First 50 MG electrics sell out in NZ

The first 50 of the all-electric MG ZS EV have sold at the special price of $49,990.

That demand has prompted MG Motor New Zealand to extend its pre-sale period with a new price of $50,100 plus on-road costs for the next 100 vehicles sold.

“We are delighted to offer our Kiwi customers more choice and affordability with our new MG ZS EV, and it’s exciting to see such strong interest in the MG ZS EV after only two months of pre-sale,” MG Motor New Zealand business manager Anthony MacLean says.

“As we herald a new era of electric motoring in New Zealand, we’re making a commitment to ensuring it’s a smooth transition for all with our affordable and practical EV model. We’re undertaking extensive research and planning into the model’s compatibility with New Zealand’s electric vehicle infrastructure, and the model is set to make the most of NZ’s extensive DC rapid charging network.”

The new EV arrives mid-2020, backed by a seven-year/130,000km new vehicle and battery warranty.

Launch pricing will be announced around that time.

The MG ZS EV is a family-friendly electric car, designed for those who want all the advantages of a zero-emissions vehicle without compromising on practicality or style, MG Motor New Zealand says.

Registration for the next 100 MG ZS EV vehicles is available through MG Motor’s official dealer network, as well as online via mgmotor.co.nz/models/mg-zsev.
