MG ZS EV vs Hyundai Santa Fe [2011-2014]

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.

After a successful stint in the small car and premium hatch market in India, Hyundai came out with its Crossover SUV, the Santa Fe recently. Our first impressions about the car gave you a fair idea as to what the car is capable of and what it lacks. The Santa Fe makes for a great urban SUV and comes in both 2WD as well as 4WD variants. Hyundai plays it safe and leaves it upon the buyers to choose from both the variants. We drove the 4WD version and found out how different this car was from the others in the segment.

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.
