MG Motors to launch an EV at Rs 10 to 15 lakh by end of next fiscal. EDIT: Named Comet EV

Mod Note: Our MG Comet EV Review has been taken live at this link. Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks!

MG Motors India MD Rajeev Chaba told the media that they will launch an EV at a price between Rs 10 to 15 lakhs by end of next fiscal (by March 2023).

"It is actually a kind of a crossover and this is going to be based on a global platform, which we are going to develop and this will be an EV for the mass market for all the emerging markets including India," Chaba said. For India, he said, "We will customize this car for the range and the Indian regulations and customer taste...It will be specially tailored for India. We will start working on it right now."

Bullish on the planned EV, he said, "This is the kind of tipping point that we have been talking about that if we are able to do a car between ₹10 lakh and ₹15 lakh that can give us good volumes. So hopefully, this would be our volume EV car."

MG also trying to increase the production of ZS EV to 500+ units a month by February. The company has more than 2000 orders pending currently while it is able to supply only 250 to 300 units a month.

New proposed forum rules for any news from MG motors: Only one news item every two months containing the words/phrases: "aim to", "plan", "will take on", "sold out", "propose" and "rumour". Mod Gods please accept this humble prayer

New 2022 MG4 to arrive as budget alternative to VW ID.3

MG looks set to offer a family-hatch sized electric car with new a MG4 nameplate, and here is how it could look like:

MG Motors to launch an EV at Rs 10 to 15 lakh by end of next fiscal. EDIT: Named Comet EV-mg4-exclusive-images2.jpg

Quote:
MG has already confirmed the size of the vehicle, at 4.3 metres long, putting the MG4 into competition with family hatchbacks such as the Volkswagen Golf. And given the all-electric powertrain, the MG4 will be a rival for cars such as the Volkswagen ID.3, Citroen e-C4 and upcoming Peugeot e-308, albeit with a more budget-friendly ethos.
Quote:
No technical specifications have been alluded to, but the MG4’s dimensions overlap with the ZS’s, so it’s possible that the new car will share the same platform, battery and electric motor technology as the brand’s budget electric SUV. MG has just given the ZS EV a major update, including new batteries, and there’s a fresh Long Range version of the car using a 73kWh battery capable of 273 miles on a single charge, according to WLTP certification.

A standard-battery version employs a 51kWh pack for a 198-mile range, although in the smaller, lower-riding MG4 this would probably be able to take the car beyond the 200-mile mark.
Quote:
If the MG4 is to sit below the ZS in terms of cost, a starting price around £26,000 for a potential standard-battery version seems likely

Exciting, picture seems to be from their Indian plant at Halol. Good exciting days ahead for EV enthusiasts. This might see the Altroz EV brought up front soon.

The pic. is off the SAIC production line from its Ningde plant. Codenamed MG EH32 (CyberE) it has been made with a collaboration between the British team and the Chinese team at SAIC.

Quote:
MG’s product planning slides that were shown at an internal presentation revealed that Cyber will be used in the names of the new EV series.
Quote:
the CyberE will be released on the latest EV platform which supports level 3 autonomous driving, a smart cockpit, and 5G connectivity
Quote:
Speculations suggest that the powertrain used in the new MG EV will be similar to the one used in the MG Marvel R. It comes in either a 288 hp twin motor configuration or a 284 tri-motor setup and is already on sale in European markets.
The biggest opponent in the market for the MG CyberE hatchback is the Volkswagen ID.3.

The new MG is supposed to rival the VW Id3(£32k +), Kia EV6 (£34k +), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (£35k +) etc.... so that's ballpark Rs 30-40 lacs starting.

The Rs 10 to 15 lakh in the title looks misleading and highly unlikely, OR the company is talking about an altogether different small car.

MG Motor India’s second EV to be priced between Rs 10-15 lakh.

- MG’s new EV will be launched in India in H1 2023

- The model will be positioned below the ZS EV

Quote:
The brand has confirmed that the model will be based on an international platform and will be positioned below the ZS EV in the Indian market.
Expect the new MG EV to return a range of approximately 300km on a single charge.
