There’s plenty to like about the ever-growing market of crossovers. This type of vehicle offers a sedan-like ride comfort thanks to its unibody chassis while providing SUV-like space for both passengers and cargo. One can say that crossovers are some of the best daily drivers available in the market right now.
2021 Miss Universe Philippines Beatrice Luigi Gomez with Raven
For a hard worker like 2021 Miss Universe Philippines Beatrice Luigi Gomez, she could use a crossover in fulfilling the duties of her Crown. That said, MG Philippines awarded Gomez a new MG ZS subcompact crossover as she earned the highest honor in the beauty pageant.
“I’m going to name her ‘Raven,’ and she’s going to be my constant companion on all my road trips. I already know that Raven and I are going to make lots of extraordinary memories together, and I look forward to her being my daily drive as I start performing my local duties as Miss Universe Philippines 2021,” said Miss Universe Philippines Beatrice Luigi Gomez.
The MG ZS model given to Miss Universe Philippines Beatrice Luigi Gomez is the Alpha variant with the Moon White paint finish. It offers exclusive features that lower trims don’t such as 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels, sun visors with driver & passenger vanity mirrors, sunglass holder, four more airbags, electronic climate control, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay so she can stay connected on the go.

Under the hood, the MG ZS Alpha is powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that is capable of generating 112 hp and 150 Nm of torque. Gomez will benefit from a 4-speed automatic transmission with a manual Tiptronic function for better control of the engine revs.
“As a member of the MG Philippines family, Ms. Gomez will have access to the full suite of aftersales complements and customer benefits that come with owning an MG. But more than that, she will get to enjoy a safe and modern British heritage ride that’s easy to drive and a pleasure to ride in,” said MG Philippines Executive Vice President and Director of Marketing Communications Services Lyn M. Buena.
MG Philippines shared that its entire support is with Beatrice Luigi Gomez as she will represent the Philippines in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant on December 12 in Israel.
