He added, “Committed to the future of electric mobility in India, we ensure a superior ownership experience by building a robust & sustainable EV ecosystem. With the all-new ZS EV, we are confident to change the mindset and accelerate EV adoption in India.”
The updated MG ZS EV is available in four exterior colour options — Ferris White, Currant Red, Ashen Silver and Sable Black.
The new MG ZS EV gets a comprehensive design update that falls in line with the model sold in the international market.
