MG Motor has done the unthinkable. When all automobile manufacturers have hiked the prices, MG has bowled a googly and has slashed prices across its entire portfolio.

Apart from the revision of prices, the company has also launched the new ZS EV Executive variant, making it Rs 1 lakh cheaper than the ZS EV Excite.

MG Motor has reduced the price of the entire Comet EV range. The entry-level Pace trim starts from Rs 6.99 lakh, a price cut of Rs 99,000. The other two versions, Play and Push, are off by Rs 1.4 lakh and are available at Rs 7.88 lakh and Rs 8.58 lakh respectively. It is not only the most affordable EV in the country but it is an electric vehicle from the ground up and is packed with features. It is powered by a 17.3 kWh battery and has an output of 41.4 bhp and 110Nm. According to MG, the Comet EV offers a driving range of 230 km on a single charge. With a 3.3kW charger, the four-seater EV takes 7.7 hours to be fully juiced and from 0 to 80 per cent in 5.5 hours. The Comet EV's closet rival, the Tata Tiago EV, starts from Rs 8.69 lakh, ex-showroom.
