MG India has released special editions of four models to celebrate 100 years of the brand’s existence. These versions have been launched only for Hector, ZS EV, Astor and Comet. MG’s most expensive offering in India, Gloster, has been left out of these limited editions. The company has not mentioned how many units it will manufacture for these.

MG 100-year celebration edition changes

On the outside, the special editions sport green paint, which is a homage to the classic ‘British Racing Green’. However, MG has called it Evergreen. These models also have badges on the rear to distinguish them. Their interiors have an all-black look, with green highlights and ‘100-Year Limited Edition’ embroidered onto the front headrests. The infotainment units also get a green theme colour. 

MG powertrains and price

The changes to the special editions are purely cosmetic. MG Astor has two engine options: a 110hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine and a 140hp, 140hp turbo-petrol engine. The Astor is priced from Rs 9.98 lakh to Rs 17.90 lakh. 

MG Hector is available in five, six and seven-seater options and priced between Rs 13.99 lakh and Rs 22.76 lakh. Hector packs a 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 143hp or a 2.0-litre diesel mill producing 170hp.
