Life has seemingly come full circle for the MG ZS EV, from introducing India to the ZS face, which we then saw the facelifted version of in the IC-engined MG Astor, before those sweeping changes made their way back to the ZS EV in 2022. As part of it, we get the updated ZS face, with a blacked-out grille that helps the ZS EV stand out quite significantly, new aero design alloy wheels, the LED lighting from the Astor again, and essentially all the wow-inducing interior bits from the Astor, in the way of updated infotainment screens, digital driver display, panoramic sunroof, connected tech and more.
Importantly, though the 2022 MG ZS EV packs a larger 50.3kWh battery pack (up from 44.5kWh), more power (176PS up from 143PS), less torque (280Nm from 353Nm), and an ICATcertified range of 461km (up from 419km). We have of course reviewed the MG Astor before, so you know what we think of the interiors, comfort, tech, and headline-grabbing ADAS feature, so this review will be focused on how the changes to the electric powertrain on the MG ZS EV, expectedly, improve what this EV is like to live with.
