• MG ZS EV wins major fleet award for second year in a row
• Company Car and Van names ZS EV its Medium EV Car of the Year 2021
• ZS EV and MG5 EV are eligible for 0% Benefit-in-Kind tax for the 2021-22 tax year, making them even more appealing to business drivers
• All MG EVs covered by brand’s famous 7 year warranty

MG’s ground-breaking electric ZS has won a major fleet accolade for the second year in a row.

The MG ZS EV was crowned Medium EV Car of the Year 2021 by Company Car and Van, having taken the same award from the title in 2020. The title is focused on small to medium enterprise firms with smaller fleets of less than 50 vehicles.

Company Car and Van Editor, Andrew Walker, said: “MG deservedly retains this award. Despite increased competition, the ZS EV still manages to offer a cracking level of specification, coupled to a 163-mile electric range, with plenty of room on board for a family of five, all at an incredible price. Amazing!”

MG Motor’s National Fleet Sales Manager, Geraint Isaac, added: “MG’s increasingly diverse EV model range has given us a massive fleet opportunity that we’re taking every opportunity to grow, with SMEs and user choosers an important part of our growth strategy. To win this award for the second year running goes to show how attractive ZS EV is to smaller fleets and company car users and it’s a massive honour to receive it once again.”

The news comes on the back of All New MG5 EV winning its first major award after WhichEV named it as its Best Value EV, thanks to its 214 mile range, extensive equipment, affordable purchase price and lengthy warranty.

In addition, the MG ZS EV was also Highly Commended in the same category of the first high profile EV awards ceremony in 2021.

Both the ZS EV and MG5 EV are eligible for 0% Benefit-in-Kind tax for the 2021-22 tax year, making them even more appealing to business drivers.

The iconic brand – which has been a motor industry innovator for almost a century – is already ahead of the curve with its plan to offer affordable EVs for everyone, reflected by the fact that the recent largest single shipment of MGs contained a 66% EV mix, made up of the company’s best-selling MG ZS EV, All New MG5 EV and MG HS Plug-in.

MG will be engaging with its 120-strong (and growing) dealer network over the coming months to offer reassurance to customers and help them make the most informed EV choice possible.

It currently offers three plug-in models in the UK – the established MG ZS EV, the game-changing All New MG5 EV and MG HS Plug-in, all backed up by MG’s incredible 7 year warranty and fast-developing dealer network.
