Most Helpful Review

One of the best car

Great road presence. It has a good interior and is best for city driving, The engine is also good, love the car, good for the family, it looks innovative car from the future, the best innovative car from Mahindra to date.

1st maintenance at 10k km costed me 30k

First service costs whopping 30000, because you need to replace the break shoe after every 10000 kms and the cost it including GST is approx. 20000. If you have BMW, that won't give such heavy maintenance. At least BMW is big brand a luxury one you could pay that much for one service. I drive the car 10340 kms, I am a normal, carefull driver experienced driver for than 20 years. I have drive 90% in the city 10% out of station. AC filters get blocked always because of the dust in India. Truly it's not made for India

Do not buy MG ZS EV

Company says leather seat in exclusive but it's low quality of seat, even audio quality is very bad , company claim with 98% charge 430 km but actually it not more than 250km, you feel like cheated after paying 25lac it's not worth even 15lac . I strongly say don't buy.
