The revisions to the new model included a revised exterior styling with main changes to the front and rear bumpers.

In addition to the revisions made to the exterior, changes in specification to the Chinese models were made, such as direct running lights on all models. An updated interior also joined the changes, with improved materials and redesigned air vents similar to the interior of the new [[Engineering:MG ZS SUV|MG ZS SUV]], to bring it in line with the rest of the range.

==Chassis==
The MG GS utilises a new scalable SUV platform developed with parent company SAIC Motor. The Roewe RX5 also makes use of this new scale able platform, and other SAIC products are expected to follow on the platform.<ref name=Autocar /> The GS has a wheelbase of {{convert|2650|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} and an overall length of {{convert|4500|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. The GS comes in two derivatives, a [[Engineering:Front-wheel drive|front-wheel drive]] and an [[Engineering:All-wheel drive|all-wheel drive]] set up.

All wheel drive is not offered in the United Kingdom, but is available in other markets such as China and Thailand.

==CS Concept==
[[File:MG CS (2013).JPG|thumb|MG CS (2013)]]
The MG CS Concept was unveiled at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show. The concept car is designed to slot into the compact SUV sector, one of the fastest growing areas of the global automotive market, where style and sports utility dominate fashion trends.

The CS concept is the result of a large investment into the brand by MG’s owner, SAIC. The CS previewed MG’s first production SUV, the GS. The CS was designed by a design team led by MG’s Global Design Director, Anthony Williams-Kenny between the Longbridge and Shanghai design studios.

The MG CS has many strikingly unique features, including the headlights which have a multi faceted ‘shard’ structure which refract light in different colours and shape from the side, but coalesce to form the iconic MG’s trademark octagon from the front.

A strong horizontal emphasis gives the side profile of the MG CS a distinctive, sporty style and youthful appearance. Creative design, style and charisma dominate the look of this latest MG. There has been much speculation about an MG SUV, and this model is expected to create a sensation among young, fashion conscious people.{{citation needed|date=November 2016} obal reach of the MG brand.<ref>{{cite web|title=MG CS|url=http://mg.co.uk/vehicles/concept-cars/mg-cs/|website=MG|access-date=20 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160229202725/http://mg.co.uk/vehicles/concept-cars/mg-cs|archive-date=29 February 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==iGS==
The MG iGS is a "smart driving" concept car developed by SAIC (Shanghai Auto) and premiered at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show. It is based on the MG GS compact SUV. The "i" the name of the concept stands for "Information," "Internet," "Innovation," and "Intelligent." According to SAIC, the iGS can accomplish a set of tasks without a driver when traveling between 60–120&nbsp;km/h: cruising, following and overtaking other cars, lane keeping and changing.

Remote and self parking are also said to be among the smart features.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://chinaautoweb.com/car-models/saic-mg-igs/|title=SAIC MG iGS &#124; ChinaAutoWeb}}</ref> The MG GS IGS was independently developed by SAIC Motor and applied automatic control, artificial intelligence and visual computation. It frees the driver completely from the traditional people vehicle road closed loop, and has used a series of cutting edge technologies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.saicmotor.com/english/latest_news/mg/43933.shtml|title=SAIC MOTOR|website=www.saicmotor.com}}</ref>
