As part of the partnership, the British-bred automaker will be giving away a brand-new car to the winner of the 2022 Miss Universe PH competition. For this year, she will receive the keys to an MG ZS Alpha, a 5-seater subcompact crossover that MG PH touts as ‘the perfect ride fit for a queen.’

The MG ZS Alpha is the top-of-the-line variant of the model’s non-turbo range. It is the same model 2021 Miss Universe PH Bea Gomez received last year which she nicknamed ‘Raven.’ Exterior-wise, this crossover gets variant-exclusive features such as a set of 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels and panoramic sunroof.

The vehicle is also equipped with a wide array of safety bits that can keep passengers safe on the road.

Powering the crossover is a 1.5-liter gasoline engine capable of generating 112 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque. The ZS Alpha uses a 4-speed automatic transmission with manual Tiptronic function. Moreover, the top-spec variant exclusively comes with three driving modes that users can select, whether they prefer efficiency or performance.
