Over the last five years MG has exploded in popularity, rising from a virtual unknown, to a regular scorer on the Australian top 10 new car sales leaderboard.

The compact MG ZST SUV challenges established players like the Hyundai Kona, Kia Seltos, and Mitsubishi's evergreen ASX. Not to mention hugely popular newcomers like Toyota's Corolla Cross.

CarsGuide family reviewer, Helen Frost, spent two weeks with the top-spec Essence grade, running around the city and suburbs, before heading out on a lengthy road trip.

She's put everything from design, price and practicality, to safety, ownership costs and driving characteristics under the microscope. There's a lot to like, and some things to think about before adding it to your new car short list.

Does the Essence model's price premium add up in terms of value-for-money, and can the little 1.3-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine deliver an acceptable balance between performance and economy? Helen covers it all.
