MG cars in India (12)

MG, or Morris Garages, is a British brand now owned by China's SAIC Motor. In India, it's sold through JSW MG Motor India, and the first MG car here was the Hector, launched in 2019. If we at Autocar India had to sum up MG cars in one line, it would be this: strong on value and features, not on driving involvement. Time and again in our reviews, models like the Astor and Hector get called “well worth shortlisting” or a “compelling choice” for their cabins, space, and equipment, rarely for how they drive.

 

MG has also built genuine experience with EVs, more than most brands selling in India, 6 of its 10 current models are electric, running from the Rs 7.80 lakh Comet to the Rs 82.50 lakh Cyberster. Like with any brand, ownership experience can vary a bit by model, so it's worth matching the right MG to your actual usage, which is exactly what the table below is for.

Which MG Car Suits You Best?

Requirement

Autocar India Recommendation

Why

The cheapest MG EV

Comet

As per us at Autocar India, this suits short, city-only trips best. Comet is also better than some rivals like Tiago EV in terms of manoeuvrability

An affordable feature-loaded SUV

Astor

It is a good option in terms of cabin quality and tech over dynamics 

A spacious family SUV that offers comfort over driving fun

Hector

We consider it a spacious, comfortable SUV and a compelling choice for buyers who value space and comfort over engagement. The car is also available with a diesel engine that’s specifically suited to highway driving

An EV for family comfort

Windsor

As per us, it is a very spacious, comfortable family car for short city runs. For intercity use, we would recommend the larger 52.9kWh Pro battery, as the standard version’s real-world range is closer to 308km

A 3-row EV SUV with the newest tech

Hector Tomahawk EV

We consider it a strong option for buyers who prefer a simpler dashboard than the triple-screen setup in rivals like the Mahindra XEV 9e. And, as it has been recently launched, it is equipped with the newest tech.

A 3-row SUV that I can take on longer trips without being worried about range

Hector Tomahawk PHEV

The PHEV is the better pick for genuine long-distance driving. It offers a combined range of over 1,100km, with no range anxiety on longer trips, unlike the EV version

An electric SUV for daily commutes

ZS EV

As per us at Autocar India, the ZS EV remains a strong pick for genuinely highway-heavy use, thanks to its range and ride comfort, especially with current discounts improving the value. Do keep resale value in mind though, long-term owners have seen real depreciation over a few years

A premium 3-row SUV with some off-road ability

Majestor

The Majestor is a strong pick if you want size, off-road hardware, and a properly loaded cabin. We have scored it 8/10 for exactly that

A sporty electric sports car. No budget constraint

Cyberster

As per us at Autocar India, it is genuinely quick, with a 0-100kph time of 3.2 seconds in our testing. By our numbers, it is even quicker than the BMW Z4 M40i

Chauffeur-driven comfort for the family

M9

As per us, the M9 works best for city and short-trip chauffeur duty. Its real-world range runs closer to 300km against a claimed 548km, so a longer intercity trip needs more charging planning, while around town you still get a refined, low-cost, silent ride from the electric powertrain

There are 12 MG cars in India today, 10 you can buy right now and 2 upcoming. The MG car price in India starts at Rs 7.80 lakh and goes up to Rs 82.50 lakh. The Hector Tomahawk EV and PHEV are MG's latest cars, and the Hector remains its most recognisable nameplate. Two more launches are due soon: the IM6 electric SUV and a new-generation Astor.

Trending Questions on MG Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts

Which is the best electric SUV with seven seater capacity under Rs. 25 lakh?

•5d

I own a 2018 Datsun Redi-GO, which I am planning to sell. I am looking for an EV priced between Rs 6 lakh and Rs 11 lakh. My monthly running is around 350-425 km. Please suggest a good car that suits my requirements.

•1w

I currently own a 2017 Tata Hexa XTA automatic with 1,27,000km on the odometer and plan to replace it within the next 12 months. My key requirements are an automatic transmission, a genuinely comfortable third row for adults, excellent bad-road and hill-climbing capability, strong highway comfort for long-distance touring, and proven long-term reliability with minimal ownership headaches. The MG Majestor 4x4 is currently my leading contender, and I am happy to wait for the right vehicle rather than buying immediately. Considering my priorities, would you recommend waiting for the next-generation Toyota Fortuner, choosing the MG Majestor 4x4, or holding out for another upcoming SUV?

•1w

Is an EV a safe bet as a primary car now as I am considering MG Tomahawk EV. My daily running in city will be around 45 km and will also include quarterly long drive around 600 km. Currently, I am staying in Thane.

•1w

In this month, canceled my booking after waiting for 3 months! And I’m not in rush! If facelift GXO comes with cruise! Then I’ll book. Otherwise MG Tomahawk PHEV. I don’t need the Sunroof! Tomahawk had it.

When I drive it, I love the features and looks. The seats are comfortable, and the driving experience is massive. The rear seat space and boot space are large, and the rear camera visibility is clear.

Test drove the EV, at Jubiliant motors BG Road Bangalore, got the vehicle within 30mins for TD, easy to handle vehicle, didn't feel bulk of the vehicle on the move, looks will last for years as the lines and crease are straight and will keep the SUV ish look through out, vehicle have balanced proportions unlike, Vfast MPV7, Carens clavis, as expected vehicle felt nervous over potholes and speed bumps and road stripes, (Hope MG JSW Will sort this out before deliveries) cabin felt good cs of the fresh interior colour and minimal control buttons, impressed with unique underbelly camera feature which MG installed for stray animal safety. Floor it with sports mode at your own risk as the steering need immediate attention, however felt MG representatives are trying to demarket BAAS rental system over outright purchase, which i felt for a corporate guy makes more sense, and battery is offered with 15 Years of Warranty against mfg defect. Overall, with little attention to ride quality will be a perfect fit as a pure EV family SUV. Hoping to get my car soon.

Solid technology, it has plenty of features compared with other car like tata, hyundai , mahindra and toyota cars, best in class. It's a introductory price. It's beats in all parameters like length, width and height. Colours are dominating. PHEV will rock the automobile industry.

The car looks great. I think it is a real rival to the Fortuner. The overall dimensions and size of this SUV give it a muscular appearance.

MG Windsor PRO is an excellent choice in this price range. It offers exceptional cabin comfort and a smooth drive. The 15 inch screen and 600 liter boot space are impressive. The PRO version provides a real time range of over 400 kms. Highly recommended.

When I was a new driver with our MG Astor CVT in Chennai, it returned only 7-8 kmpl. However, my dad managed to get better efficiency of 10 kmpl in the city by adapting to how the CVT works, without compromising speed. You really need to adapt to CVTs for better mileage.

I recently purchased the MG Cyberster EV, and from booking to delivery, the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. The futuristic, low-slung design instantly grabs attention, and the scissor doors make it feel like something from a dream.
