MG releases ZS EV pricing and details

THE EAGERLY AWAITED MG ZS EV will be launched in July this year.

The new ZS EV is set to consolidate MG Motor Australia and New Zealand’s position as a leader in the affordable new energy vehicle space.

A comprehensive styling makeover, a completely new interior treatment and a new, more efficient and better-performing powertrain are just some of the exciting new enhancements for Australia’s best-selling electric SUV, which will go on sale from $46,990 drive-away right across Australia.

Sharp pricing and high equipment levels will push demand

“Australian and New Zealand customers appreciate that the MG ZS EV is leading the way in affordable EV motoring,” said MG Motor Australia and New Zealand CEO Peter Ciao.

“We trust that our new ZS EV will grow that legacy.”

“It offers more technology at a price that will allow everyday Australians to switch to electric motoring without compromise.”

“It is the next step in MG Motor’s journey of making EV easy for everyone.”

However, limited supply will probably mean the ZS EV will sell out quickly

Two variants available at launch

Customers will be able to choose from two variants, with the new value-led Excite and the more luxurious Essence.

Both variants will feature an all-new, high-specification 51kWh high-voltage battery that provides up to 320km of range, an updated electric motor and enhanced battery management electronics.

Both will also feature a 7-inch Virtual Cluster dash, a brand new floating 10.1-inch infotainment screen and even more practical touches.

Fairly bland exterior styling

The exterior redesign is clean, stylish and modern, punctuated by 21-module LED auto-dimming headlights and nine-module LED taillights, milled 17-inch alloy rims and a unique grille-less front visage that conceals an updated Type 2 charging port.

MG Pilot will provide the new ZS EV with a complete set of active driver safety aids, including Intelligent High Beam Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Lane Keeping, Speed Assistance System and more.

More detail will be revealed closer to launch.

Pleasant interior (we’re guessing this is the Essence)

Backed by more than 80 dealerships across Australia

The new ZS EV will be backed by a national network MG Motor dealers and will be covered by MG’s 7-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, which also includes the high-voltage battery.

MG’s new award-winning ChargeHub wallbox, meanwhile, is the perfect accompaniment to the new ZS EV, enabling faster charging times for all EVs regardless of brand. Its Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) also guarantees a seamless charging experience for all users now and into the future.

$500 towards the cost of a home charger is welcome

Rebate for early orders

Prospective buyers should visit mgmotor.com.au to secure one of the first 500 vehicles, and $500 towards the cost of an MG ChargeHub.
