The new generation of the MG ZS is set for an August 28 unveiling for the global markets and it is going to be offered with a hybrid powertrain option. While the ZS is the electric model in India, its ICE-powered variant is sold in the country as the MG Astor.
The MG ZS Hybrid+ is likely to share its powertrain with that of the MG3, and this comprises a petrol engine paired with an electric motor that uses a 1.83 kWh battery pack to allow for electric-only driving for short intervals.

The Hybrid+ powertrain features self-charging technology, and while it is the only engine option available on the MG3, the new MG ZS is expected to include a turbo-petrol variant alongside an all-electric model. If all are brought to India, it is likely that the turbo-petrol and the hybrid models will be sold as the MG Astor, keeping the ZS name for the pure EV.
