Earlier this year, the petrol-powered MG ZS was spotted in India, though two petrol powertrains are being offered at the global stage.
According to a report, it has been confirmed that Morris Garage will launch MG ZS petrol in the Indian market in the first half of the year 2021, although it has been spied during testing in India many times. After its launch in India, the 2021 MG ZS petrol SUV will compete with cars like the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta and Nissan Kicks.
MG takes parts of the ZS EV from China and assembles the knock-down kit at the Halol Plant in Gujarat and likely the same strategy will be followed for MG ZS petrol. The company had already started looking for parts suppliers for this.
Let us know that the company showcased the new ZS petrol at the Auto Expo 2020 with a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Now carmaker MG Motor is preparing to launch the petrol-powered version of this car in the India market.
The MG petrol is offered at the International level with two petrol engine options, the first consisting of a 1.5-litre VTi engine that generates 118 bhp of power and 150 Nm of torque, while the other is a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine generating 161 bhp of power and 230 Nm of torque. Both these engines comes mated to a five-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission.
In terms of features, the car gets LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, LED taillights, Panoramic sunroof, all-new digital instrument cluster, 10.1-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system, synthetic leather upholstery and air purifiers.
It is believed that after the launch in India, the price of MG ZS petrol can be between Rs 15-20 lakhs (ex-showroom). However, it is also likely that this SUV will not be as cheap as 2020 Hyundai Creta in India and not as expensive as the Volkswagen T-Roc.
