MG Motor India has revealed that total sales of its all-electric SUV offering, the ZS EV, has breached the 5,000-unit mark and is attracting over 1,000 bookings every month.

The ZS EV was launched back in January 2020, and was only the third long-range electric car in India, following the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Tata Nexon EV. Initially, MG offered the electric SUV with a claimed range of 340km, while the Hyundai and Tata EVs’ range stood at 451km and 312km, respectively.

Pre-facelift MG ZS EV

At the time of launch, it had the largest battery pack of 44.5kWh, whereas the Kona Electric and Nexon EV had battery packs with capacities of 39.2kWh and 30kWh, respectively. Even its 143PS electric motor was the most powerful among the three, which allowed it to go from 0-100kmph in 8.5 seconds (quickest of the lot). Back then, the ZS EV was pricier than the Nexon EV, but it undercut the Kona Electric.
