Best MG Electric Cars in India in 2024

Updated on: 23rd April, 2024 IST

MG Motor started its fairytale journey in India by launching India’s first-ever ‘Smart’ car in the form of the ZS EV. Even the next model from the British-origin carmaker was pretty unique in a way that it became the only premium electric car in India in its price bracket.

Over the years, MG Motor India has launched many new products but only one of the newer models is an EV. This electric car is special because it is the only three-door electric hatchback available in the country. In fact, it is the most affordable electric car in India.

There are many such qualities of the two EVs in the British carmaker’s line-up in India. So, let’s take a closer look at the Best MG Electric Cars in India in 2024.

MG ZS EV	Electric	SUV	461 km	₹21.99 lakh-₹27.40 lakh

1. MG ZS EV

The MG ZS EV is a well-rounded electric crossover that has found reasonable success in the Indian car market. The electric version of the company’s globally successful model offers an impressive driving range of 461 km, which is considerably higher than what some of the other cars in this bracket have to offer.

Additionally, the MG ZS EV comes with some great features such as a huge panoramic sunroof, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, iSmart connected car technology, electric seat adjustment, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto and others.

Moreover, the ZS EV even offers its occupants a plush interior and a comfortable ride. Plus, with over 174 bhp of power on the tap, performance is pretty brisk right from the get go. Also, clever vehicle packaging ensures a spacious cabin with a rather large boot space of 470 litres. Available at a starting price of ₹21.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the ZS EV offers a great bang for your buck.

2. MG Comet EV

The MG Comet EV is the latest electric car to go on sale in India. It’s also the least priced electric car in the market. Moreover, it’s the only Indian micro-car that has an electric powertrain. While all these things make the Comet pretty special, it’s important to note that the Comet comes with a rather impractical 3-door layout.

Also, while clever vehicle packaging ensures good space for the front passengers, the rear occupants get strictly average legroom. Moreover, the boot space is pretty dismal. However, the compact dimensions have their own set of benefits as they help you easily make your way on the crowded city streets.

Additionally, the small turning radius helps you make tight U-turns pretty easily. All said and done, the limited performance and range, along with the small cabin, makes the Comet a strictly urban runabout. That said, the ultra low running cost surely makes this electric car a great commuter.

Conclusion

Even though there are only two MG electric cars on sale in India in 2024, both these vehicles are special in their own way. While one is a premium electric crossover that offers a posh cabin, top of the food chain features, a high driving range, and a reliable brand image.

The other is a rather pocket friendly 3-door hatchback best for urban mobility. Both these cars are at par with similarly priced ICE alternatives in terms of performance and features. What’s even better is that MG plans to launch as many as 5 new electric cars in the remaining part of the ongoing decade. This is a clear indication that MG Motor India looks all set to become a force to reckon with in the flourishing Indian electric car market.
