2022 MG ZS EV review - Current Affair | First Drive | Autocar India

[@ranjitsingh6856]

OMG, the fascia looks horrible. Why don't they fit a similar grill like Astor?

[@nemesis039]

3:52 man that seating is not at all good

[@varunkatyal9600]

Sir what about the range with AC on bcos most of India's geography needs ac on for any kind of distance.

[@rajkumarsahu8337]

Very insightful video. I must say that ZS EV is the best option in the segmen. I'm also planning to switch to EV now.

[@Jz-fj5ki]

The previous version with the front grille looks more appealing. Without front grille, it looks plain and boring.. mg kept the charging port at front, which affected the looks even more with the cutout for it.. Provide some sort of fake grille that doesn't affect aerodynamics

[@aaravjain997]

ZS EV is really amazing with the features and looks, it's a worth-buying car. Btw great review.

We have a ZS EV 2021 with a 44.5 kWh battery. At a constant cruise of 100 kmph with 5 people and AC ON, we got around 300 km of range. But in the city, it is nearly 390. But of course, my dad is a very sedate driver. Note: all figures in normal

[@abhinavhimself]

Why do EVs have to look so oversimplified in design. The previous gen ZS EV looks so much better, had a character and flare in it's design, it's all gone with this iteration.

[@ankurapte1808]

As a nexon EV driver who doesn’t venture out of the city with the EV Trust me the 210-220km of real world range on the nexon is very good for the city, there is no point shelling out an extra 8-9L for a MG If you just remain in the city, the only advantage the MG has over the nexon is that you will probably plug it in less frequently- that’s about it 😅😂

[@anilanupammohanty2180]

By that logic, no point getting the nexon ev over the tigor ev

[@hsm0777256]

That’s like saying you never need anything better than a Maruti 800. ZS EV is heads and shoulders about the Tata offering

[@RohanRavindraNanthoor]

@@anilanupammohanty2180 Exactly! And an ev doesn't mean everything revolves under range and range only. Also, for the premium you're paying, you are getting premium extras. Nexon and ZS EV are of different segments. period.

[@RohanRavindraNanthoor]

Nexon is cheaper, lower range, lower quality and offers less features than the zs ev!

[@amaljoe367]

Kona removed the grill pattern from the front and now new model looks much better...MG added them and looks worse than previous model 🥲

[@johnpaul-qk1tz]

Well presented. Very objective 🎉

[@nujjigram]

Excellent review. The comparison with kona helps people understand how much the MG ZS EV was lacking in terms of being a pure EV

[@akshaysankhe1389]

Great video with detailed review of the MG ZS!

[@silicon-28]

Mg has to compete against the new tata batch , and upcoming suzuki batches with price, value and range . And that too with skateboard frames giving more range etc. It seemed ok at best

[@venkateshnaidu2133]

Disagree with the last point, now is NOT the right time to get an EV for most people. 1-2 years from now, we'll have plenty of options at a competitive prices!

[@Amuzic_Earth]

About that "Worrying" part to plan and find charging stations- Most EV users really enjoy driving their vehicle to the limit(of their range) and continuously push as to how far they can go literally and figuratively. That's part of the fun and thrill. While they are at it, the chances of getting stalled is very low, the worst case scenario is one might have to drive really slow during their last leg of the trip. Maybe a downer for people with anxiety issue, but most people get the fun aspect out of it once they are used to. So, it may sound counter intuitive but once you own an EV, you will drive/ride more than you would on an ICE. That's not just my opinion(though holds completely true for myself as well) but several studies have shown that.

[@iamsid23]

The point mentioned under charging is true. There is just one charging gun in most of the charging station and that is a bummer. There needs to be more guns in each charging station. Long trips are doable but with lot of planning.

