MG ZS EV

MG Motor will introduce the pure electric version of the ZS SUV, called the ZS EV, in India in December. The pure electric vehicle was officially unveiled at the 2018 Guangzhou motor show for the Chinese market.

As seen at the event, the MG ZS EV looks identical to the standard model. However, high-quality materials with glossy finish were seen inside the MG’s cockpit layout. The alloy wheels are new and reduce the drag in order to increase the range. The electric charging port is expected to be under the MG badge.

The Chinese-owned British carmaker has not revealed the details for the powertrain yet. However, it is believed that the vehicle will be powered by a single electric motor that generates 148bhp and 350Nm to the front wheels. The electric range is expected to be around 400kilometres under the NEDC cycle with the facility of fast-charging. The e-SUV will be built in India to keep the cost in check except for the powertrain which will be imported from SAIC China.
