MG Motor India has slashed the price of its electric SUV, the ZS EV in India by up to Rs. 2.30 lakh. Prices for the MG ZS EV now begin at Rs. 22.88 lakh and will go up to Rs. 25.90 lakh (ex-showroom India). The SUV continues to be offered in three variants – Excite, Exclusive and Exclusive Pro. While the standard car gets a dark grey interior, customers also have the option to go for the dual-tone Iconic Ivory interior for an additional premium of Rs. 10,000. This effectively takes the top-end price of the electric SUV to Rs. 26 lakh (ex-showroom).
| Variant | Ex-showroom price | Exclusive Iconic Ivory Price |
| Excite | Rs. 22,88,000 | NA |
| Exclusive | Rs. 24,99,800 | Rs. 25,09,800 |
| Exclusive Pro | Rs. 25,89,800 | Rs. 25,99,800 |
As for variant-wise pricing difference, the MG ZS EV Excite trim is now Rs. 50,000 less expensive than before, while the mid-spec Exclusive trim is Rs. 2.30 lakh cheaper now. At the same time, the top-end Exclusive Pro variant is around Rs. 2 lakh more affordable now. Interestingly, this could be the impact of the new Tata Nexon EV, which has upped the ante for the compact EV space by offering some best-in-segment features at an attractive price point.
