MG Cars unveils first ever all-electric SUV in Qatar

  • Stylish, compact SUV is first pure electric model from MG in the Middle East
  • The electric car is capable of travelling for 335km NEDC on a single battery charge

The MG ZS EV is the MG Motor’s first ever all-electric SUV available in Qatar. It is based on the popular Middle East seller, the MG ZS, and is the first such car from the British-born brand. 

The electric car is capable of travelling for 335km NEDC on a single battery charge and is equipped with fast charging which allows up to 80 percent of the battery to be re-charged in just 40 minutes.

Power is delivered by a single electric motor that drives the front wheels and delivers 148bhp and 350Nm of torque – accelerating it from 0 – 100 km/h in just 8.2 seconds. The ternary lithium battery is based on Intelligent Power Balance Management with a low pressure casting shell of warranty for 8 years/150,000km.

MG’s first pure electric SUV represents the ideal opportunity for environmentally aware buyers to take their place among the region’s motoring trailblazers and is already making waves in markets around the world.

MG ZS EV is distinguished with its luxurious, comfort and spacious interior with leather steering wheel with D-shaped flat bottom, in addition to soft touch, dash console material and premium finish. It is equipped with 360° turbo air vents that help air flows anywhere you want.

The ZS EV has a seatbelt reminder for the front and rear seats. A speed assistance system uses a camera to determine the local speed limit. This information is presented to the driver who can set the limiter to the appropriate speed. A lane support system helps to prevent inadvertent drifting out of lane. 

“With the new MG ZS EV, we want to encourage new car owners to join us on a bright and exciting journey into the future, built around a sustainable lifestyle,” Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said.  “We want to spread an important message about sustainability, emphasising that each one of us can really make a difference. This is why MG is launching its #StartSomewhere campaign, and why we are offering our first-ever 100% electric vehicle to customers”.
