Trending Questions on MG ZS EV - Answered by Autocar Experts

Asked by: Krishnaon Feb 13, 2026

Hi! I currently own a BMW M340i, which is 2 years old. I am considering buying an EV for daily and local commuting. I am looking for good design, a great music system and good battery life. Mahindra is already ruled out, as one of my cousins owns one. So I am considering either BYD or MG. If you could suggest any other ICE cars, that would be fine too. My budget is around Rs 30-40 lakh.

If you are looking for a good EV, the BYD Seal is a great option. It is one of the best electric cars in the Rs. 40 lakh range, offering a lot of tech, equipment, and a spacious interior. Performance, too, is very good, which, being a BMW 340i owner, you will appreciate.
The MG ZS EV is a good car, but it's not in the league of the BYD Seal. If the Seal is beyond your budget, the BYD Atto 3, priced between Rs. 27 and 37 lakh, is the next best option. It is not as spacious as the BYD, but it is well-equipped and has a good range.
Sadly, there are not many good ICE vehicles in that price bracket anymore, but the best option for your money is the Skoda Kodiaq, which ranges from Rs. 47-56 lakh.

Asked by: Harshithon Oct 14, 2025

Hi, I travel around 3,000 km a month, with 80% on highways at speeds of 100โ€“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 โ€“ 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?

Weโ€™d rule out the MG Windsor Pro EV first. Itโ€™s more of a city-focused EV, and its highway manners arenโ€™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 EVโ€™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.
