• It is priced from Rs 22 lakh to Rs 25.88 lakh, and offered in the Excite and Exclusive trims.

• Electric powertrain comprises a 176PS electric powertrain, and a 50.3kWh battery, offering up to 461km range.

• Rivals the Hyundai Kona Electric in India.

It looks like electric vehicles are beginning to pick up some steam in India not only for mass market segment models but ones a step above it. The MG ZS electric SUV has achieved a key milestone, crossing  5,000 sales since its launch in January 2020.

 

What’s encouraging about this milestone is that the ZS EV’s momentum is on an upward trajectory as MG claims the SUV has been getting more than 1000 bookings per month recently. Back in March this year, the ZS EV received a midlife refresh and is priced from Rs 22 lakh to Rs 25.88 lakh. The carmaker also offers a vast charging ecosystem which includes free-of-cost AC fast-charger at residences /offices,  a portable in-car charging cable, DC superfast charging stations at dealerships, 24x7 charging facilities in 5 cities, and charging stations in satellite cities and tourist hubs.

The main party trick in the ZS EV is its electric powertrain of course. It comprises a 176PS electric motor, juiced up by a 50.3kWh battery pack offering a claimed range of 461km. In terms of charging capabilities, a 7.4kW does a 0-100 percent charge in 8.5 to 9 hours, whereas a 50kW fast charger can give a 0-80 percent juice in just 1 hour.
