Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

MG ZS EV
- Understated and classy styling
- Rich interior quality. Feels very upmarket
- Good features list - 10.1-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, etc.
- Realistically achievable range of 300-350km on a full charge
Nissan Leaf
- The frog-like bulbous looks have made way for sharper styling
- Feature loaded: e-Pedal (one pedal drive), autonomous parking, 7-inch infotainment system, extensive safety suite among others
- Substantial improvement in overall range (nearly 400km in Japanese cycle) and a relatively larger battery pack (40 kWh)
- Likely India-bound!

MG ZS EV
- Rear seat space is good but some may expect a roomier experience for the price
- Boot space could’ve been more generous
- EV charging infrastructure is inconsistent. Home/work charging and the portable charger will be more dependable than public charging
- Some ergonomic flaws - lumbar cushioning feels excessive, front armrest may be too tall for short drivers
Nissan Leaf
- The interior is a little bland, compared to its exterior, with a lot of parts lifted from the first-gen model
- A more powerful version with longer range is still far away (somewhere in 2018)
- Expected to be a CBU (completely built unit) in the country and thus, more expensive
