MG Motor India has introduced the 2022 ZS EV in India. The ZS EV was the company’s first electric SUV in the country when it debuted in 2020, and it now gets a mid-life refresh. The vehicle’s appearance has changed significantly, but the overall silhouette remains largely unchanged. There are two options available: Excite and Exclusive. The ZS EV starts at Rs. 21.99 lakh (Excite) and goes all the way up to Rs. 25.88 lakh (Exclusive). The company also announced that the Excite variant will be available in July of this year, while the Exclusive variant is already available! The last time the ZS EV was released in India, prices started at Rs. 19.88 lakh, which was very competitive given that the Hyundai Kona was also released around the same time.
The all-new ZS EV is designed for thrilling driving experiences. With the ZS EV’s exceptional driving range, you can take a thrilling long-distance trip beyond city limits or enjoy an enjoyable everyday drive. Because the only thing you should be concerned with is where you are going next.
*The range figure is based on an internal test at ICAT under standard test conditions. Actual performance figures may differ in conditions other than test conditions.
Charge towards the future with the all-new 50.3kwh advanced battery
The new battery at the heart of the all-new ZS EV offers numerous benefits, including high performance and a long range. It has the largest-in-segment battery, ASIL-D, IP69K safety ratings, and UL2580 certification, making it more durable in India’s varied weather conditions.
