One of the most hotly anticipated and heavily marketed Electric Vehicles (EVs) i.e. the MG ZS EV is finally on its way. As per a social media update from the automaker itself, the pre-qualifications for the bookings have also begun.
This seems to be a deliberated move from MG Pakistan, as we are just a few weeks away from the introduction of the 2021-22 budget as well as that of the EV policy for 4-wheeled vehicles. Although, despite the perks and incentives of the EV policy, the buying price for the upcoming E-SUV is fairly steep.

To recap, the ZS EV is MG’s sub-compact crossover electric SUV that made its debut in the international market in 2018. The ZS EV features a 44.5 kWh battery that powers an electric motor mounted over the front axle, which generates 140 horsepower and 350 Newton-meters of torque.
In the international market, the vehicle goes up against the likes of Hyundai Kona, Kia Stonic, Nissan Juke, Dacia Duster, and other similar sub-compact crossover SUVs. However, in Pakistan, the ZS EV is likely a first-of-its-kind EV in Pakistan, whereas its competitors are mostly hybrids or petrol-powered vehicles.
