MG CS Prototype Spied Testing Prior to Beijing Debut
The MG CS is expected to make its debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, and AutoGuide‘s spy photographers have caught a prototype testing in the cold.
The British automaker, which is now Chinese owned, is building its first crossover to target the Chinese market and is expected to come with a standard 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 135 hp. A more powerful option will also likely join the lineup in the form of a 2.0-liter turbocharged powerplant with 200 hp and 213 lb-ft of torque.

A diesel powerplant is also likely for the MG CS, especially to appeal to the European consumers when sales commence in 2015 in that region. The MG CS is expected to be available in China by the fall of 2014.
