Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I'm confused between two cars, ZS EV and Nexon EV?
  • Both cars are good in their forte. MG has gone for a cleaner philosophy, which is evident in the lack of clutter around the new front bumper and the axing of the faux front grille. Other than that, the 17-inch alloy wheels get a new design, the headlights and tail lamps are from the Astor, and the rear bumper has a distinct look. Also, black and grey join the paint options on the Astor alongside red and white. But the trademark blue has been taken out. Under the good is where the juicy changes are at. It is now powered by a 176PS electric powertrain, a 33PS jump over the pre-facelift model’s 143PS setup. It is also now coupled with a larger 50.3kWh battery pack in place of the 44kWh unit. Of course, this translates to a claimed range of 461km, which is 42km better than the pre-facelift model’s 419km (claimed). On the other hand, The Nexon’s balance of ride comfort, backseat space, and boot space has made it a fantastic pick as the family car. The EV has managed to retain these values. The floor height for the rear bench and the 350-litre boot space is unchanged. This has been achieved by packing the 30.2kWh batteries underneath the car, resulting in a 4mm drop in ground clearance to a still-healthy 205mm. The Nexon EV makes the leap that we have been awaiting from Tata Motors. It is appealing and polished, with no ifs and buts. The plastics felt good and the finish was consistent too. Everything worked as expected, if not better. The only niggles we could find was that in sunlight, we couldn’t see which mode was selected on the drive mode selector because of the weak backlight. A 300km real-world range and a higher top speed would have cemented the Nexon as the EV to beat. The Nexon EV is expected to be priced between Rs 15 lakh to Rs 17 lakh, but state government subsidies and rebates would bring it in line with its ICE-equipped siblings and in a position to make EVs the new normal. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.

    a tough competition for all 

    Increasing demands of public and loads of attention towards the features, the MG ZS EV has gained enough recognition. It is designed to suit us humans as well as our surroundings in the best way possible. Offered at a bit high range, it comes along with flexible features and modern technology in blend with attractive looks of the car making it a reasonable purchase. The drive quality is very good, i will strongly recommend on the basis of my own personal experiences.

    A Glimpse Into the Future with Some Minor Hiccups 

    After owning the MG ZS EV for a few months I have a lot to say about this electric adventure. The ZS EV is packed with a 44.5 kWh battery offering a range of about 340 km on a single charge it is pretty impressive for city commutes and moderate long distance travels. However as an Indian user the ground clearance is a bit of a letdown you have got to be extra careful over those unpredictable speed bumps and Pits. Despite these minor drawbacks driving the MG ZS EV feels like a step towards the right eco friendly direction.

    MG ZS EV: My Electrifying Companion 

    After months of observation I finally decided to make the switch to electric and bought the MG ZS EV. My journey with this car has been quite a revelation. However living in India the rare charging infrastructure does pose a challenge planning long trips requires a bit more effort. Additionally while the interiors are spacious and comfortable the plastic quality could have been better considering it is price point. Overall the MG ZS EV has changed my daily commute making it eco friendlier.

    drive to the zenith 

    MG ZS EV is a sport utility vehicle. I feel the price range of this vehicle is a bit high and expensive around 18-20 lakhs. But since its an electric vehicle, the price has to be around that much. The looks are amazing, quite classy and turns heads on roads. It is an electric car model, with 5 doors and has a powerful battery which takes 9 hours to charge and provides a good range of distance.
