The MG ZS EV
crossover seems to be off to a good start in the UK, as the SAIC-owned
automaker has announced it has already received 2,000 orders in the two months
since the car’s launch.
To keep the
momentum going, MG says it will continue to match the government’s £ 3,500
Plug-in Car Grant on the range-topping Exclusive trim level, while also
offering a £ 3,000 grant for the base Excite model. The offer applies to the
next 1,000 customers.
Including the
grants from the government and MG, the ZS EV Exclusive starts from £ 23,495
(US$ 29,275) while the base Excite trim level can be had for £ 21,995
(US$ 27,390).
The MG ZS EV offers
a 262-km driving range thanks to a 44.5-kWh water-cooled,
lithium-ion battery pack that can be replenished to 80 percent in about 30
minutes using a fast charger. The electric crossover is powered by a
front-mounted electric motor delivering 141 HP and 353 Nm of torque.
Standard
specification for the base ZS EV Excite includes 17-inch alloys, an eight-inch
infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth and DAB
radio, as well as the MG Pilot safety suite that bundles driver aids such as
Advanced Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist and Adaptive
Cruise Control.
