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

Sporty and classy

Amazing driving experience...Feels European. Very good quality materials. Solid switchgear inside. Pretty Responsive. Very comfortable. Glides over all the speed breakers and bumps and uneven patches. The driving seat is ergonomic. And the good thing is one doesn't feel uncomfortable in the back either. Servicing and maintenance:- Almost nil hardly 600-1000 per service Post-sale services are amazing since it has a dedicated service center adjacent to the showroom Pros:- Solid quality and amazing driving experience Cons:- Ground clearance should be more

MG ZS EV Long Term Review — The Long Run

By Ninad Ambre30 Dec 2022

Our long-term MG ZS has been put through its paces within the city for almost three months. I've been wanting to drive it out of the city limits but still not wanting to waste time charging it at an unknown place. After enough thought and a little planning into it, I set out to utilise its driving range to the maximum.

MG ZS EV Long Term Review — The Daily Grind

By Ninad Ambre30 Oct 2022

It's been a month of driving this MG ZS EV. The best thing is I got to terms with it within the first week of driving it. The biggest myth that got busted is 'Electrics are boring'. So we'll get to how interesting it is and if and how similar it is to conventional ICE vehicles. This month involved a lot of driving within the city and here's how the ZS fared.
