MG reveals eZS electric SUV ahead of India launch

MG (Morris Garages) has unveiled its global pure electric SUV – the MG eZS – scheduled for launch across international markets soon. To be introduced in India by December 2019, MG eZS will be one of the first global pure electric SUVs in the country. Subsequently, it will be launched in other markets like the UK, Germany, Australia, Thailand and the Middle East.

“With a modern design and advanced technology, the MG eZS will herald a new chapter in environment-friendly solutions in India. While the petrol version of the MG ZS had already become a popular choice globally, we are confident that its zero-emissions electric equivalent will bring accessible electric motoring to the customers in India upon its launch by the end of this year,” said Rajeev Chaba, president and MD, MG Motor India.

“We hope by the time we launch the vehicle, the government would have announced the much-needed subsidies and incentives for the EVs under the recently announced FAME II scheme so that people are encouraged to buy eco-friendly mobility solutions. More details about the specifications and features of the eZS will be announced at a later stage,” added Chaba.

With a country-wide network of 120 sales and service outlets across India, MG aims to ensure a seamless ownership experience for its Indian customers. In addition, the carmaker will take appropriate measures to educate the Indian audiences around EV driving range anxiety and charging infrastructure. The eZS will also house the carmaker’s iSMART Next-Gen, which will debut in India starting with the MG Hector SUV which will go on sale in June this year.
