Dimension Comparison

From the spy shots this car looks exactly the same as the ZS EV. So if we assume the dimensions to be the same then the car rivals the Hyundai Creta size-wise. The dimensions of the Creta are 4300mm x 1790mm x 1620mm. If we compare this to the size of the ZS EV then the EV has dimensions  4314 mm x 1809 mm x 1620mm. Dimensions of the car clearly indicate that it will be larger than Creta but smaller than Hector.

Over the electric counterpart of the MG ZS Spyshots have 2 major noticeable changes. They have different alloy wheels. The design is more contemporary and gives it a great look. Also, the fog lamp holders have a different shape. We expect with these recent sighting for the ZS petrol to enter the Indian market soon.
