Strong result for MG ZS EV

Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

MG has sold out of its pre-launch offer to the first 500 people for the fully electric new ZS EV model before the car has officially gone on sale.

“More and more people want to switch over to EV and MG Motor Australia is helping people to make that leap with the evolution of the ZS EV which has already been strongly embraced by customers,” says MG Motor Australia and New Zealand chief executive Peter Ciao.

Under the recent presale offer, the first 500 customers who placed a deposit were eligible for a $500 discount toward their MG ChargeHub.

The new MG ZS EV is now split in two trim levels – Excite and Essence.

The EV starts from $46,990 drive-away nationwide, with up to 320km of range, a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen, and an easier-to-access front charging port with seven-year warranty.

The new ZS EV will also debut its ‘iSmart’ smartphone app for remote functionality like monitoring the charge status, preconditioning the cabin’s climate control, locating the vehicle and more.

Additionally, the new ZS EV comes with a 50.3kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery that is both nickel and cobalt free.

On the centre console, there’s a circular dial to toggle and switch between drive, reverse and neutral — all finished in brushed metal.

Those interested in a ZS EV can still place an order with their nearest dealer, although they will no longer qualify for the $500 rebate on the MG ChargeHub.
