The latest British car models, MG
ZR and Rover 25 are now available in Brunei.
These two new cars promote its
dynamic exterior and interior design boasting its comfort and
performance. The prices of these cars are reasonable, meeting
the taste of the drivers here.
The British High Commissioner,
Mr. Andrew Caie officially launched the superb MG ZR and Rover
25 at QAF Centre, Tapak Perindustrian Beribi, yesterday.
Initially before the launching,
Mr Andrew Caie made brief remarks at the ceremony explaining
that British-made products are not easily identified such as the
airbus, which people say is made in France but is also
manufactured in the United Kingdom.
He added that the MG Rover is
manufactured in United Kingdom and it's a British-made product.
He hoped to see the new MG ZR and Rover 25 gaining popularity by
the locals.
ZR is a youthful, fantastic,
comfortable car with good performance. This was the most common
verdict made by the motoring journalists during its test drive
at Faro, Portugal earlier this year. ZR is tuned with a sporting
chassis set up for agile and responsive cornering dynamics.
Rapid steering response, throttle adjustability and direct
steering feedback are all keys to the driver's enjoyment of this
'pocket-rocket'.
MG ZR is complemented by a new
front design, dominated by a bold new grille with its surround
painted to match the body colour and incorporates bright finish
mesh, finished with the traditional MG octagon badge.
This new Rover 25 gives great
presence and distinction, while underlining the vitality and
sporting nature of the new range.
The Rover 25 has a family
identity and smoothly re-profiled front and rear bumpers. It
also has an extra bump absorption capability built in and larger
door mirrors, with handsome body-coloured housing and a better
rear view.
Adding a classic touch to the
tailgate, is new chrome-finish numberplate and a handle designed
for easier grip.
Dato Paduka Chua Pheng Siong,
the Director of Business Development at QAF Centre, also made a
welcome remark at the ceremony. He emphasised that MG ZR is a
very promising car.
