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

Hello, I am planning to buy an electric car for city drive (which is around 50 km per day) and occasional intercity drive (which is around 300km) to my village. I expect to own the car for a long time (around 8-10 years) and want a car that is easy to drive within city that can also carry heavy luggage. I want a good ADAS system. My other concern is regarding the damage to batteries when driven on village roads since they are placed underneath and battery warranty have many terms and conditions. I find Creta EV lucrative but it is a bit expensive. I am looking for something under the range of Rs. 15 lakh to 20 lakh. Please suggest 3-4 models of electric car that are available under my budget and specifications.

Hi Autocar team, I currently own a 2023 Tata Harrier and a 2011 Maruti Suzuki Alto. I use the Alto for my daily commute and the Harrier for long highway trips. I now want to replace the Alto with an EV for everyday use. I like the comfort and pricing of the MG Windsor Essence, but I am confused between the Windsor and the Tata Curvv EV. Which would you recommend?

Hi, I am planning to buy an EV with an on-road price within ₹20 lakhs. Can I consider the ZS EV? My daily commute is around 50-60 km, including 30-35 km of highway driving, with the rest being city driving. I need a spacious car with a good interior. I don’t like the Curvv or Windsor designs. I currently use a Nexon petrol, which I like.

One of the best options in the segment, it's a great mix of power, comfort, features, and mileage in diesel. Perfect for tech-savvy individuals and families, it offers unmatched comfort in this SUV segment. You can drive for hours without feeling tired. The only drawback is the mileage for petrol variants, and service experience can vary by location.

A very very good car , having all modern features. Suitable for all terrain drive and it's interior always have added extra energy to all it's seater. Mileage perspective is more than expectations and it is a good relief for customer. But it's higher model loaded with all , is lack of mat and mud flap, put the the customer in gusty mood as there's no scope of to make it fullfill from out side and ultimately make the new car filthy in rainy season.

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.

After driving, I felt the ADAS phantom braking issue needs to be fixed immediately with a mandatory software upgrade.
