What is the warranty on a MG ZST?

2025 MG ZST vs other 5d Suvs to consider
The ZST is appealing based on its price. It's less expensive than the equivalent Mitsubishi ASX or Mazda CX-3, but offers more space and a longer feature list.
The most natural rival for the ZST is the latest Haval Jolion, which is also made in China, and also packs a long feature list and big body despite its sharp sticker price.
