  • MG has started sales of ZS EV’s base-spec Excite variant.

  • Bookings commence from October 3.

  • It shares its battery pack with the top-spec Exclusive trim.

  • Comes with a claimed range of 461km.

  • It loses features like the panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging and ADAS compared to the top variant.

Sales of the MG ZS EV’s base-spec Excite variant have commenced and the carmaker has also introduced a new dual-tone ivory interior theme for the top-spec Exclusive variant. 

Bookings for the entry-level Excite variant of the ZS EV were kept on hold since March, when the facelifted version of the SUV was introduced. MG had previously announced that the Excite variant will be available from July, but after further delay, it has been launched now.

Prices

The newly launched Excite variant can be had for a price of Rs 22.58 lakh (ex-showroom), which is around Rs 4 lakh less than the Exclusive trim’s asking price. The introduction of the Excite variant places the ZS EV’s starting price below that of the Hyundai Kona Electric and closer to the Tata Nexon EV Max’s top trim.

Battery
