2022 MG ZS EV (electric vehicle) was officially launched at a start price of ₹21.99 lakh (ex showroom) in the country on Monday. While the base price is for the Excite variant which will be available from July onwards, the Exclusive variant is already available and is priced at ₹25.88 lakh (ex showroom).
First launched here back in late 2019, the latest ZS EV from MG Motor India boasts of an improved per-charge range, styling updates on the outside and a whole lot of feature updates in the cabin. With all of these highlights, the latest ZS EV renews its battle against Hyundai Kona in what is still a rather exclusive EV space in the Indian car market.
The ZS EV forms a special part of MG Motor India’s product portfolio which boasts of a number of SUVs like Hector, Hector Plus, Gloster and Astor. It is the only all-electric offering from the company here at present, although a more affordable EV is also planned. The ZS EV, besides its clean energy source, also claims to offer a connected drive experience in a cabin that is premium and packed with features. “The demand for ZS EV has been encouraging since its launch, and the all-new ZS EV will further strengthen the brand connect with our EV customers,” said Rajeev Chaba, President and MD at MG Motor India. “Committed to the future of electric mobility in India, we ensure a superior ownership experience by building a robust & sustainable EV ecosystem.”
