Morris Garages India has announced its plan to launch the 2021 MG ZS EV on February 8. The updated electric SUV for the 2021 model year is expected to come with some new and revised features. However, judging by the image shared by the company, we do not expect to see any major visual revisions. While at the moment the company hasn't revealed any details, we expect the major addition to the 2021 ZS EV will be MG's updated i-Smart connected car system, which was introduced with the Hector facelift that was launched earlier in January 2021.

The updated MG i-Smart system now also responds to 'Hinglish' voice commands, which the company says is an industry first. The system understands about 35-odd Hinglish commands such as 'Hello MG, AC chalao', 'Hello MG, sunroof kholo', 'Hello MG, Radio Bajao' and so on. It's also possible that MG might have updated the battery on the ZS EV to offer an improved charge time or a longer range. However, the details will be revealed at the time of the launch.
