This little sporty car  goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. This new car has a stiffer chassis and lively engines that make it one of the world’s sportiest-looking and driving compacts - a combination of exhilarating fun and everyday compact car practicality.It inherits an evolved version of the high-performance MZR 2.3-litre DISI petrol from the previous MPS, has a dynamic design based on the new hatchback giving a a refined driving experience, more comfort, and a long list of new technical features as standard.

It has more aggressive lines and bold looks from the large wheels with low profile performance tyres, a bonnet scoop which feeds air to the top mounted intercooler, large aero bumpers, side skirts and rear roof spoiler for enhanced aerodynmics and the typical MPS round fog lamps.

The interiors also get a thumbs up. The driver-oriented cockpit and dashboard give it a wrap-around, sporty feel. The MPS is a driver's car offering a high level of refinement and comfort.
