MG ZS EV Achieves 10,000 Sales Milestone

MG Motor India launched the ZS EV back in January 2020 as a direct competitor to the Hyundai Kona Electric. While Hyundai launched the Kona and never brought any update for the electric crossover, MG Motor India launched an updated version of ZS EV in February 2021 with improved range and more features. Since the ZS EV was received well in the market, the carmaker launched the ZS EV facelift in March 2022 with a sleeker design, larger battery pack and a couple of new features.
