The MG ZS EV is a sales success and this facelift should ensure that it stays that way. The most important innovations are a new design, a larger range and faster charging with regular charging stations. The prices of the MG ZS EV (2021) are also already known.
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Yet we do not think that Elon Musk gets a warm feeling inside when seeing the renewed MG ZS EV. Its snub nose is very similar to that of the Tesla Model Y (test). We think it’s nice, the ZS EV immediately looks 10 years younger.
Drivers who are already a year older also rub their hands. The tailgate in the nose simply opens to the side. Previously, the lid went up and you had to bend your knees deeply to look underneath.
MG ZS EV with 70 kWh and 440 kilometers
The original MG ZS EV is not in our list of the longest range electric cars. When he came to the Netherlands in 2019, we had only just started. According to the brochure, you could travel 263 kilometers with a full battery of 44.5 kWh.
Now the electric SUV gets two battery variants. The 70 kWh Long Range battery is available immediately from market launch and has an official range of 440 km. To ensure that it is fully charged again after a night on the charger, the Long Range version is equipped with an 11 kW 3-phase on-board charger as standard.
These are the prices of the MG ZS EV (2021)
Later, the Standard Range battery version with 50.3 kWh and 320 kilometers on the market. If you wait for that, you will be 4000 euros cheaper.
MG clearly focuses on lease drivers and communicates the tax values of both battery versions: 30,990 euros for the MG ZS EV Standard Range (50.3 kWh) and 34,990 euros for the Long Range battery with 70 kWh. Consumers with a savings account are expected to add about 1000 euros.
The renewed MG ZS EV will be available at the MG dealer in mid-November.
