MG ZS EV vs Skoda Superb [2016-2020]

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.

The previous generation Skoda Superb which was launched in 2009 in India was a big hit. Not only it felt luxurious but thanks to its humongous size it had enough knee room to embarrass many ultra-lavish limousines. Although it had every attribute to make it a phenomenal sedan, one thing it lacked was premium exterior. Its odd proportions made it look like purpose over finesse. The stretched profile, stubby boot and tiny wheels didn’t cut with some people who were paying more than Rs 20 lakh for their luxury sedan.

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.
