Max Power: 176.75 PS (130 kW)
The MG ZS EV is powered by a high-efficiency Front-Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. In its most popular 50.3 kWh configuration, it generates a robust 176.75 PS. This motor is part of MG’s advanced electric drivetrain that prioritizes linear power delivery and silent operation. The thermal management system is particularly advanced, using a liquid-cooling circuit to ensure the motor operates within its peak efficiency band even under heavy load or high-speed cruising.
Max Torque: 280 Nm
Delivering 280 Nm of instantaneous torque, the ZS EV offers one of the strongest "off-the-line" experiences in the mid-size electric SUV segment. This torque allows the vehicle to overcome the inertia of its 1,600 kg kerb weight effortlessly. Drivers can modulate this performance through three KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) levels, which determine the intensity of the regenerative braking when the accelerator is released.
0-100 km/h: 8.5 Seconds
The MG ZS EV clocks a 0-100 km/h sprint in approximately 8.5 seconds. While its initial 0-50 km/h surge is remarkably aggressive ideal for urban darting the power delivery remains sustained through the mid-range. This performance profile is specifically tuned to rival premium European electric hatchbacks in terms of refinement and urgency.
Top Speed: 175 km/h
Unlike many competitors that cap speeds lower for efficiency, the ZS EV allows for a higher top speed of 175 km/h. This makes it more suitable for international motorways. The stability at these speeds is aided by the R17 "Tomahawk" alloy wheels and a low-slung battery placement that improves the aerodynamic drag coefficient.
