This isn’t an EV from the ground up, but it still delivers—at least in a very narrow niche.
. SAIC Motors , the current owner of MG, relaunched the MG brand a few years ago and has expanded to several markets around the world. The result has been remarkable. In Mexico, where the automaker launched three years ago, MG Motors is already one of the top 10 brands and has carved out a market share over 4 percent, surpassing established players like Hyundai and Ford.
On-paper impressions are one thing, though, and while the ZS EV doesn't look that attractive in abstract, once we got behind the wheel, we saw a case for this practical SUV. It doesn't try to compete with other big-name EVs but rather offers customers an alternative powertrain to its most popular model in Mexico and at a reasonable price.
Like most EVs these days, the MG ZS EV has three drive modes—Normal, Sport, and Eco. Naturally, Sport is our preferred mode, but climbing the surrounding mountains of Mexico City , we switched to Eco mode. It's a shame because Eco mode limits the power significantly, though the reward in range is noticeable.
Its technology is relatively basic. While the ZS EV comes with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, there isn't anything that stands out from the competition—there are soft and hard buttons for the HVAC, and the home display shows the current battery state. We like its digital instrument cluster, which is standard for the EV version of the ZS, but there isn't anything revolutionizing in terms of technology.
