MG Motor India has shared two staggering statistics on the occasion of this year’s World Environment Day, both revolving around its flagship pure-electric offering – the ZS EV. One: To date, all units sold in the country have covered more than 1.9 crore (19 million) kilometres. To put things in perspective, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.844 lakh (384,400) kilometres. So simple math reveals over 49 trips between the two celestial bodies. And two: The army of ZS EVs sold in India has saved more than 27 million kilograms of CO2 emissions. 

Do you remember the Nexon EV Max #Dark that launched last month? That came with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which also does duty in the Harrier and the Safari. That has now been introduced in two additional Nexon EV Max variants – XZ+ Lux and XZ+ Lux (with the 7.2kW charger). The former is priced at INR 18.79 lakh, whereas the latter comes at an ex-showroom price of INR 19.29 lakh, a difference of INR 50,000. Along with the larger real estate for controlling various vehicle functions, both XZ+ Lux derivatives of the Nexon EV Max also get wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a high-def rear-view camera, an improved audio system and voice assistant in six languages with over 180 commands. And in case you want the #Dark versions of either of the variants mentioned above, you will have shed an extra INR 25,000.
