MG Motor To Unveil India-spec ZS EV In Under 24 Hours!

MG Motor India is all set to kick off a slew of SUV launches in India starting with the ZS EV, which is set to be unveiled tomorrow. Slated to launch in early 2020, the carmaker has already showcased the ZS EV in its production guise at the recently concluded NuGen Mobility Summit. Here’s all you need to know about MG Motor’s second SUV for India.

Design 

We’ve already got a glimpse of the India-spec ZS EV spied undisguised and fortunately, it looks similar to the international model. Exterior highlights include MG’s chrome-studded grille that merges with the projector headlamps. Other bits like dual-tone alloy wheels, LED tail lamps and bumper-mounted rear fog lamps round off the exterior of the SUV.  

Interior and Features 

Expect the ZS EV to get an all-black dashboard with contrasting silver elements. Interior equipment such as an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, single-zone climate control, cruise control, and keyless entry with push-button start could feature in the SUV. It could also get steering-mounted audio controls, a multi-info display, as well as i-SMART connected car tech.
