MG Motor has announced prices for its second model for India, the all-electric ZS EV, which is priced from Rs 20.88 lakh; prices top off at Rs 23.58 lakh (ex-showroom). Interestingly, MG has announced that those customers who had booked the ZS EV before midnight on January 17 will be able to get a special discounted price that is exactly Rs 1 lakh less.

While MG does have expansion plans, for now, the ZS EV, is available in just five cities, Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. There’s two variants to choose from – Excite and Exclusive – that are differentiated by the level of kit, and of course, their prices. Read on to see what you get in each variant:

The MG ZS EV comes with a 143hp/353Nm electric motor that draws power from a 44.5kWh, liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery, giving it a claimed range of 340km. The eSUV will charge from 0-80 percent battery capacity within 50min via a 50kW DC fast charger, while a 7.4kW AC home charger, which MG will setup at owners’ homes or offices, will take around 6-8 hours for a full charge.

The ZS EV is part of a rapidly growing number of all-electric vehicles that have arrived or will soon come to the Indian market. The eSUV is a direct rival to the Hyundai Kona Electric – priced between Rs 23.72-23.91 lakh (ex-showroom) – that had launched last year and may also rival the upcoming Tata Nexon EV.
