MG Motor India has launched the first electric vehicle in India named as MG ES EV. This vehicle is directly unveiled from the company’s stable, and it is certainly a very bold move by the brand. MG ES EV is the second offering from MG Motor, India. It is an all-electric SUV that comes to India with the same specifications as the one sold in the UK. However, the company is assembling the electric car at its Halol plant in Gujarat. This electric vehicle will be priced aggressively and, it will compete with the Hyundai Kona when prices are announced in January 2020.
About the Exterior Design of MG ZS Electric SUV:
- It is a compact SUV and the dimensions tell more about the compactness of the car.
- The car is longer than the Hyundai Creta, but it is smaller than the MG Hector. It is 4314mm long, 1809 mm wide and 1620mm tall with the wheelbase of 2579mm that provide a decent space at the rear end.
- If only the looks are concerned than this vehicle is more of a crossover than an SUV.
- It sports a wide chrome stud grille flanked by projector headlamps.
- The rear part of the vehicle is equipped with LED taillamps just below the raked windscreen and the license plate area has been moved down to the bumper, so the rear does look a bit understated, though it looks good on the car and goes well with the overall proportions.
