MG Motor India have launched the 2022 ZS EV facelift. The all-electric ZS EV is available in two variants — Excite at Rs. 22.0 lakh and Exclusive at Rs. 25.88 lakh (ex-showroom). MG announced that the deliveries of the Excite variant will begin from July 2022 whereas the Exclusive is readily available for deliveries. The ZS EV facelift packs in a bigger 50.3kWh battery pack and offers a driving range of 461km on a single charge which is 42km more than the earlier claimed range of 419km.

The MG ZS EV facelift gets a closed-off grille finished in body colour with a textured pattern. The previous version had a more conventional grille at the front. The side profile remains the same but gets a new design for the 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, which seem to be more aerodynamic than before. The LED headlights, DRLs and tail lights are all new and identical to the MG Astor.

Unlike the Astor, the ZS EV facelift doesn’t get ADAS built-in. Hence, it lacks some features like adaptive cruise control and auto emergency braking. However, it does offer some features like rear cross-traffic alerts and lane change assist. MG continue to offer the ZS EV with 5 year RSA (Road-side Assistance), 5 labour-free services and a 5-year unlimited km warranty. For the battery pack and motor, MG offer 8 years or 1,50,000 km warranty. The new ZS EV will take on the likes of the upcoming Hyundai Kona EV facelift and Tata Nexon EV Long Range.
