Which one would you pick between the MG ZS EV and the Hyundai Kona Electric as a daily driver?

2:45 thank me later

After watching lot of CarWow drag races, I just love how the race you conducted eliminated all biases. Love it.

Everyone has talked about the difference when it comes to saving on fuel. But we also save on engine oil when we go for every service of an EV

Both Cars are Much Expensive for Indian Market, Govt should promote EV's by offering 0% Road Tax & RTO Charges, 50% off on EV Car Insurance

MG ZS EV looks so good comparatively, even it features also better than Kona

You should have included our very own Indian EV Tata Nexon too

Yes electric.. That instant acceleration makes me crazy to try out

The UK model of the MG eZS doesn't have the side stickers saying electric, it's quite subtle. SAIC, who bought the brand, closed down the remaining MG engineering operations in the UK, so there's nothing left of the original MG company in the MG brand.

The second generation of these electric cars are gonna be lit i am expecting that by 2023, at that point they gonna outsell premium petrol cars of that segment

where is nexon ev?

If you were drag racing, shouldn't have been a proper quarter or half mile drag instead of only the 0-100??

I think the electric would win by 0.5 to 1 car length. Hope I am close atleast to actual figures

12:24 *Drag race with the BMW pollution car was really humiliating for petrol heads* ... hahaha...

Why didn't you include the Nexon EV?

TRY NEXON EV AS WELL, IT'S STUNNING

i am going to buy MG ZS EV

Proud ZS ev owner...absolutely loving it

MG ZS EV one of the best EV ...iski hyundai kona se koi comparison hi nahi.

Great video, positive attitude - Well done EVO India! 👍for the drag races, you could try the Kona 64 also. The MG is a big surprise here.

Fantastic video! EVO India is easily the most entertaining video channel on the Indian automotive scene. And Sirish, much kudos to you and the team!!

Electric car for win 👍 guy prefer Hyundai kona electric instead of Chinese mg. that is if you are buying now.

I would like to know what will happen if, I have fully charged my car but have parked it for next 7 days will the charge remain the same, will it affect the battery???

Sirish sir, you are a one of a kind motor journalist of our country. In depth knowledge and hands on exposure make you cool sir.

I didn't expect it would beat petrol tsi

This type of drag races I wanted for so long❤️❤️

Chinese MG zs. No thank you Give me indian Nexon instead Also note : kona using higher efficiency tires which works out better for performance in long range. But provides less traction on acceleration

Simply amazing video team Evo...Love your style and the way you put out the information...

Nexon EV is the better value for money🔥❤️

Auto youtubers have been continued their support to MG even after heavy criticism and a people support to boycott chinese goods.. i find this fact upsetting and disrespectful to Indian emotions..

What about nexon electric

Instant torque makes me love both of them 😍😍

You did not mention that this is the lower HP Kona. The premium model has over 200HP and the result would have likely been quite different.

Am a Tata Nexon EV owner. Have driven this car 5000+ KMs till now with more of highway driving. Am sharing my experience with EV. Mileage to be considered for Tata Nexon EV is only 150 KMs with AC on and drive freely like petrol cars, it is nowhere near 312 KMs as claimed by Tata. On drive mode, I get 190 KMs on limiting my speed to 70-80 KMs/hr. with AC on, only driver (no load) on highway. Forget about the sport mode, have never dared to test it! Battery onboard AC to DC charging module is to accept only 3.7kW, Hyundai Kona has 7.4kW. Charging time reduces by half and company can go upto 11kW charging easily without much additional cost. A Tata representative have been appointed to all Tata dealers to promote EVs. Sadly not the one expected from Tata, this guy also went on assuring of getting a minimum of 240 KMs. on highway with AC on and full load. Difference between the real world and ARAI standards mileage should be considered to 50% of what ARAI standards give to EVs! Nexon EV has been given only a single parking brakes option (hand brakes), and not 2-3 braking options like in petrol car. I feel this is a major safety compromise made by Tata. On putting off car, it automatically switches to neutral mode making it necessary you apply parking brakes else, the car might move! Nexon doesn't have a "hill lock" function, on gradients you have to be very careful, as you release brakes car starts moving backwards! On comfort levels car is good. There are minor issues which I am sure will get corrected in next service. Tata dealers suck. I bought car from Puneet motors, Malad, Mumbai. This dealer didn't give a test drive inspite of umpteen requests made; went all out to get full advance from me while the car was yet in Tata Motors, Pune. Activated my car sim afyer about 45 days of buying the car! Forget about many small issues like no signed copy of invoice, chassis no. on fasTag, 5 no. alloy wheels mentioned in invoice whereby you get only 4... I have been to lots of harrassment by this dealer right from I purchased this car. Tata doesn't seem to have control on their dealers. If we compare with Mercedes who have launched an EV recently with a battery pack of 80kW, claiming only 240+ KMs. on full battery. Tata Nexon has only 30kW battery! Tata should go the German way. After all this is the impression we all have for Tata, an "honest" company. They make Mercedes Benz for India! By what I have learnt from my first EV, my next EV would be: 1) 1000 KMs mileage claimed by company (so that I can get atleast 450-500 KMs. "Drive like petrol cars" mileage; 2) 0-100 KMs/hr. in about 7 sec. in normal drive (Nexon gives 9.9 in sports mode, drive mode is super boring); 3) 11kW onboard AC charging capability module, 3.7kW in Nexon takes whole 10 hrs. to charge!; 4) OTA software updates, why should I visit service center just for an update?

