JAKARTA - MG Motor Indonesia recently introduced their latest electric car, MG4 EV, which features the latest design and technology. The price of this electric SUV starts at IDR 649.9 million.
The MG4 EV is just one electric vehicle model of various MG electrification models to help reduce carbon emissions in the future. In addition to the MG4 EV, other models in the MG electrification lineup include MG ZS EV, MG5 EV, and Marvel R.

Dalam jajaran tersebut, MG ZS EV, sebuah model SUV, menarik perhatian. Terlebih lagi, varian non-listrik dari MG ZS telah tersedia di Indonesia.
Regarding the possibility of other electric models to be introduced in Indonesia, Arief Syarifudin, Director of Marketing & Public Relations of MG Motor Indonesia, said that MG Indonesia will bring the latest electric vehicles that match the needs of people in the country.
"MG has various kinds of electric car variants, ranging from city cars, small cars, to MPV (multi purpose vehicles), and more stylish ones such as MG4 EVs. This means that we will bring things that are easily accepted by the market," said Arief during a media event at Summarecon Mall Kelapa Gading 3, Jakarta, on Wednesday, June 14.
Although MG has recorded good achievements in presenting electric vehicles, the competition in the electric vehicle market is now also getting tighter. Therefore, it seems that MG Indonesia is quite careful in in introducing electric vehicles.
"We have a variety of portfolios. We will see in general which ones are most popular with the public, and that's what we will give," added Arief.
Currently, the SUV segment is the most popular of Indonesians. In addition to the MG4 EV, the pure electric SUVs that are already available in the country are BMW iX and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
MG ZS EV is a five-door SUV powered by electric power. Powered by an electric motor with 128 hp and a torque of 280 Nm, this car can reach a maximum speed of up to 173 km/hour.
The MG ZS EV is equipped with a 51.1 kWh capacity battery for the initial SE and Trophy variants, as well as the SE Long Range and Long Range Trophy variants with a 72.6 kWh battery.
The SUV has a range of up to 318 km for the SE and Trophy variants, while two Long Range variants can reach a distance of 439 km with the battery fully charged according to the WLTP cycle.
In the international market, MG ZS EV is sold for around 30,495 pounds or around Rp576.6 million. In comparison, the conventional version of MG ZS is sold in Indonesia at a price of Rp335.8 million for the Ignite variant and Rp355.8 million for the Magnify variant.
Given the MG4 EV price which reached Rp649.9 million, it is possible that the price of MG ZS EV in the country will be quite high considering its size and performance.
Previously, MG ZS EV had been introduced in Indonesia at the 2022 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS). However, at that time MG Motor Indonesia only showed off the vehicle and had not sold it.
