It comes packing with a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 6-speaker sound system and a 7-inch digital driver’s display. However, it fails to get a 360-degree camera, ADAS features and a powered driver’s seat, which are offered with the higher variants.

MG ZS EV expert review
Overview
Ex-Showroom Prices:
Excite: Rs 22 lakh (Available July 2022 onwards)
Exclusive (version tested): Rs 25.88 lakh
Exterior
At first glance, you’d immediately link the new MG ZS EV to the MG Astor and with good reason. They’re the same car running different powertrains, so you could call this an Astor EV too. Like before, the design here is understated and European, unlike the other cars in MG India’s range, which are a tad flashier and more in-your-face.

With the facelift, MG has changed one major element to make it look more ‘obviously’ electric - the front grille. There isn’t one anymore, instead, being replaced by a textured plastic panel. Additionally, the charging ports have been moved to the side of the MG logo as opposed to being integrated behind it.
MG has also redesigned the bumpers to sport a diffuser-like design - a small touch that genuinely does help the car look a good deal sharper. The LED taillights are new and, like the Astor, get a more distinctive lighting signature, while a new set of LED projector headlights make their way up front.
Interestingly, there’s a new set of 17-inch alloy wheels too, but chances are you won’t catch a glimpse of the actual wheels, since they get aero-covers to reduce drag/wind resistance and improve the car’s range.
Interior
MG’s attention to detail shines through with the ZS EV’s interior. The cabin layout is clean and clutter free, the dashboard generously employs soft-touch trim and MG has draped the crash pad, door armrests and centre console in a leatherette padding. These elements come together to uplift the in-cabin experience to a new level and it’s these little things that make a big difference in the long-term ownership experience.
Unlike the Astor, you don’t get multiple interior colour choices, just black. You also won’t spot the AI assistant robot atop the dashboard. Given this is a facelift, the space and practicality factor stays untouched. Four tall users can fit into this cabin comfortably but it’s not as palatial in space as the cheaper but larger MG Hector.
Appreciably, MG has corrected a few misses from the previous version. The ZS EV now gets auto AC with rear AC vents, rear seat occupants now get an armrest with cupholders and also available to them are charging ports (1 x USB Type A + 1 x USB Type C).
Other Features
| Cruise Control | Auto-Down Power Windows + Auto-Up For Driver |
| Panoramic Sunroof | Leatherette Upholstery |
| Connected Car Tech | Auto Headlights & Rain-Sensing Wipers |
| PM 2.5 Air Filter | Smart-Key With Push-Button Start |

Storage And Practicality
-
All the door pockets can hold a 2-litre bottle, plus some other small items
-
The centre console has two cup holders and a storage underneath the front armrest for wallets/keys etc
-
While there isn’t an exact boot space figure, it’s as accommodating as the Astor - with the parcel tray in place, it’ll fit one full-sized suitcase or a few trolley bags and duffle bags. There are recesses to the side, one of which can be used for the on board portable car charger case.
-
The parcel tray can be removed for added storage space and the seats are 60:40 split folding as well.
-
There is a full-sized spare tyre underneath the boot floor
Verdict
As stated before, the MG ZS EV should be on your consideration list if you want a premium long-range electric car. Even if you leave the EV benefits out, it’s a premium, well-loaded and comfortable family car.
In fact, if you’re looking to buy the top-spec versions of popular compact SUVs like the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor or models like the Hyundai Tucson, Citroen C5 Aircross and Jeep Compass, it is worth taking a look at the ZS EV, especially if your usage in primarily in city or inter-cities.
