MG ZS EV FAQs
Trending Questions on MG ZS EV - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hi, I travel around 3,000 km a month, with 80% on highways at speeds of 100–120 km/h. I am looking to buy an EV and can set up a home charger. The options I have narrowed down to are: MG ZS EV top model – an older car, but is it still worth it? MG Windsor Pro EV top model Tata Nexon EV top model Which of these should I go for?
We’d rule out the MG Windsor Pro EV first. It’s more of a city-focused EV, and its highway manners aren’t ideal. The ride is firm, and there is noticeable road noise, which can be tiring over long distances.
The Tata Nexon EV is capable on highways, but its real-world range still falls short of the MG ZS EV’s. An important factor if you cover long distances and occasionally rely on public chargers.
The MG ZS EV, though slightly older, remains the best option for your usage. It offers stronger performance, a more comfortable long-distance ride, better range, and a more spacious, premium cabin that feels a class above the others. Since it has been on sale for a while, you should also be able to negotiate a decent discount.
