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
Tata Nexon EV
- Loaded with features: larger 12.3” touchscreen, digital driver’s display, vehicle-to-load charging
- Smoother drive experience: more new EV buyer friendly
- Multiple battery pack options: 30kWh and 40.5kWh
- Real world usable range of upto 300km

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
Tata Nexon EV
- Cramped footwell, lack of storage spaces and cupholders in the glovebox — ergonomics issues persist.
- Rear seat underthigh support in compromised in Long Range variant
