I'll take this one for humanity
Mankind and technology.
Okay, guys
Let's go!
Last week we saw the electric car competing with a sedan
This week of pitting the ZS EV against a Creta!
In the hopes to answer the ultimate question.
Are EVs the future?
The ZS EV here claims to go 0-100 in just 8.5 seconds in test conditions.
Let's see how it performs in less than ideal conditions like these.
All right.
Sound!
Wish you have a lovely day!
Oh yes, I will have a lovely day. Thank you, MG
I'm going to be going up against the Hyundai Creta
By the way that is India's most favourite SUV.
It's got a turbo petrol engine
Turbo being key - 140 horsepower.
The ZS EV here also has about 140 horses, but it's an electric motor.
This has one gear. It doesn't have to shift.
And of course, in terms of torque, 350 newton metres of torque.
What's your torque figure there Cyrus?
That would be 242 that's more than 100 torque
And I have it right from get go.
You might be actually correct for change there because I don't think this stands a chance.
But still has the DSG gearbox.
At the end of the day, these are similar-sized cars
While the ZS EV in 2021, it is slightly larger than the Creta
The extra torques though, two should come in handy.
I like how rude Cyrus is where he says you might be right there for a change.
When was I not right?
Time to see how much slower this is or if this can actually keep up.
If you love winning, you will love EVs
And you will love the ZS EV also!
5... 4... 3... 2... 1... GO!
He still managed to get a good launch.
No chance, my ZS EV is
AK 47!
I'm not even at the 200-metre mark and he's like 5 car lengths ahead of me!
All those who got yourself one, well you know that it's faster than the Creta.
As was expected.
I knew we will lose but I didn't expect it to be that much.
Yeah, so we're gonna be switching drivers
There is a slight chance that when I'm in the Creta that I might win
Through my sheer presence in that cabin.
It's not really possible.
I'm gonna have to step in the Creta there
So that Cyrus can win
Creta, first run, sadly lost
Even though it did have the same horsepower, obviously really low down on torque.
The cool thing about an EV is that
Even an absolute layman can come and blitz the track.
Gotta show this EV how it's done, guys.
Let's see if you can beat me in that because obviously, I couldn't!
I take this one for humanity, mankind and technology.
Okay, guys!
IN 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... GO!
Come on!
Oh my God, the shifts!
Look at that ZS EV.
That is just so easy.
One could say that it is set in stone that the ZS EV was bound to win this race.
The ZS EV is just so fast.
Driving this electric car definitely means not making any compromises on either features or power
A win-win for all, isn't it? Considering how the world has been.
I'm gonna go and get something faster because at least one race
For one set of races. I have to win against this EV.
I have to do it.
I just have to!
Everything is fair in love, war and drags!
