The MG ZS EV facelift has been revealed in Europe. ZS EV is one of the two most popular EVS (electric cars) in India. The Indian EV market is dominated by Tata Nexon EV which enjoys a massive over 60% market share and the distance second is the MG ZS EV. There are no other prominent EVs in the country who could challenge these two. The EV trend is still at a nascent stage in our market but the development in this field is happening rapidly. The infrastructure is being developed at a brisk pace with a ton of government subsidies to promote the adoption of EVs for personal use. Europe is already quite ahead with the EVs and hence, has received the facelift of the MG ZS EV already. Here are the things we know about the EV SUV.

MG ZS EV Facelift
The front end of the EV SUV has been updated ever so slightly. From the overall appearance, one can easily tell that it is an EV. The bonnet of the SUV is sculpted and flared on the sides, the LED DRLs look similar to the outgoing model, the front grille is not to be seen as it is an EV and doesn’t require air intake, the bumper is completely redesigned and feature sharp creases, the front skid plate and bumper are unique too. Moving to the sides, there are chunky wheel arches, stylish alloy wheels, side skirting, sharp creases on the door panels, shark fin antenna, blacked-out A, B and C-pillar with a chrome belt running underneath. There are also roof-rails that look practical. The rear looks almost similar to the recently launched MG Astor in India because the Indian model is based on the last-gen MG ZS EV in Europe.
