MG Motor India has updated the pricing of its Comet EV range, and it’s a move that’s turning heads. Known as one of the most affordable electric cars in India, the Comet EV has now become a bit pricier. But before you panic, let’s break down what’s changed, how much extra you’re paying, and whether it’s still worth it.
The brand has also rolled out the 2025 version of the EV with feature upgrades — so it’s not all bad news.
Pricing
Let’s start with the new price tags. The MG Comet EV now starts at Rs. 7.35 lakh (ex-showroom), with a maximum increase of Rs. 35,700 depending on the variant. Not all versions saw the same hike, though. For instance, the Excite variant is now Rs. 16,000 more expensive, while some premium versions only went up by Rs. 5,300.
Here’s a breakdown of the updated prices:
| Variant | Old Price (Approx.) | New Price (Ex-Showroom) | Price Hike |
|---|---|---|---|
| Executive | ~Rs. 6.99 lakh | Rs. 7.35 lakh | Rs. 35,700 |
| Excite | ~Rs. 7.62 lakh | Rs. 7.78 lakh | Rs. 16,000 |
| Excite FC | ~Rs. 7.75 lakh | Rs. 7.79 lakh | Rs. 4,000 |
| Exclusive | ~Rs. 8.39 lakh | Rs. 8.44 lakh | Rs. 5,300 |
| Exclusive FC | ~Rs. 8.51 lakh | Rs. 8.56 lakh | Rs. 5,300 |
| Blackstorm Edition | ~Rs. 9.79 lakh | Rs. 9.84 lakh | Rs. 5,300 |
| 100-Year Edition | Rs. 9.84 lakh | Rs. 9.84 lakh | No Change |
So now, depending on your pick, the Comet EV costs anywhere between Rs. 7.35 lakh and Rs. 9.84 lakh.
Features
MG is trying to balance the price increase with new features in the 2025 edition. And some of them are actually pretty useful if you’re planning to use this as a city runabout.
Here’s what’s new:
- Reverse parking camera for easier parking
- Electrically foldable ORVMs for tight spots
- Leatherette seats for a premium feel
- Four-speaker setup for improved sound
These aren’t game-changing, but they add enough value to take the sting off the price hike.
Variants
MG isn’t holding back when it comes to choices. Buyers get to choose from seven different variants:
- Executive
- Excite
- Excite FC
- Exclusive
- Exclusive FC
- Blackstorm Edition
- 100-Year Edition
Each one offers a slightly different flavor of features and aesthetics, so it’s easier to find something that fits your budget and style.
Verdict
So, is the MG Comet EV still worth buying? Despite the price bump, it still holds the crown for being one of the most accessible electric vehicles in the Indian market. With EVs becoming more mainstream, slight price revisions are expected — especially when new features are added.
If you’re in the market for a small, easy-to-drive EV with decent features, the Comet still checks the right boxes. Just know that you’ll need to stretch your budget a little more than before.