MG ZSEV is easy to drive and electronic car superb car loved it. While going to trip its awesome and features also superb ready to drive always I had a ride from Bangalore to mysuru, its superb vehicle love to drive anywhere anytime everywhere. It has awesome interior and exterior, nice steering and seats.

If you look at the price and the mileage coast.....and the battery services(or replacement) electric still cheaper ..but..not much in the end....

Why is there a front grill on the MG ZS full electric car?

Good review and race. Will pick #HyundaiKona. As it is more reliable and looks apart from the rest. #MGZSEV is also best in the segment vehicle, no doubt.

EV's are getting quick by the day...though superb could have been faster however the DSG launch played spoilt sport.

Evo team, yet again - A nice and crisp video!

I am here for the zs ev..🥰😍😘☺

Sirish it is time you did a collab with Bert & co and we get to see you all go overdrive one more time..

Common please stop using "couple of years" in place of few years. Couple means 2, Iam just amazed how many renowned channels/persons use it otherwise.

Turbo petrol sure

iprayed for this day to come.

Because you spent time and actually lived with an Electric car, you have began appreciating the advantages, the no need to go to a petrol station to fuel, the comfort, the lack of vibration, lack of noise, smoothness and of course the instant acceleration and performance. The so called disadvantage of Range anxiety is only in the head of people who haven't really lived with an EV. Every study shows that the range anxiety goes away once an user starts using an EV.

Brilliant video

ZS EV is better than the Hyundai Kona in all aspects.

One of the other things I'm worried about electric cars in the future is the presence of subscription plans. I really hope manufacturers won't offer power and range-limiting subscription plans like how Ather does for its 450X scooter.

Good comparo... MG looks more sophisticated and overall winner. Both are at almost equal pricing range though.

Iam exited to read your automobile magazine plzz give me one

Kona vs tata nexon ev drag

What's the age of _ev_ in *Delhi* ?

Nice to see you Shirish after ages , last we met in a event at Jodhpur somewhere in September 2010 .

Tata nexon ev ke sath bhi kijiye

Thats the kind of guy that measures yeast as 1/10th to the gram 😂

What about the Nexon EV? Do a full review of the Nexon EV. A comparison too if possible? Even though they're far away in price and range. It isn't that different if you look at real time milage.

Good work..appreciate your efforts, it's such a nice video.

Loved it, you spoke as if mine friend is speaking so so so real

I don't think anyone ever said anything about not smoking electric car tyres.

Green plates are actually making people step back to buy these. EV drivers will be seen as nerds with these plates. A normal plate is enough for this.

Lucid Air, laughing 😂

Real world 290km range??? Is that with 64kwh battery? Not true, at least in my case. Recently I took a ride to countryside with my Kona- it was 96% charged, I drove 380km almost all distance at speed ~95km/h, no cities Battery was still 28% and 134km distance (usually every 50km takes 10%)

Now do a drag btwn ioniq and zs ev

When you laughing and crying at the same time 3:02

Putting in 20-30 lacs for an electric car is not everybody's cup of tea, I guess a base or mid model Nexon EV will be the best buy, if budget is issue, or else MG ZS EV all the way, but yes again I would love to see Nexon EV top model video from evo India

Tata Nexon EV is value for money in EV 👌

Check out zs ev 2022

Yeah yeah But the Tata Nexon EV beats both of them (maybe not in the drag race) but in every other aspect, specifically the price .....

M2 competition vs C43 amg

Was this around Hinjawadi?

How about battery safety?

1:37 i like you omega watches i think it is speedmaster !!!

Y is everyone talking about nexon ev? ZS Ev is so much better than nexon!!!

CHINESE ZS

Cool omega speedmaster u have there . It screams racing . Like the Rolex Daytona.

Your channel name is evo *INDIA* Bt there is only hyundia and chinese brand not TATA NEXON

This was an electrifying video 👍. Good job guys

Verdict: MG is Chinese. So there you go Kone wins.

with EV, 0-100 is important, most important is the range in different temperatures... i took my EV to town which is 200KM, i wanted change it three, but there was a un scheduled power shutdown on that day... such things will happen everywhere... am EV should give a real world range on 700Km min...

Try nexon ev max vs mg zs ev

Expensive for Indian markets.

Kona is bwst in class milage👌😍

Very good video man , keep up

Why no Nexon EV????? 🤔

Should have included nexon ev too

I'm no engineering expert but many konas have been catching fire one after another because of faulty engineering by hyundai on that lithium ion battery...

Turbo petrol should come out ahead in a longer drag race... But not by much. Max 1/2 car length

🔥 excellent sir. Variety video of electric drag racing 👌.

What is the Top Speed of MG ZS EV ?

You should include tata nexon ev into it as its an Indian manufacture we can get in cheaper rate and with solid build quality

Kona is also in 204 hp version

Why don't u give the real world rage test video between hese cars.. by driving on the same road at same time..

Can't wait for Tesla to come to India

Sid what about nexon ev

What is the city and highway range is all people want to know when it comes to electric. You are wasting your time on drag race

Would’ve loved to see back seat space comparison too

Why there was someone sitting in the back seat of the superb.

Try with nexon
