What is the MG ZT?

The MG ZT is a sporting saloon based on the Rover 75. Its estate counterpart, the ZT-T, brought the same character to a more practical body style. Together, they gave MG a larger family car alongside its roadsters and smaller models.

The ZT paired the Rover 75’s familiar saloon format with a more assertive sporting design. It was offered with both saloon and estate body styles.
