Trending Questions on MG Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hi, I am planning to buy an electric car as a secondary vehicle, preferably a small hatchback, with a budget of under ₹10 lakh. My usage will mainly be city commuting of around 60 km per day. I am not interested in the Tata Tiago EV or the MG Comet EV, and I am willing to wait another 4-6 months if there are better upcoming options expected by the end of this year.
Since you want a city-friendly electric car under Rs 10 lakh and don't want to go for either the Tata Tiago EV or MG Comet, you should consider the entry-level Tata Punch EV Smart. It's priced around your budget, it is small enough to drive and park comfortably in the city, and you can easily do a few days of your running on a single charge. The Punch EV also has an elevated seating position, so you get a great view out, the cabin is practical and comfy and being an EV, you'll appreciate the quiet and refined drive. As for upcoming models, Vietnamese manufacturer Vinfast is considering launching its smallest EV, the VF3, in India, but that is yet to be confirmed. So as it stands, your best bet is the Tata Punch EV Smart.
We already own a Nissan Magnite Turbo CVT purchased in 2022. Now, we are considering buying a second car for the family. Given the following requirements: Automatic transmission Fuel efficient Safe Practical as a secondary family car Which option makes more sense financially and practically? 1. A second hand used petrol automatic hatchback within a ₹4-5 lakh budget 2. A proper EV such as the Tata Punch EV 3. An IC engine car up to 8 L ? Like i10 nios Considering we already have the Magnite Turbo CVT as the primary car, which approach would be the better long-term decision?
The Tata Punch EV is the better long-term choice if you have a charging provision at your home. Running costs will be low, and the EV feels very smooth, quiet and zippy in traffic. Sure, the initial purchase price will be the highest from the options listed, however for the sheer peace of mind of owning a brand-new car backed by a manufacturer's warranty, it might be worth seriously considering.You could also consider an MG Comet, either new or used. It is tiny, but surprisingly practical and very convenient. As a secondary car, the Comet is an excellent buy.
I am planning to purchase an electric vehicle for a daily commute of approximately 80 km in Hyderabad, with a budget of up to Rs. 20 lakh. My key priorities are spacious interiors, strong safety features, good build quality, and overall reliability. Considering my daily usage, would opting for a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model be a financially beneficial choice?
Our recommendation would be to prioritise the MG Windsor EV and Tata Nexon EV. Each has a different strength, but both satisfy the need for cabin space, safety and build quality. Between the two, we would rank the MG Windsor on top. The 52.9kWh battery and claimed 449km range make it particularly appealing for your commute. This MG car also offers excellent passenger space. The Exclusive Pro's estimated Hyderabad on-road price is around Rs. 19.1 lakh, putting it within budgetOn the BaaS question, the initial recommendation is to buy the battery outright rather than opt for BaaS, particularly if you intend to keep the car for five years or longer. Considering you drive only 22 days a month, the break-even period increases to approximately 5.3–5.6 years. The best way to do it would be to buy the Windsor without BaaS.
Which car is better between Tomahawk and vinfast vf7
The Vinfast VF7 is sportier to drive, with stronger performance and more engaging driving dynamics. On the other hand, the Tomahawk is more comfort-oriented, with supportive seats, a spacious cabin, and the flexibility of a third row. It is also larger, yet it is more efficient than the VF7, resulting in better real-world range.As a spacious family car, the MG Hector Tomahawk EV is the better car. However, if you enjoy driving, pick the VinFast VF7.
I am confused between choosing MG Tomahawk Excite/Exclusive variants and Mahindra XEV 9S 79 kWh variant. Does the price premium really justify the upgrade? There is a price difference of approximately Rs. 3.66 lakh between MG Excite and XEV 9S, and around Rs. 1.5-2 lakh between the MG Exclusive and XEV 9S. Technically, the XEV 9S appears to have an advantage with its additional 10 kWh battery capacity, more powerful motor, higher torque and significantly better DC fast-charging capability. However, the MG offers better value in terms of pricing and, in the exclusive variant features such as ventilated seats. Does the XEV 9S's additional battery capacity, motor performance and faster charging justify paying an additional Rs. 1.5-3.66 lakh? I would like to get a few things evaluated. How noticeable is the difference in power and torque during regular city driving and highway cruising? Does the additional motor power translate into a meaningful everyday advantage? Although the XEV 9S supports much faster DC charging, how often can owners realistically access 180 kW chargers on Indian highways? Considering charger availability, infrastructure limitations and actual charging speeds, does this advantage make a significant difference to overall travel time? Does the additional 10 kWh battery translate into a substantial improvement in usable highway range, especially at 100-120 km/h? Is it worth sacrificing comfort features such as ventilated seats in the MG Exclusive to get the XEV 9S's additional battery capacity, performance and charging technology? If warranty coverage and routine service costs are broadly comparable, which vehicle offers better overall value over 5-8 years? I would appreciate a genuine, practical comparison rather than just comparing specification sheets. Ultimately, if you were spending your own money, would you choose MG Tomahawk Exclusive and save Rs. 1.5-2 lakh, or stretch the budget for Mahindra XEV 9S 79 kWh? More importantly, what tangible benefits would justify that additional investment in real-world Indian driving conditions?
We would recommend the Mahindra XEV 9S 79kWh over the MG Hector Tomahawk EV Exclusive, provided you are comfortable paying the additional Rs 1.5-2 lakh. The Mahindra offers a meaningful advantage in highway range, performance and charging speeds. In Autocar India's real-world range test, it returned 477km on the highway against 397km for the MG. Interestingly, the MG delivered better city range, at 495km against the Mahindra's 478km.The XEV 9S also gets a more powerful 286hp, 380Nm rear-wheel-drive motor, compared to the MG's 204hp, 310Nm front-wheel-drive setup. This translates into stronger acceleration, better high-speed performance and a more engaging driving experience. Its 180kW DC charging capability is another advantage over the MG's 90kW, although access to compatible high-powered chargers will determine how much time you actually save.The MG, however, makes a strong case with its lower price, spacious cabin and comfort features such as ventilated front seats in the Exclusive variant. If most of your driving is within the city, it offers better value and there is little reason to spend extra on the Mahindra.Our pick would be the Mahindra XEV 9S 79kWh if you regularly undertake highway journeys and want the additional range and performance. If your usage is predominantly urban, save the Rs 1.5–2 lakh and go for the MG Hector Tomahawk EV Exclusive.
