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 EV that I need for a daily commute 170 km out which 80 km is on expressway. Rest is on state highway and city with heavy vehicle traffic. I am looking for a comfortable 7-seater for long term for at least next 8-10 years. I am inclined towards MG Tomahawk top trim and XEV 9s pack two Above 70kWh. Please advise.

I've been using Kia Syros from a year and I love the size, the rich cabin and how all of its electronics work fuss free. We've driven for around 5000 km in a year which understandably isn't a lot. I plan to take the car to intercity/state in future. Now, I'm considering an EV Car strictly for city use and I've narrowed down to MG Comet for its size. I'm not worried about pricing as I'm certain what I'm getting. My question is, if there is any small car launch planned during the next 6 months or should I go ahead with Comet? How's MG's Battery Health Calibration done? I haven't seen any elaborate discussion in ranking or refinement on which brand does best/worst battery optimization.

6d

Sir, the Mahindra XEV 9S with a 59kWh battery has a claimed range of 521km, while the MG Hector Tomahawk with a larger 69.2kWh battery has a claimed range of 517km. Do you really think the MG Tomahawk would deliver a lower range than the XEV 9S despite having a larger battery?

4d

The MG Hector Tomahawk EV has a 69.2kWh battery, which is 10.2kWh larger than the 59kWh unit in the Mahindra XEV 9S, yet both have almost identical claimed ranges of around 517km and 521km, respectively. What is the main reason for this difference: lower vehicle efficiency, aerodynamics, powertrain efficiency or battery characteristics? Based on your testing, would you expect the Tomahawk’s real-world range to be higher or lower than that of the XEV 9S 59kWh?

5d

Hi, I am looking to buy a car. I like the Syros EV Blackline as well as the Duster Iconic Launch Edition. My commute is about 70km per week for office, and I would try to take a day trip over the weekend at least once a month, along with longer 700km round trips once every 3-4 months. I am seeking advice on what makes the most sense for my usage. I am also open to other suggestions. Also, if I choose the Duster, should I wait for the Duster Hybrid? What advice would you give?

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.

Product and features are good, but suspension I feel but bumpy a smoother suspension is expected in such a luxury car. Also the interior options are missing as the colour is bound to be dirty and required frequently detailing services. Also handbrake option is bit uncomfortable.

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.

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.

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.

Absolute nightmare. Avoid this car and this company at all costs.I bought an MG ZS EV, and it has become completely worthless. The charger went faulty, making the entire car useless, and nobody will replace it.The customer service is nonexistent, and they refuse to take responsibility. They are fraud people who will happily take your money when you buy the vehicle, but completely abandon you the moment something goes wrong.Do not trust MG with your money. Selling an electric vehicle without providing any working charging support or replacement parts is an absolute scam. 1 out of 5 stars.
