India’s electric car segment is rapidly evolving, and MG Motor has stepped in with one of the most practical and premium electric offerings to date. The new MG ZS EV 2025 Long Range model has been launched with significant upgrades that make it one of the most feature-loaded, long-distance electric SUVs under ₹20 lakh.
With improved battery capacity, updated design, advanced safety features, and smooth driving performance, the ZS EV Long Range is built to suit modern Indian families who want more than just daily city commuting — they want performance, range, and comfort in one package.
Let’s take a closer look at why the MG ZS EV 2025 Long Range is being called one of the most complete electric vehicles in India right now.
Modern, Urban-Friendly Styling with Futuristic Design
The new ZS EV looks bolder than ever before. It has been designed to offer a clean, aerodynamic silhouette with premium SUV touches. The signature blanked-off front grille, new LED headlamps with boomerang-shaped DRLs, and a redesigned bumper with sharper lines give it a more aggressive and futuristic appearance.
From the sides, the 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome window surrounds, and roof rails give it a sporty look. The rear features connected LED tail-lamps and a clean tailgate design with a larger MG logo.
The ZS EV doesn’t try to look too flashy but still manages to turn heads on the road — especially with new dual-tone color options now available for the Long Range variant.
Bigger Battery for a Bigger Range
The biggest upgrade in this version is the 50.3kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which gives the ZS EV a certified range of up to 461 km on a single charge. This puts it well above most EVs in its price bracket, making it ideal for highway trips, long commutes, and daily errands without frequent recharging.
The battery supports fast charging as well. With a DC fast charger (50kW), the battery can go from 0% to 80% in just 60 minutes, and using a home 7.4kW wall box charger, it charges fully in around 9 hours overnight.
This flexibility gives users the convenience to charge their car based on their lifestyle, whether at home or on the go.
Smooth Driving with Instant Power
Under the hood, the ZS EV Long Range is powered by a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor that produces 174 bhp and 280 Nm of torque. The power delivery is instant, thanks to the nature of electric motors, and the acceleration feels surprisingly quick for an SUV of this size.
Whether you’re overtaking on highways or crawling through city traffic, the ZS EV responds with clean, vibration-free power and buttery-smooth torque.
The drive feels solid and planted, thanks to disc brakes on all four wheels, well-tuned suspension, and the battery’s low placement, which improves center of gravity and cornering balance.
Luxurious Interior Designed for Modern Comfort
Inside, the MG ZS EV feels like a proper premium SUV. The cabin uses soft-touch materials on the dashboard, leatherette seats with contrast stitching, and a dual-tone black and ivory theme that enhances its upscale appeal.
The highlight of the interior is the 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, paired with a 7-inch digital driver’s display that shows real-time range, driving mode, battery level, and more.
The SUV also comes with:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Rear AC vents
- Wireless charging pad
- Front and rear USB ports
- Powered driver seat adjustment
- 360-degree camera with AI-based guidance
The rear seat comfort is also great for a family of 4–5 people, with enough legroom, headroom, and under-thigh support even for tall passengers.
Safety That Builds Trust
The MG ZS EV 2025 Long Range model comes with a robust safety package across all variants. It includes:
- 6 airbags (front, side, curtain)
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill-start assist and hill descent control
- ABS with EBD
- Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
- Blind spot detection
- Lane change assist
- Rear cross traffic alert
These features make the ZS EV not just a city-friendly SUV, but also a safe choice for highway cruising and family outings.
Performance That Meets Practicality
Despite being an electric car, the ZS EV doesn’t compromise on utility. The boot space is 470 litres, which is enough for weekend luggage, shopping bags, or groceries. The flat floor adds extra storage, and the rear seats fold in a 60:40 split for extra space when needed.
The ground clearance is also decent at 177mm, making it suitable for Indian roads, speed breakers, and rural areas where the surface isn’t always smooth.
MG has tuned the suspension for Indian conditions, ensuring a balanced ride over potholes, broken patches, and uneven tarmac.
Running Cost and Maintenance
One of the strongest selling points of the ZS EV is its low running cost. With electricity prices being cheaper than petrol or diesel, the ZS EV costs just ₹1–₹1.5/km to run, depending on your electricity tariff.
There are no oil changes, no clutch plates, and fewer moving parts, which means lower servicing costs compared to ICE cars. MG also offers a 5-year warranty and 8-year battery warranty, making the ownership experience stress-free and economical in the long run.
Expected Price and EMI Breakdown
The new MG ZS EV Long Range is priced starting from ₹18.98 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Excite variant and goes up to ₹23 lakh for the top-spec Exclusive Pro variant.
Here’s an estimated EMI structure:
| Variant | On-Road Price | Down Payment | EMI (60 months) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excite | ₹20.5 lakh | ₹2.5 lakh | ₹33,500/month |
| Exclusive Pro | ₹24.5 lakh | ₹3 lakh | ₹40,500/month |
This makes it a great pick for buyers shifting from petrol SUVs like Creta, Seltos, or even those upgrading from Nexon EV.
Final Verdict: A Complete Urban Electric SUV
The MG ZS EV 2025 Long Range offers everything today’s buyers are looking for — long range, modern features, stylish looks, powerful performance, and a premium feel inside and out. It’s built for families, professionals, and even young EV enthusiasts who want a no-compromise electric SUV.
With its pricing, charging convenience, and real-world usability, the ZS EV Long Range is one of the most practical and reliable electric cars you can buy in India right now.
If you’re looking to make the switch to electric without sacrificing comfort, features, or performance, this SUV is definitely worth considering.
