MG ZS Frequently Asked Questions Powertrain & Performance

The ZS Vibe has a gasoline powertrain. It is equipped with a Naturally Aspirated 1.5L Engine with a CVT transmission.

The ZS Vibe produces 81 kW Power and 140 Nm Torque. The ZS Hybrid+ Variants have a combined maximum power of 158 kW and maximum torque of 465 Nm.

The Electric motor in the Hybrid+ Variant is 25% more powerful than the Engine, capable of producing 100kW power (nominal).

All Variants of the MG ZS are re-engineered to run on Pakistani RON92 Fuel.

The Fuel Tank capacity of the MG ZS Vibe is 55L. The ZS Hybrid+ Variants have a tank capacity of 41L.

All Variants of the MG ZS are Front Wheel Drive (FWD)

The ZS Hybrid+ Variants offer 3 Driving modes (Eco, Normal, Sports) which can be selected with the Drive mode Selector Switch or the Infotainment Screen.

Battery, Charging & Electric Range

1.83 kWh nominal which is the largest battery in its segment of Hybrid Vehicles.

Being a Hybrid+ and a large battery, the MG ZS Hybrid+ can run on EV mode in specific conditions. The Energy Management System automatically selects the most efficient power source intelligently. However, specific selection of EV mode is not available since it is a Hybrid+.

The Hybrid+ does not require to be charged from any external source. It self charges itself using energy regeneration. You may select the Regen Levels (Low, Medium, High). But there is no external charging port available.

The High Voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 150,000 km (whichever comes first) on Hybrid+ Variants.

24.7 kWh nominal.

1.83 kWh nominal which is the largest battery in its segment of Hybrid Vehicles.

Up to 135 km (NEDC rated) on a full charge.

The Hybrid+ does drive on Electric Power alone but for small distances. The electric drive is however not selectable as the vehicle intelligently manages the power source. The battery is primarily designed for hybrid assistance and efficiency, and not for extended standalone EV range in the way the Super Hybrid is.

It uses a Type 2 charging connector. A full charge of 0% to 100% takes about 12 hours with the portable charger, or about 4 hours with a 7kW home/public charger. The Charging time is dependent on the Battery State of Charge as well as the ambient temperature.

No the Hybrid+ isn't a plug-in model, so there's no charging port or external charging option.

The HV battery is covered for 8 years or 150,000 km (whichever comes first) on both models.

Warranty

A 5-year or 150,000 km (whichever comes first) vehicle warranty on all Variants, plus an 8-year or 150,000 km HV battery warranty (whichever comes first), on Hybrid+ Variants.

The Hybrid+ variants are designed to offer the best efficiency along with a superior drive experience due to the electric first architecture. Should the running cost be the key priority, the Hybrid+ Variants offer much high fuel efficiency and hence should be the choice.

A 5-year or 150,000 km vehicle warranty, plus an 8-year or 150,000 km HV battery warranty (whichever comes first), on both models.

The Super Hybrid, thanks to its large 24.7 kWh battery and 135 km electric range ideal if you can charge regularly at home or work.

The Hybrid+ is the better fit it never needs to be plugged in and still delivers strong fuel efficiency through self-charging hybrid technology.

MG HS Hybrid+ & Super Hybrid Frequently Asked Questions

Both share the same 1.5L turbo engine specifically developed for Hybrid Platform and a dedicated hybrid transmission, but the Super Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) with a much larger 24.7 kWh battery, a Type 2 charging port, and 135 km of pure electric (NEDC) range. The Hybrid+ is a self-charging hybrid with a small 1.83 kWh battery that isn't plugged in it recharges itself through energy regeneration, and has no standalone EV range.

No. The Hybrid+ is a conventional (self-charging) hybrid, so it never needs external charging just fill it with fuel like a normal car.

For best and optimum performance, It is essential to plug-in the Super Hybrid for charging the battery and get the most benefit (lower running costs, EV-only driving) if you do. However, if charging is not possible, It can also run purely on the hybrid system if you don't charge it externally.

"Super Hybrid" refers to MG's plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system, offering a larger battery and genuine electric-only driving range. The Term Super Hybrid is due to the vehicle's driving architecture of behaving like a Hybrid Vehicle with a massive battery.

Powertrain & Performance

Both models use the same 1.5L (1496cc) turbocharged petrol engine developed specifically for Hybrid Powertrain producing 105 kW and 230 Nm, paired with a Dedicated hybrid transmission.

The Super Hybrid delivers 220 kW / 350 Nm combined (nominal), while the Hybrid+ delivers 165 kW / 340 Nm combined.

The Super Hybrid's traction motor produces 154 kW / 340 Nm. The Hybrid+'s traction motor produces 146 kW / 340 Nm (nominal).

Both require RON 92 petrol or above.

Both models have a 55-litre fuel tank.

Both are Front Wheel Drive (FWD) with a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission.

Yes, both offer 3 Driving Modes as standard (Comfort, Normal, Sports).
