MG Motor India has officially launched the next-gen ZS EV in the Indian car market with a Rs 21.99 lakh price tag. The first-gen ZS EV was introduced in 2020 as the first electric car by the brand in our country. The manufacturer has made a plethora of changes to the appearance of the car. However, the overall profile remains the same. It is available in two variants: "Excite" and "Exclusive," with the latter currently available in showrooms, while the Excite will be available in July of this year.

Speaking of the exterior design of the new ZS EV, the front fascia boasts a fenced grille rather than a deep sunken layout, while the charging port is moved to the left side of the MG logo. The front bumper has been given a sharper look and a broader central air dam with vertical intakes on both sides.
The 2022 MG ZS EV rides on a set of redesigned 17-inch alloy wheels, and the rear end gets a new taillight design as well as a revamped bumper. The London-eye projector headlamps with LED DRLs, roof rails, ORVMs with side indicators, and rear spoiler are retained from the previous-gen model.
