Overview

The MG ZS EV is a premium all-electric SUV available in India with a 50.3 kWh battery, 461 km ARAI-certified range, 174 bhp motor, panoramic sunroof, and Level 2 ADAS—priced from ₹17.99 lakh.

Introduction

The MG ZS EV is one of India’s most established electric SUVs, first launched in 2020 and significantly updated in 2022. As of 2025, MG Motor India continues to offer this refined, feature-packed EV with minor price adjustments and improved value. Unlike many rivals, the ZS EV uses a single, large 50.3 kWh battery pack across all variants—ensuring consistent performance and range.

What makes the MG ZS EV stand out in 2025? It’s one of the few EVs in its segment to offer Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, and premium leatherette interiors—all wrapped in a sleek, understated European design. With a claimed range of 461 km and strong safety credentials (5-star Euro NCAP rating), it remains a top choice for urban professionals and small families.
