MG Motor India has launched the facelifted 2022 MG ZS EV in India. Prices for the electric SUV start from Rs 22 lakh for the base variant, although deliveries for this Excite variant begin in July 2022.

The LED headlamps are similar to the petrol-powered SUV but the front grille section has now been blanked out, housing only the charging port. The bumpers have also been revised with a large two-part air dam that houses the ADAS sensor and sharp cuts to the edges. There are new 17-inch alloy wheels while at the rear there are the new-look segmented LED taillamps and a more aerodynamic bumper design like in the front.
