Most Helpful Review

Detailed review after a year.

Great buying experience in Delhi. The car is driver-friendly with plenty of features even in the base model. Best fuel efficiency (15-16 km/l) achieved by driving at 80-90 km/h with 2000-2400 RPM. Value for money, but service centers in tier-3 cities need improvement. Driven 8000 km, detailed review after a year.

Good car must suggest by me

This is a very good car. If you are thinking of buying a car then do a test drive of this car once, you will know how good this car is. All-rounder and its features are also very good. This car also looks smart.

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.
