MG ZS becomes the best-selling Chinese model in Europe
- The B segment MG ZS SUV becomes the best-selling Chinese model in Europe, with 9,811 sales in 2019 and 4,295 sales in the first 5 months of 2020. Among these sales, the 100% electric version (BEV) represents 1 675 units in 2019 and 2,286 units in the first 5 months of 2020. Taking advantage of the increasing BEV market in Europe, the Chinese carmaker (using the famous English brand of the same name) is therefore pushing the offer of BEV in Europe, while it is trying to do the same in China.
- The MG ZS SUV is produced in China and exported to Europe. Priced at 30,000 euros, it is cheaper than a Renault Zoé (32,000 euros) or a Peugeot e-208 (32,000 euros), and a direct competitor, the Peugeot e-2008 (37,000 euros).
- Note however that the future Dacia Spring will be proposed at a price much lower than that of the MG ZS, but with a much lower habitability and less performance.
- The MG ZS electric allows an autonomy of 263 km according to the WLTP cycle, on par with the 300 km of its French competitors. The MG ZS has dimensions comparable to those of a Peugeot 2008 with 4.31 m length, 1.81 m wide and 1.64 m high. With its battery, the model weighs 1,490 kilos, as a Renault Zoé.
- The carmaker didn’t communicate sales targets in Europe, but based on the first results posted in the first 5 months of 2020, MG could sell between 7,000 to 10,000 ZS BEV each year.
