MG cuts ZS EV entry price to £27,495 with new Standard Range model

By / 2 years ago / UK News / No Comments

MG has expanded its ZS EV line-up with a new Standard Range model that cuts pricing for the range.

The new Standard Range MG ZS EV is in showrooms now, priced from £27,495 (incl. PiCG)

In showrooms now, it’s priced at £27,495 (incl. PiCG) – £2k cheaper than the lead-in Long Range version – and expected to find favour with customers looking for an enhanced value option, while still benefiting from a 198-mile range.

Standard Range versions are available in the same newly introduced trim levels as the Long Range cars: SE, Trophy and Trophy Connect.

Standard Range versions feature a 51.1kWh battery, 6.6kWh larger than the 44.5kWh pack in the pre-facelift version, and enabling a 35-mile uplift in range to 198 miles. Using a 100kW rapid charger, Standard Range versions can be charged from 10% to 80% in  36 minutes.

They also use the same motor as Long Range versions, but due to the different operating voltage of the different battery sizes, Standard Range versions have a higher equivalent power output of 176hp compared to 156hp for the Long Range.

MG Motor UK commercial director Guy Pigounakis said: “MG is already the go-to choice for customers looking to buy a great quality, well-equipped and terrific value electric cars, but the new Standard Range ZS EV takes that offering to new levels.

“The Plug-in Car Grant may have been reduced, but MG’s commitment to delivering great value, world-class EVs certainly hasn’t – the ZS EV offers unrivalled specification, range and performance for the money.”

First deliveries of Standard Range cars are due to arrive in the UK this month.
