MG Hector, Gloster and Comet EV prices slashed

Prices for the Hector petrol now start from Rs 14.94 lakh while the diesel variants are now priced from Rs 17.50 lakh.

The Gloster and Comet EV see even greater price cuts. Prices for the Gloster now start at Rs 37.49 lakh – down by Rs 1.31 lakh – while the Comet EV is now priced from Rs 6.99 lakh – down by Rs 99,000. For reference, the diesel variants Toyota Fortuner – Gloster’s only current rival – is priced from Rs 35.93 lakh. The Comet EV does not have any direct rival in India.  

However, a detailed price list isn’t available just yet as MG has only revealed the starting prices for now. “This has been made possible due to increased localisation, long-term freight contracts, streamlined logistics, supply chain improvement, and long-term key commodities cost rationalisation,” said Gaurav Gupta, Deputy Managing Director, MG Motor India.

ZS EV gets new Executive trim

MG has also launched a new entry-level Executive trim of the ZS EV that’s priced at Rs 18.98 lakh. This new trim brings down the starting price of the ZS EV by a whopping Rs 3.9 lakh from the Excite trim that’s priced at Rs 22.88 lakh. It remains mechanically unchanged, although a few features must have been deleted to achieve that aggressive price. MG, however, hasn’t revealed the exact details of the equipment available on the ZS EV Executive variant.
