MG reveals its first EV

MG Motor has revealed the marque’s first pure electric vehicle, the MG EZS.

Unveiled at Auto Guangzhou 2018, November 16-19, the MG EZS is an all-electric evolution of the marque’s compact SUV, the MG ZS, and comes with a 428km cruising range, with 100km of electricity consumption using just 13.8kW of power.

“We’re inspired to see the continued innovation emerging from the global SAIC technical centre of excellence in Shanghai,” MG Motor Australia marketing director Danny Lenartic says. “Having launched the ZS in Australia with two engine options and to wide acclaim by our customers, MG Motor Australia will continue to evaluate the local market demand for the fully electric version of the ZS. The MG ZS model line-up is performing very well from a sales point of view locally and has been vital in helping us exceed our sales targets in 2018 to date.”

The MG EZS is expected to arrive in China and Europe in 2019.

Availability in Australia has yet to be confirmed.
