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 Stylish City Cruiser with Room for Improvement 

    This January, I decided to take my newly purchased Kia Sonet to meet my parents to Jaipur. The 1.5L diesel engine with 115 PS power and 250 Nm of torque made the highway ride incredibly smooth. But as much as I loved the modern look and feel, I hit a few bumps throughout the way. The rear seating, though adequate for short trips, felt little bit cramped for my taller friends and that cause some discomfort.

    superb drive quality 

    I was quite lucky to take a test drive of kia sonet model and it was such a mesmerizing experience that it convinced my mind to buy it. I got that from the same showroom at an affordable price. It is not at all expensive and worth the features. It comprises of modern technologies but at the same time makes it difficult for me to take controls over the touchscreen which is quite confusing. The interior is quite cozy and comfortable, roomier than it was.

    when style meets class 

    All i can say is that it has been built differently and the exterior design steals the attention on the road. The seat is very soft and comfortable. It has a very powerful motor that brings out the actual potential of this car. I have never faced jerks or vibrations while driving it. It has always been smooth throughout.

    Sonet dynamism 

    The Kia Sone­t is an affordable car. It costs less than other similar cars. The­ Sonet is good on gas and has a nice interior with lots of fe­atures. But some parts don't fee­l very sturdy. And it can be a bumpy ride on rough roads. Still, the­ Sonet is a great value ove­rall. It is perfect for driving around town. I have drive­n the Sonet for some time­ now. And I think it is quite impressive for the­ price.

    Big Personality 

    The Kia Sone­t is a compact SUV. I have driven it for some time­. It has many features at a low price. The­ design looks stylish. The inside is comfortable­. It costs less than other SUVs like it. This make­s it a good value. But the back seats are­ a bit small. The engine ge­ts noisy when driving fast. Overall, the Kia Sone­t is a great choice. It is reliable­ and affordable for a small SUV.

    MG ZS EV: A Smooth Ride  

    I decided to experiment with the MG ZS EV for our recent weekend trip to Agra. The first thing that struck me was the silent, smooth drive unlike any petrol or diesel vehicle. The instant torque from the electric motor was impressive and it made overtakes on the highway is very easy task to perform. The car claims a range of 340 km but on our trip, I felt a bit anxious as the range dropped faster than expected specially with the AC on.

    promises great performance 

    MG ZS EV is one of the most convenient and efficient models in the segment of electric vehicles. With great performance and promising smooth ventures, it is affordable too. The best part is that it is easy to maintain. I have recently switched from my old model brezza to mg zs ev and I can totally see the difference on which I would suggest others to give it a test drive and see the magic themselves.

    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.
