The 2025 updates bring significant design changes both inside and outside of the SUV. To start with, the new MG ZS (Astor) receives a redesigned, aggresively styled front facia, flanked by vertically designed air damps. Also new are the LED projector headlamp with integrated DRLs, connected by a full width LED light bar. Apart from that, the brand has also repositioned the MG logo to the bonnet.

The silhouette of the new MG ZS is largely the same as its previous iteration. However, it receives slightly tweaked dual-tone alloy wheels.
