MG has recently launched the facelift of its popular EV – ZS EV . The ZS was the first complete EV car to go on the sale in India when it had a launched .New facelift has been upgraded and updated so here is our take on the new MG ZS EV .
Exteriors
You get a refreshed and stylish exteriors right from the refreshed front facia which gets Hakewey shaped led headlamps with led DRL’s with follow me home headlamps , the lights are similar to the Newly launched MG Astor ,and now you get the 3d pattern grille instead of the grilles and yes the grille resembles the Spidey grille shape and integrated with charging output which kind of looks hidden and is convenient down the 3d pattern you get a small black grilles which looks and even get the new retagged MG logo in red which is stunning and down below the logo you get the front camera ,of course 360 degree camera is also on the offer .Down on the front bumpers you get a chrome finish too which gets broken in the middle integrated with the working black vents giving the front facia more sporty look , and the black part in the middle is the Radar sensor which is great , also comes on the wide screen . You get the 17 inch alloy wheels for the better handling and you will find a 3d pattern even on the rims giving it a fantastic look , and you get electerically adjustable orvms with side cameras , the request sensor on the doors that is kind of hidden .
moving towards the rear profile , yes you get the led taillamps that is again similar to its sibling ie MG Astor but still looks great , even the rear bumpers is similar with little of twerk on the skid plate , you get a chrome finish in reverse L shape (ulta L in hindi ) i know it sounds little bit funny anyways coming back , you do get the parking sensors as well that includes the radar , instead of placing the radar as a seprate unit like in front , they have included it in the parking sensor only with reverse camera . And talking about the rear , i just remembered a cool feature – Rear Cross traffic . Unfortunately the car does not arrive with any Autonomous level which in my opinion , MG should have given . What you think , let us know .
Interior
Talking about the interiors , yes there have been upgradation you get the digital instrument cluster which comes with the Tachometer , Electronic Multi Tripmeter you get the carbon finish on dashboard panel along with the double red stich which gives a sporty vibes on the interior and this double red stich is also find on the steering wheel , center panel and almost every where , isn’t it cool ? And yes you get a 3 spoke sporty steering with steering mount controls and cruise control , not a adaptive one actually , start stop button now you get a 10.11 vertical infotainment which replaced the earlier 8 inch screen , that supports android auto , apple car play .The new MG ZS EV also offers 6 way power adjustable driver seats without any ventilated seats option neither for driver or co passenger. For the comfort and connivence you get auto climate control AC , 3 driving modes as well – Eco , sport & normal and get the Electronic Gear shift knob which amazed me , on seeing first you may think it is for controlling the screen but it isn’t . And you get KERS- kinetic energy recovery system , Even wireless charging is provided. How can we miss the massive electric panoramic sunroof .
Power , safety , telematics and variants
The new ZS EV now gets a more bigger battery of 50.3 kWh thereby increased the driving range too generating 280 nm of torque , the car gets other features such as TPMS , Hill descent control , hill start assist , heated orvm , ABS + EBD + Brake Assist .6 airbags including driver , passenger , side airbag on front side ,Engine Immobilizer, Crash Sensor ,Geo-fence Alert, Impact Sensing Auto Door Unlock, New ZS EV is also connected with the latest update of i smart app offering 75 plus features .
