The Exicom charger set up was seamless.Immediate availability and choice of colours ensured that I took out my card and swipe the booking amount without any further procrastination. With a neighbourhood dealer offering a 2.24,00,00 discount on the exclusive variant, it acted as the layer of grease in the decision making process. Having reviewed all of these, and then some, like the EQB and the mini EV, we made up our mind to go with the MGZSEV.Honestly, it made the Tiago a compelling buy While its interiors are to die for, the initial reviews that warned of a hard ride and display issues put me off. However, it crossed off a lot of checkboxes – like low range, no fast charging and super small wheels. Quirky looks aside, I loved the interiors. We had paused the decision making process because MG had teased the comet. We also reviewed the MG comet and I believe it deserves an entire para for why we rejected it.
Had it been available for 10 lakhs lesser, it would have been short to blind us to the downsides. We had to say no to the XC 40 only because of its sad interiors, the velvet lining and Alcantara vegan seats and exposed wiring under the front seat. While the Coonur was an immediate reject, each of the others presented a compelling proposition – Nexon in terms of its value, ioniq 5 in terms of its sheer interior space, the Atto3 in terms of its quirky interiors, which also happens to be the reason it was rejected and last, but not the least the incredible XC 40 that just blew us away with its 428 bhp power available instantly coupled with the legendary Volvo, promise of safety and littered with features such as the adaptive cruise control that made it such a hoot to drive in the city.
Drove and tested almost the same set of cars, namely - Nexon, Kona, BYD Atto 3, Ioniq 5, and the XC40 Recharge.Having an independent House equipped with a 5 kW, solar set up and with a basement garage meant that the EV bug had already bitten.It was just over 10 years old and served me well - frugal and powerful and driven mostly in the city with just a couple of long drives (>1500 km) thrown in. The Metro work here in Pune has aggravated the traffic to an extent that the knee is subjected to pressures akin to astronauts training for space travel. Primary reason for this was the need for an automatic. In my case, I wanted to get rid of my trusty workhorse - a Red Renault Scala that did duty for over 160K Km.I was planning to pen one of mine, but your review is pretty much the trajectory I went through before finally deciding to buy - surprise surprise - MG ZS EV (exclusive) in Aurora Silver colour! Thanks for the the stellar ownership review rated it 5 stars. BHPian INNOVATOR recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
