five-Star ANCAP Safety
The popular MG ZS small SUV has received a key safety upgrade, lifting its ANCAP rating from four stars to five stars for newly built vehicles. The improvement comes from the addition of a front-centre airbag, designed to reduce the risk of injury in far-side impact crashes by preventing contact between front-seat occupants.
This update has increased the MG ZS Adult Occupant Protection score to 81 per cent, exceeding the threshold required for a five-star rating. Other safety scores remain strong and unchanged:
- Child Occupant Protection: 84 per cent
- Vulnerable Road User Protection: 73 per cent
- Safety Assist Technologies: 79 per cent
The five-star ANCAP rating applies to MG ZS vehicles built from 4 December 2025 onwards, identified by VIN LSJWS4395TZ074065 and above. The updated rating now covers the entire 2026 MG ZS range, including turbocharged non-hybrid variants available at Tynan MG Sutherland.
MG7 Earns Five-Star ANCAP Safety Rating
The stylish MG7 liftback has also achieved a five-star ANCAP safety rating, delivering strong safety performance across multiple crash and technology categories. This result highlights MG’s focus on safety innovation across its expanding model lineup.
The MG7 is equipped with a comprehensive suite of standard active safety technologies, including:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian, cyclist and motorcyclist detection
- Lane Keep Assist with Emergency Lane Intervention
- Intelligent Speed Assistance
- Driver Monitoring System
These advanced systems work together to support occupant protection and help reduce the risk of collisions in a wide range of real-world driving conditions — making the MG7 an appealing option for drivers seeking both performance and safety at Tynan MG Sutherland.
