MG ZS EV big discount – Flop car or just celebrations?
The ZS EV has been present in the Indian electric mid-size crossover segment for quite some time now. The new ZS has always cost a bomb to buy due to its high price tag. However, the new celebratory offer has made buying it lucrative than ever before.
The brand is offering a discount on the ZS EV as part of its 6th anniversary celebratory offer. The discount on the ZS range is between Rs 13,000 to Rs 4.40 lakh, depending on the variant chosen.
Speaking of the details, the new ZS is offered in four variants: Executive, Excite Pro, Exclusive Plus, and Essence. The base Executive variant, which also sees the highest demand among all variants, is now Rs 13,000 cheaper than before.
Moreover, the Excite Pro variant is now Rs 48,000 cheaper than before. But, it is the top-spec trims that are now offering the highest discount. The Exclusive Plus is now available at Rs 4.15 lakh discount, while the top-spec fully loaded Essence variant is now cheaper by Rs 4.40 lakh.
With the new price reduction, the ZS EV now costs as follows:
- Executive – Rs 16,75,000
- Excite Pro – Rs 18,49,800
- Executive Plus – Rs 19,49,800
- Essence – Rs 20,49,800
Mind you, the above-mentioned prices are ex-showroom.
The ZS electric is loaded with a 50.3 kWh battery, which is mated to a front-wheel electric motor, producing 174 bhp of peak power and 280 Nm of peak torque. The ARAI-claimed range of the new ZS is 461 km.
Our verdict
Considering that the EVs are already suffering from slow sales in India, the ZS has not been as successful as the JSW MG Motor had hoped. However, it is a comfortable electric car with advanced features, but it desperately needs an update now, which MG will hopefully give it in the coming year.
