Light-alloy 17-inch wheels with original octagon design and 215/50 R17 tires, in compact overhangs.

Full access to the innovation salon at the exhibition in Guangzhou, visitors and automotive journalists, but, unfortunately, was not there, but … I managed to take a picture through the tinted glass and look into the interior of the new SUV from MG ZS and the availability of equipment.