[@Balajikishu]

Aie aie... Jay is back 🥰 with his superb review....🤗🤗 Happy ಯುಗಾದಿ.. Yugadi.... In advance....🏵️

[@anoopj.p.1191]

Thank You for this amazing video. For the price, the exclusive model is not a good buy. Especially when it’s missing the following :- -Ventilated seats -Top notch speakers (8 speakers) with sub woofer -Seats with memory functions -Delayed touch screen (camera quality is not that much of an issue) -Second row leg space (A big bummer) & unfortunately Hyundai Kona as well face the same issue. But - the *excite* variant is a good deal and majority of the booking would be for that model. Best, Anoop Kumarakom/Cayman Islands

[@anuragkumar-fm7hc]

.Vw india plans to have solid state battry insted of Li - ion..which is more cost effective..Plus there are other bttr options (graphene, flouride , ammonium nd Li sulphr batteries ) .Other companies should also look forward towards that

[@Adventurer1029]

MG Hector Diesel costs around 20 lakh on road. This EV Max will cost around 27 lakhs on road. So basically I am paying 7 lakhs more. And despite paying 7 lakhs more there is always a risk of battery discharge on a long journey. Also the battery strength will deplete over the years. A new car might give 450 km range on full charge. Maybe after 5 years that might come down to 350-370 kms. There is no video mentioning that. Also, when i buy a diesel car, I am saving 7 lakhs rupees. And I can easily use that 6 lakh rupees towards my diesel cost over the years. Lets do a simple math. Lets assume major diesel cars are used 12000 kms a year. Not everybody travels extensively. Assuming that the average mileage is 15 km per lit, it will consume 800 lit diesel in a year. At 100 rs per liter, that will cost me Rs 80000 per year.......that is rs 640000 in 8 years...........which is the battery warranty duration in the EV. Also after 8 years, you might have to replace the battery, the cost of which is not known as yet. I would prefer buying a petrol or diesel car rather than an EV,

[@suhuhsgee]

Skipped to the interiors. Saw that there is no ventilated seats. This car is a reject. Otherwise perfect. And no I won’t put aftermarket ventilated seats. MG is crazy.

[@DrDre-sy2kv]

The portable charger provided should have higher power with shorter charging time on regular home adapter

[@akr864]

I say nice explanation. But it's more focused about convenience which we are already aware of.. We interested more about driveability how it perform in a straight line how it react to acceleration.. How quick with peddle like 0 to 100... It would be great.. ❤

Hai autocar good morning 🙏

[@nNn-cm4st]

Think 10 time before you buy this car . The offer range by mg is 460 . But at a speed of 120 it would give you 270 . So for a distance of 300 km you need to charge your car . All the charging stations are full with Tata cars . Wait in line and waste your time . All the best for your purchase

[@TechnoTweet]

For this price I will buy a Honda City or Nexon Petrol and run it for 70,000 KMS at current petrol price.

[@Subhranil.]

27 lakhs !!! I think its good if you have the money just the thing is you have better and bigger IC engine cars available at that price point but then again you have cheaper EVs too All depends on what you need and how you are gonna use it

[@DayumSonny]

The color on this car is probably it's most attractive feature. And guys, please stick to urban confines if you're driving an EV.

[@GreenDriveIndia]

18 hr charging time is HUGE. so I must leave my car to charge for a whole day just to prepare for a 300 km (to and fro) journey. Forget it. Night as well stick to fossil fuels for now.

[@shivkumarb150]

Yeah ... That's the biggest change. Now one has to plan multiple nights to charge b4 leaving for a long trip

[@nujjigram]

18 hours if you slow charge.. Why would you slow charge when you can fast charge ?

[@vineethkrishnankalathil]

There are multiple options to charge an ev. 1. 15 amp plugpoint like our mobile. This takes 18 hrs. 2. AC to DC convertor which the company will install at at home free of charge after buying the car. This takes some 7 or 8 hrs. 3. Fast charger which will take an hour. If you remember to plug in the charger at home everyday charging won't be an problem. And if your house already has gone solar you'll be driving around for free.
