MG Comet EV prices hiked by ₹15,000, battery subscription also gets costlier
MG Comet EV: Price Revision
The new pricing applies to both ownership options: one with the battery included in the car's cost, and another with a battery subscription plan. For buyers of the Comet EV, who opt for buying the vehicle without the battery subscription, the Executive variant is available at ₹7.50 lakh, a ₹14,000 hike from the earlier price of ₹7.36 lakh. The Excite as well as the Excite Fast Charging models have had their prices hiked by ₹15,000 each, and are now available at ₹8.57 lakh as well as ₹8.97 lakh, respectively. The Exclusive variant too has increased by ₹15,000, reaching an ex-showroom price of ₹9.56 lakh. The Exclusive Fast Charging and Blackstorm Edition variants too have received relatively smaller increases of ₹14,000 each, and are priced at ₹9.97 lakh and ₹10 lakh respectively.
For buyers choosing the battery subscription plan, where the battery is leased out separately at a per-kilometre rate, the alterations are a little varied. The starting Executive trim remains tagged at ₹4.99 lakh, with no revision. But all the other variants in this model have seen a ₹15,000 hike. The Excite model now comes at ₹6.20 lakh, while the Excite Fast Charging model is priced at ₹6.60 lakh. Likewise, the Exclusive and Exclusive Fast Charging models now come at ₹7.20 lakh and ₹7.60 lakh respectively. The Blackstorm Edition under the BaaS scheme now comes for ₹7.63 lakh, again with a ₹15,000 increase.

MG Comet EV: Battery-as-a-Service cost also increased
Apart from the price increase across models, MG has also updated the price of its Battery-as-a-Service rental model. Earlier, customers who availed the flexible ownership option were paying ₹2.9 per kilometre for the use of the batteries. The price has been raised to ₹3.1 per kilometre now. The move implies that customers driving longer distances will have a greater total cost of ownership under the subscription option.

It's a beauty and a beast
If all cars in India were to walk a fashion ramp, the MG Cyberster would steal the show. This open-roof, two-seater electric sports car, with scissor doors that swing upwards like the wings of a bird, is unmistakably a head-turner. At the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) in Greater Noida, I had the chance to see first-hand this stunning machine. Here are my thoughts. Looks The Cyberster is designed to grab eyeballs. Aerodynamic and sleek from every angle, its design takes inspiration from MG's legendary British roadsters — the classic open-roof, two-seater sports cars. This is the first electric avatar of the MG roadster. A soft-top convertible with scissor doors is a world-first in car design. And Cyberster is currently the only electric car in India with a fully retractable soft roof. Inside, the cabin is sporty, tech-laden and premium. The seats, true to sports car style, are snug but not too low. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is 4-way adjustable and comfortable to grip, while the seats are six-way adjustable. The cockpit is entirely driver-centric, with three digital screens (7-inch + 10.25-inch + 7-inch) providing a wealth of information. The scissor doors open and close at the touch of a button. Thanks to integrated sensors, they open at safe angles, even in tight spaces. The roof can be opened or closed in just 10 seconds — even while driving at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
