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.

This thing is really good but I find it difficult to rely on MG due to the Hector. Well, it's not fair to take a decision though. I think this is over priced. And when I am getting all those under 20lakhs on road from the Nexon, then why one would go for the MG! Moreover, MG has indeed done a good job but has put the car on a non negotiable price range.

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.
