Trending Questions on MG Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking to buy a new EV/ Hybrid car with great cabin space. Budget is 15 to 18 lakhs. Mostly city driving with occasional trips 1-2 times a month. What do you suggest?
Given your requirement for a spacious cabin, the MG Windsor EV is a great choice for you. The interior room is a highlight, and the Windsor EV actually feels roomier than some larger cars.
The Windsor EV is also pleasant to drive, though we'd suggest you opt for the Pro version that uses a larger 52.9kWh battery pack - the added range will come in handy on your outstation trips. The Windsor EV Exclusive Pro is just out of your budget, but it is the one we'd recommend you consider.
With an on-road budget of ₹22 lakh, I want to buy an SUV in the next 4-5 months that is fun and punchy with reasonable fuel efficiency. I don’t want a Maruti car because the hybrids compromise boot space, and the others aren’t engaging to drive. My main requirements are good rear seat space and an enjoyable driving experience. The MG Hector and Tata Sierra have some variants that fit the bill, but they’re gas guzzlers. Apart from those, are there any other models that fit the bill?
The most fun-to-drive SUVs in your budget are the 1.5-litre Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq twins, which are very engaging thanks to their brilliant dynamics and a powerful, punchy engine.
Both are due for a facelift, and the upgraded Kushaq is just around the corner and scheduled to launch on January 20th 2026. The Volkswagen Taigun facelift will come a month later. Both these SUVs will see some significant enhancements to the air conditioning and interiors.
Top-end variants will come with rear massage seats, a first in the segment. However, one weakness is the rear seat space, which is relatively narrow and best for four.
Therefore, if this is a deal-breaker for you, you could consider the Tata Sierra. It is fantastically spacious, has superb ride and handling and an all-new 1.5 petrol engine, which is smooth, punchy and fairly efficient too.
The Sierra is not as engaging to drive as the Kushaq and Taigun, as it is heavier and has a relaxed power delivery. We would rule out the MG Hector in your case as it is too big, it's not a very engaging car to drive, and as you said, it guzzles fuel.
I want to purchase a new automatic car for my wife. She currently drives a Kwid AMT and our budget is between ₹10 lakh and ₹11 lakh. Our monthly running will be around 300-400 km, mostly in city traffic. We want a smooth, hassle-free car with good mileage and the latest technology and features. We are open to both petrol and EV options - please suggest which car to choose.
Considering your running and if you are open to an EV, the MG Comet is a good option for your wife. It is extremely easy to drive, park, and live with thanks to its compact size. Even the top variant falls within your budget and comes well-loaded with features.
If it feels too small and you want something more substantial, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT in the Delta Plus variant is a good fit. The 1.2 litre petrol engine is smooth and efficient, and the AMT works well for everyday use.
If you prefer a more premium automatic, the Hyundai i20 with the smooth CVT transmission is also a strong option and fits comfortably within your budget.
I have been using a Swift Dzire diesel for 20 years and am very happy with its performance. I drive about 40 km daily, mostly local. I want to buy a new car with a slightly larger boot (around 600 litres). My requirements are minimal, but essential daily-use features are a must. My budget is under ₹16 lakh on road. Please suggest suitable options.
The Tata Sierra is an excellent option for you, keeping your big boot space requirements in mind. The Sierra boasts a boot up to 622 litres (up to the roof), which should serve your needs well.
Moreover, it is a spacious car, and the Sierra Pure 1.5 Petrol MT variant that'll fit within your budget gets the basics like a touchscreen, electric mirror adjustment, keyless entry, rear AC vents, etc.
Another option that you can consider for its expansive boot space is the MG Hector.
I am very confused between the Tata Harrier and the MG Hector diesel. I like the Harrier’s looks but have concerns about service and maintenance costs. On the other hand, the MG offers a very good interior and lower maintenance costs. I currently drive a petrol Honda City. My maximum budget is ₹21 lakh. I am comparing the Harrier Pure X with the Hector Smart Pro. My monthly running is around 1,200km.
What are your thoughts on the MG Windsor EV Pro if I want a practical car for city use and occasional 150km trips?
My car delivers very poor fuel efficiency in the city, around 6 kmpl. With steady driving on the highway, it gives about 12 to 13 kmpl. Is this typical of turbo-petrol engines? My car has a CVT transmission.
I am planning to buy an EV car, but my running is not that much. Monthly 500 kms. I should go with an EV car or a petrol car.
I have been using automatic cars, a Celerio and a Grand i10, for the past 8 years. Both are good, and the i10 is smoother. I now want to replace the Celerio and buy a new automatic petrol car or an EV within a 20 lakh budget. My monthly usage is around 1,000 km, mostly in the city with rare highway trips. Which is better: an automatic SUV priced around 16 to 20 lakh, or an EV like the Windsor or Nexon within an 18 lakh budget? I also have a home charging facility. My wife will use the car sometimes. Are there any other EV or automatic options available in this range?
I am a first-time driver planning to buy an MG Comet for city use. Are there any other small automatic/electric vehicles that would be better than the Comet?
The MG Comet is a good option for a first-time driver. It is easy to drive, has a spacious cabin, despite being a two-door, and the electric powertrain is smooth and silent enough.
However, the 2-doors mean the Comet is not the most practical option in its segment, the boot is small, and the small tyres mean the ride can get choppy. If this is important to you, you could consider the Tata Tiago EV. Otherwise the Comet will do just fine.
