New ZS EV model gossip

[gus]

So I dropped into the dealer to enquire about some software updates as most of us do from time to time and as I was chatting to the salesperson it was let slip that a new ZS EV model is on the cards, apparently likely to be 2025, they don't think it will make it for 2024.

There’s is a big MG UK dealer meeting sometime this month. I think Miles Roberts of Chorley Group will let us know of any info he is allowed to impart In a future podcast.

Interesting, The only other new one I read about was the MG eHS which will be coming to right hand drive markets to replace the Marvel R SUV. 2025 MG eHS: Everything We Know About The New Tesla Model Y Rival | Carscoops

Probably expected, given the mk2 will have had 2.5(sh) years on sale by then.

Moby’s deal runs to 2026 so looking forward to Moby 2, hopefully with 6 inches more bootspace, 280 mile real world range & ACC that uses regen.

Sure, there's more yet to do with the (new) MSP platform and as currently only used in the MG4.

It does look like an MG4 on stilts, not sure myself?

I think we are talking early in 2025 myself.
Almost certain to be running on the LFP chemistry???.

Unless there are huge strides of improvement in the software there's no way I'd have another.

Hoping for an Ioniq 6 next time.

Good choice, seen a couple in the flesh and they are very pretty.

In an ideal (sensible) world I’d have an Enyaq (mainly because boot space), however dropping £50k+ on a car with my annual mileage would be very silly

I think I would go for used next time.

On my second lease and I think used EVs are now worth the risk.

I honestly can’t work out why they think AWD buyers want or need 400bhp. These are two different requirements. One labels you as in your midlife crisis, whilst the other gets you out of soggy or snowy passing bays on country lanes.

70bhp at each end would be plenty based on the performance of the existing model.

This. Much as I’d like to indulge my inner teenager, any more performance than what you get from a current LR is just pointless if you’re just buying a family wagon.

4WD I kinda get if you’re out in the sticks, although even that is a stretch.

OTOH if I was in a position to buy a “fun” car, a 4WD 400bhp Cyberster would be very entertaining.
