Besides an electric powertrain option, MG ZS may also get a 1.5-litre petrol and 1.0-litre petrol-electric engine options in India.

MG Motor India entered the Indian market earlier this year with the Hector and has already confirmed its second model for India, the MG ZS EV. While the all-electric SUV will be MG's first EV for India, now official documents have revealed that the ZS may also be offered in standard petrol and petrol-hybrid forms.

As per a Transport Department circular, MG has received type approval for a petrol and hybrid model of the ZS, alongside the upcoming EV. The petrol unit is a 1.5-litre motor developing 106hp while the hybrid model is powered by a 111hp, 1.0-litre petrol-electric combination.

MG offers the same pair of motors in the ZS in international markets, with the 1.5-litre unit featuring natural aspiration while the 1.0-litre features turbocharging and direct injection technology.

In addition, the specifications mentioned on the document confirm that this is the pre-facelift MG ZS, and not the recently revealed facelift.

According to a Transport Department document, MG has imported the petrol and hybrid variants of the ZS in India. This suggests that the carmaker might offer these powertrain options in addition to an all-electric variant in India.



The MG ZS measures 4,314 mm in length, 1,809 mm in width, 1,620 in height and has a wheelbase of 2,580-2,589 mm. It is likely to get a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 105 BHP @ 6,000 rpm, while the hybrid variant could use a 1.0-litre petrol engine with 110 BHP @ 5,200 rpm.

The electric version of the ZS is expected to be launched in December 2019. It is likely to be powered by a 52.5 kWh lithium-ion battery offering a claimed range of 350-400 km on a single charge.

When I spoke Rajeev Chaba today, he discounted the possibility of manufacturing these variants. The main focus is on the eZS only.
