my country is about to usher in another pure electric (EV) SUV, this time it is the Chinese-English mixed-race MG ZS. This pure electric SUV dressed in the MG factory emblem was recently photographed by netizen Humaizi Bahri parked on the roadside in front of the Times Square in Kuala Lumpur, and uploaded the photo to his Facebook to share it.
The editor knows that many people are unfamiliar with the brand MG, so the editor will give you some popular science here. MG is a car company originated from the UK. It was founded in the 1920s. It was originally just a car seller and later began to produce cars of its own brands. The brand
MG has changed hands many times in the past century. In the 1950s, it merged with another British brand Jaguar. It was then bought by the German BMW group in the 1990s, and then sold to the British Rover company and renamed MG Rover.
By 2005, MG Rover declared bankruptcy due to poor management. At that time, when China's automobile industry began to flourish, China's Nanjing Automobile Group aimed at the opportunity to buy it for 53 million pounds (RM272 million) and sold it in China with the official Chinese name " MG ".
However, just two years later, Nanjing Auto was immediately acquired by Shanghai Automobile Group (SAIC), and MG under the name of nanqi was naturally also acquired under the SAIC Group . SAIC Group also canceled the Chinese name "MG" and sold it under the name of MG worldwide. Although MG has been controlled by Chinese capital, it still has a car production line in Birmingham (Birmingham ) in the UK and is still regarded as a British car brand.
Return to this set of photos. The EV photographed is called MG ZS. According to the information, MG will be sold locally through MG Berjaya, a subsidiary of Malaysia's Berjaya. The Chenggong Group has reached a cooperation agreement with SAIC Group last year. Berjaya will serve as MG's general agent locally, responsible for assembling and selling new MG brand cars locally, and also provide after-sales service.
It is understood that MG's first local new car sales center will be located in Berjaya Plaza opposite Times Square in Kuala Lumpur. Although the ZS photographed this time is a right-drive version, it is reported that it was a test car that was assembled in China and transported to Malaysia for road testing. This is not surprising, because MG is still sold in the UK and other right-drive countries, so China also produces right-drive MG.
In addition to Malaysian , MG also officially landed in the Thai market in June last year. The ZS in the photo is priced at 1.19 million baht (RM160,000) in Thailand. It is equipped with a set of 44.5 kWh lithium-ion batteries. The motor output power is 150 horsepower and 350Nm of torque. The single driving distance after full power can reach up to 337 kilometers.
According to the specifications of the Thai market, the original manufacturer will provide a set of household AC chargers when selling the car, with a charging power of 6.6 kW, and the battery on the car will take 6.5 hours. If an additional DC fast charging charger is optional, it will only take 30 minutes to charge 80%.
other equipment parts, the Thai version of ZS is equipped with a panoramic glass sunroof, automatic opening and closing wipers and headlight groups, halogen bulb's perspective mirror (Projector) headlights, leather-covered electric seats, engine start buttons, 8-inch audio and video entertainment screen host, colored dashboard driving information screen, intelligent voice control system and car negative ion air conditioning system, etc.
According to reports, this pure electric SUV was originally expected to be officially launched locally in May this year, but due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia, my country has implemented a two-week movement control order, and the government has not announced whether it will extend this control order, so it is still unknown whether it can catch up with the original plan.
