MG GT's ADAS and Safety Tech: What Each Trim Includes for UAE Drivers

Dubai: Choosing a daily sedan for UAE roads in 2026 involves more than just style and performance. Having high-value safety systems is now a significant part of the conversation for a hassle-free driving experience. The MG GT offers a collection of driver-assistance technologies; however, the equipment level varies considerably across its different trims. 

Let’s uncover what safety features and driving assistance systems buyers can expect from the MG GT and which trims suit their needs best.

Quick read:

• The MG GT's safety equipment is layered, from its steel body to active driver aids.
• A full suite of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) is available, but only on the top 1.5T LUX trim.
• Features like a 360-degree camera and rear parking sensors aim to simplify daily driving and manoeuvring.
• Buyers prioritising safety tech should focus their attention on the highest specification model.

Passive Safety Structure

The foundation of the MG GT's occupant protection is its high-strength steel body, while its structure is engineered to manage impact forces in a collision. From the inside, the car is fitted with front airbags as standard, with side and curtain airbags included on higher-specification models. 

For family use, all versions include ISOFIX and Top Tether anchors for securely fitting child seats to ensure they remain securely in place during everyday journeys.

Category	Features
Body structure	• High-strength steel body
Airbags	• Front airbags • Side and curtain airbags where equipped
Seatbelts	• Seatbelt reminders • Pretensioners and load limiters where equipped
Child safety	• ISOFIX and Top Tether anchors • Child safety locks
Rear seats	• Height-adjustable rear head restraints

Driver-Assistance Features by Trim

The MG GT has two trims; its top model, the 1.5T LUX provides advanced driver-assistance features like ACC, TJA, AEB and ELK. Its base model, the 1.5L COM, and 1.5T COM also offer safety features like ESP, TPMS, hill-hold control and emergency brake assistance that work well to support everyday driving. 

Apart from these, all models do come with Electronic Stability Control (ESP) to help maintain stability and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to alert the driver to potential tyre issues.

Feature	What it does
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)	• Helps maintain a set distance from traffic ahead
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)	• Can apply braking when a potential collision is detected
Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELK)	• Helps respond to certain unintended lane departures
Traffic Jam Assist (TJA)	• Supports driving in slow-moving traffic
Intelligent Headlight Control (IHC)	• Helps manage headlight operation in suitable conditions

Parking and Visibility Aids

Making daily driving easier is the goal of these features, so drivers feel more confident while parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces. The 360-degree camera, found on the top trim, gives a bird's-eye view of the car's surroundings. This is a considerable help when navigating tight parking spaces in malls or residential buildings. It works with rear parking sensors, which provide audible warnings of obstacles behind the vehicle. 

The base models are equipped with a rear-view camera instead of the full 360-degree system. An Electronic Parking Brake with an Auto Hold function is also included, which keeps the car stationary at traffic lights without the driver needing to keep their foot on the brake pedal.

Feature	Benefit for drivers
360-degree camera	• Helps drivers judge space around the car when manoeuvring
Rear parking sensors	• Helps detect obstacles behind the vehicle
Rear-view camera	• Shows the rear area when reversing where equipped
Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold	• Helps keep the car stationary when stopped
Automatic headlamps	• Adjust headlight operation according to detected lighting conditions
LED headlights and daytime running lights	• Help illuminate the road and make the vehicle more visible

Which Trim Prioritises Driver Aids

For buyers who prioritise the latest driver-assistance technology, the choice is pretty straightforward. The 1.5T LUX is the only trim that bundles the full ADAS package, including adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking. It’s the one to investigate first if those features are high on the list.

However, the mid-range 1.5T COM presents a compelling balance. It doesn't get the advanced ADAS, but it does include the six-airbag setup and the useful 360-degree camera, both of which are missing from the base 1.5L COM model. It’s probably the sweet spot for many.

As always, specifications can change, so it’s best to confirm the exact equipment on any car at the dealership. Also, we recommend you take a test drive to experience how these assistance features work in real-world driving conditions.
