MG has updated the ZS EV with refreshed styling, a new infotainment system and a long-range battery option.
The facelifted Long Range model is on sale now, priced from £30,940 (P11d).
A new front bumper separates the electric ZS from its petrol-powered counterpart by removing the conventional grille and making the charge port more visible.
Long Range versions make use of a new 72kWh battery pack, which can deliver a 273-mile range.
Standard range ZS EVs are equipped with a 51kWh battery (up from 41.5kWh), giving a range of 198 miles.
The combination Type 2 and CCS charger provides up to 7kW fast charging using the on-board AC charger, or up to 76kW DC rapid charging. This means the Long Range battery can be charged from 0-100% in as little as 42 minutes.
The entry level ZS EV SE, priced at £28,495 (after PiCG) on-the-road, comes with automatic air conditioning, LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry, vehicle-to-load charging, 360-degree parking camera, a 10.1-inch touchscreen with sat nav, and multiple USB charging points.
The Trophy model, priced at £30,995 (after PiCG), adds a panoramic ‘Sky Roof’ and leather-style seats, along with roof rails, heated front seats, electric driver’s seat adjustment, rain-sensing wipers and wireless phone charging.
Range-topping Trophy Connect adds iSMART with live services (weather, traffic and Amazon Prime). It is priced at £31,495 after PiCG.
All New ZS EVs feature MG’s suite of driver assistance technology – MG Pilot which includes Active Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning System, Traffic Jam Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist and Intelligent High Beam Assist.
Trophy and Trophy Connect models also get Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist.
