MG Motor India is doing everything possible to bring in more customers to its showrooms. After slashing down prices of its entire portfolio, MG is now making crucial updates to its lineup. The Chinese-owned British brand has now launched two new variants of the Comet EV named Excite FC and Exclusive FC.
Priced at Rs 8.24 lakh and Rs 9.14 lakh, respectively, the Excite FC and the Exclusive FC trims come with fast charging options. Price for the micro electric hatch starts at Rs 6.99 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). In fact, MG has renamed the previous nomenclature of Push, Play, and Pace in favour of Executive, Excite, and Exclusive.
