MG goes Electric!

In case you missed it, MG Motor UK is set to launch its very first battery electric vehicle in the UK this autumn with the arrival of the MG ZS electric SUV.

Last month, MG opened the order bank and released further details about its first-ever fully electric car that was unveiled at the London Motor Show at London’s ExCel. The ZS EV is a family friendly electric car focusing on space and practicality and billed as the most high-tech MG yet.

Since it was first announced in March, MG has received more than 800 expressions of interest for its forthcoming new model, which is the most for any pre-launched model in the company’s history. Reservations for the ZS EV are now being accepted and you can place a £500 deposit on the MG website (fully-refundable in the event that you do not complete your purchase).

Daniel Gregorious, Head of Sales & Marketing at MG Motor UK, says: "The arrival of the MG ZS EV represents the start of MG’s long-term brand and product expansion plan and we’re delighted to be able to share it with the British public for the first time. ZS EV adds a new dimension to the car market by offering high-tech zero-emissions transport to a broader cross-section of buyers.

"The initial interest in ZS EV is extremely encouraging and confirms that car buyers are looking for a practical, versatile and stylish electric vehicle. It will also be the most high-tech MG yet. We’ve now opened the orderbank exclusively for visitors to the London Motor Show. Interested buyers can place a holding deposit on the stand to reserve their place on the waiting list. As visitors will see, this new MG bears all the key hallmarks customers know and love about ZS in terms of flexibility, space and generous standard specification, but it just so happens to be a fully electric SUV."

pluginsure will shortly be announcing rates for the MG ZS EV in anticipation of its launch in the autumn.
