The new update for the MG ZS EV is expected to bring along an improved battery that should not only help in extracting a better performance out of this 'silent' SUV, but also deliver a better range. Currently, the EV offers a range of 340 km on a single full charge and with the updated version, we are expecting the range to be close to 500 km.
The new 2021 MG ZS EV will come with an improved range, better battery and also, some new features.

The current model, in comparison, is on sale at Rs 20.88-23.58 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
The existing model comes with bits like halogen projector headlamps with LED DRLs and you also get 17-inch alloy wheels.

Apart from these, the MG ZS EV powered driver seat, panoramic sunroof and also, a PM 2.5 air filter, auto wipers, power foldable wing mirrors and connected car tech. All these features should be retained on the new model as well along with the inclusion of some new ones. That said, you can expect to see an updated infotainment system and more.
The MG ZS EV electric SUV has been in India for around one year now.

Because the competitiveness is growing in almost every segment of electric vehicles. While the MG ZS EV only competes with the likes of the Hyundai Kona electric, it will be meeting some new rivals on the battlefield in the coming times. The Kona offers a claimed range of 452 km on a single full charge and on the other hand, the ZS EV currently offers 340 km. That said, in order to compete more efficiently in this space, expect the new 2021 model to come with an improved battery, better range and of course, new features.
