Read in detail about MG’s iSMART tech here. The “Find My Car’ function will help you locate the vehicle while the geo-fencing feature alerts the owner when the car crosses a predetermined perimeter. It can even scan the vehicle’s systems to detect any malfunction. Safety features include an E-call function that is capable of sending alerts to emergency contacts and services when the airbags are deployed. The iSMART app in the MG Hector allows smartphone-based remote control for the climate control, door lock/unlock and tailgate closure.
The Hector’s vertically stacked unit offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support as well as Gaana’s premium music subscription. However, the internet-based features are expected to be identical, if not more, to MG’s first SUV for India. The China-spec eZS features an 8-inch touchscreen unit instead of the Hector’s 10.4-inch display.
Like the Hector SUV, the all-electric eZS SUV equipped with iSMART technology is likely to feature a host of connectivity options, real time data as well as emergency and convenience-enhancing features powered by the internet and AI (artificial intelligence).
MG says that the India launch of the eZS will coincide with its introduction in other markets such as the UK, Germany, Australia, Thailand and the Middle East. Christened the eZS, the all-electric SUV will feature the Hector’s iSMART internet-based connectivity features powered by an eSIM from Airtel.
