When it comes to a practical and accessible electric vehicle, simpler is better. And that's exactly what the MF ZS EV is going for - simple, accessible, and practical daily mobility, all packed up within a now-popular SUV package.

The exterior design of the ZS is quite straightforward - smooth clean lines to improve aerodynamic efficiency combined with a clean and sharp SUV style.

Being an SUV, the ZS EV delivers ample family-friendly practicality. The 445-litre boot is more than sufficient, the rear seats will comfortably fit three adults, while a PM2.5 Air Purification system ensures the cleanliness of the air within the cabin. Modern day necessities, such as smartphone connectivity and a LCD screen on the dash to display various information, add to the overall practicality of the car.

On the road, the ZS rides with pleasing comfort, thanks to the supple suspension that does well to cope with the extra weight of the batteries. With 353Nm of torque available from the electric motor, acceleration is brisk and effortless, and the car is capable of cruising along at highway speeds without a fuss in the world.

The 44.5kWh battery also allows the car to realistically cover around 300km on a single charge, which should be sufficient for a couple of days of driving in Singapore. And, charging to 80% takes a reasonable 40 minutes at a 50kW DC fast charge station, which are becoming more available these days.

Most importantly, the ZS EV is priced sensibly - it's one of the most affordable all electric offerings in the market right now. And when it comes to getting drivers to embrace electrification, sometimes it's as simple as getting these cars on the road. And thus, as a two time winner in this category, the ZS EV ticks all the necessary boxes to do just that.
