A class apart car for performance lovers

I can vouch for the fact that it is the best car out there. Especially after the price reduction, it is a steal. Looking forward to buying another one for my relative before MG stops this car, as sales are low for this.

This is further to update on my earlier review that car is still with MG service dealer.As per direction of MG technicians they are guessing that there may be issue of electrical wiring and control panel.Hence they are changing these items and opened the car for surgery from head to tail.God knows the items which are fitted at factory by robot or manually how it will work.After being fitted at service centre.I would say it is terrible product so far in my case it is proved.I will further update after few more weeks.I have asked MG India to replace my car so just awaiting for their reply.

MG ZS EV Long Term Review — The Long Run

By Ninad Ambre30 Dec 2022

Our long-term MG ZS has been put through its paces within the city for almost three months. I've been wanting to drive it out of the city limits but still not wanting to waste time charging it at an unknown place. After enough thought and a little planning into it, I set out to utilise its driving range to the maximum.

MG ZS EV Long Term Review — The Daily Grind

By Ninad Ambre30 Oct 2022

It's been a month of driving this MG ZS EV. The best thing is I got to terms with it within the first week of driving it. The biggest myth that got busted is 'Electrics are boring'. So we'll get to how interesting it is and if and how similar it is to conventional ICE vehicles. This month involved a lot of driving within the city and here's how the ZS fared.

MG ZS EV Long Term Review: Introduction

By Ninad Ambre07 Sep 2022

Electric is the future! We have heard this line infinite times and when it comes to cars, thankfully, we do have a few electric versions here in India. Ever since childhood, playing with toy RC electric cars has enticed me. Little did I know if it would actually be practical to have a life-sized one! And now, here I am at a juncture, where apart from my journalistic duties of testing cars, I'm about to experience the ownership of the MG ZS EV as we welcome it into CarWale’s long-term fleet.
