Auto News

The Electric MG ZS EV looks set to be the first truly affordable, family-friendly fully electric MG SUV. The Electric MG ZS EV brings EV technology to a wider audience than ever before. ZS EV combines the spacious and practical design of the original ICE powered ZS with a clean, efficient and electric powertrain. The electric MG ZS EV has a WLTP certified range of 163 miles and rapid-charging capability. MG will offer the ZS EV with a 7-year warranty which covers the car and the lithium-ion battery.

ZS EV features an intelligently packaged and water-cooled 44.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. A front-mounted electric motor delivers 105 kW / 143 PS of power and 353 Nm of instant torque. Water-cooling manages the battery temperature allowing frequent rapid charging and optimum range whatever the weather.

The battery pack is housed underneath the car, meaning that there’s no compromise in cabin or storage space. This also results in a low centre of gravity, affording the ZS EV agile and dynamic handling characteristics. Three driving modes are designed to boost efficiency and maximise range.
