MG ZS EV vs Nissan Teana [2007-2014]

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.

Nissan has been successful with its cars worldwide but the company hasn’t quite been that successful in the Indian market as yet. This Japanese manufacturer is now quite serious, what with the iconic 370Z to the Micra and hopes to bite into a sizeable portion of the Indian car market. Nissan along with Renault, has made some large investments in their Indian manufacturing plant based just outside of Chennai and will soon launch its most important car for the company in India – the Nissan Micra. The newer updated Teana and the X-Trail were launched last year and now with the 370Z and the GT-R (given to Narain Karthikeyan), Nissan sure is kicking up a lot of dust!

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.
