MG ZS EV
The upgrade our valuation covers best is Exclusive Plus → Essence: ₹75,000 buys ₹75,000 of equipment — 100% of the price rise, so the kit alone covers what it costs.
MG's electric SUV with a 50.3 kWh battery, sold in four trims.
*Ex-showroom, Delhi · Prices checked Nov 2026
All 4 variants, priced from electric upwards. Covers all four trims; the 100 Year Limited Edition and battery-rental (BaaS) pricing are left out, and the Ivory interior versions are the same trims at the same price.
Also sold with an engine: the Astor, which has its own variants and prices. We list the two separately because a battery and an engine cannot be compared as equipment.

Where the money buys the most equipment, and where it buys the least
One variant on the MG ZS EV is covered outright by the kit it adds. Another is mostly paying for something else. Both are computed from the same feature valuations, not chosen by hand.

Excite Pro 50.3 kWh to Exclusive Plus 50.3 kWh costs ₹1,25,000, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹76,000 — 60% of the price rise. The rest of that money goes on things we do not itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin.

How we checked these figures
Data notes — where these figures come from
Built 11 Oct 2026 from MG's August 2026 brochure, a four-column matrix (Executive / Excite Pro / Exclusive Plus / Essence) with no stated walk. The 2021 'iSmart 2' brochure MG still links is not used. IVORY: MG gives the Exclusive Plus and Essence Ivory interiors their own sales codes at identical prices; the brochure calls Ivory an interior theme, so four variants are modelled. RANGE: 461 km — MG prints only 'as per various test conditions carried at government affiliated agencies', naming no cycle; stored as ARAI, the e Vitara's disposition for a certified figure with no MIDC part named. MOTOR: 176.75 PS (MG prints no kW), 280 Nm. CHARGER: the Exclusive Plus and Essence include a 7.4 kW charger with installation; on the Executive and Excite Pro both wall boxes are 'Optional', so they are stored without one. SPEAKERS: the Executive has none (two tweeters only), and the Excite Pro's four are footnoted 'Dealer Fitment' — neither is a registry feature. MAPPING: the 25.7 cm (10.1-inch) touchscreen at the 9-inch rung; the 17.78 cm (7-inch) cluster at the 7-inch rung; the 6-way powered driver's seat at the 4-way rung; Leather+# seats earn the leatherette entry; the Executive's PU-wrapped wheel does not earn the leather-wrapped one; the Exclusive Plus's rear-drive assist (blind spot detection, cross-traffic alert, lane change assist) earns the blind-spot monitor; ADAS with adaptive cruise is the Essence's alone. NOT CREDITED: TPMS (per-tyre readout not stated); the PM2.5 filter; the Tomahawk hub covers fitted over the R17 alloys; seat height adjustment (not stated). Regen levels are not credited as paddle shifters. REVERSING CAMERA (re-read 29 Oct 2026): the maker describes the camera without saying its guidelines move with the steering, so the camera entry (moving guidelines) is not credited.
