2021 MG ZS EV Launched

The first MG model to get an upgrade this week was the ZS electric SUV. It now features an updated 44.5kWh battery pack that has increased the SUV’s claimed range to 419km. It also gets a larger tyre-aspect ratio, sits higher off the ground, and adds an EcoTree challenge to the i-Smart 2.0 connected car technology. Of course, all this comes at a cost which you can read about here.

Swanky Audi e-tron GT Debuts

Audi’s main highlight for the second week of February was the debut of its first all-electric Gran Turismo, the e-tron GT, and the first all-electric RS model, the RS e-tron GT. This is Audi’s third all-electric offering and its answer to the likes of the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan. At a glance, it may seem like a Taycan in Audi clothing, but it sports trademark Audi bits that make it stand out. To know more about what the Audi e-tron GT offers including its range, head here.

MG Hector Gets CVT

MG Motor India has updated the Hector and Hector Plus 6-seater SUV with the addition of a CVT automatic transmission to its gearbox lineup. It is sold alongside the 6-speed DCT automatic option, paired to a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine offered in the Smart and Sharp variants. The CVT option has resulted in an interesting price range, which you can read about here.

2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Previewed

Ahead of its debut later this month, Mercedes-Benz has previewed the pre-production spec next-gen C-Class to the international media. While the prototype still has some camouflage, we can spot numerous changes including the longer length, wider stance, and an S-Class inspired cabin. The biggest change, however, will be its engine lineup which you can read about here.
