MG Motor India's first EV and India's first 'pure electric internet SUV' since 23 January 2020, assembled at Halol. One generation in India, two bodies on the map: the original 23 January 2020 look (open hexagonal grille, charging port behind the MG badge, 44.5 kWh / 143 hp / 353 Nm / 340 km ARAI) and the current 7 March 2022 facelift (closed EV grille, slimmer LEDs, 50.3 kWh / 461 km, 176 PS). ICE sibling is the Astor, not this sales row. BaaS and 100-Year Edition are commercial/cosmetic packs, not a facelift. Global second-gen ZS (August 2024 ICE) is not sold in India; India replacement around 2027. No official India SIAM ZS EV recall as of 19 August 2026. India launch: 23 January 2020 (facelift 7 March 2022).
