MG Comet EV Battery Subscription Plan: New Pricing Explained

For buyers who prefer the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, where the battery is rented separately based on usage, the prices are slightly different:

• Executive Variant: ₹4.99 lakh (no change)

• Excite Variant: ₹6.20 lakh (up by ₹15,000)

This model provides a lower upfront cost, with customers paying a per-kilometre battery rental fee instead of owning the battery outright.

Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) Rental Rate Hiked

In addition to the vehicle cost, MG Motor India has increased the per-kilometre rental price under the BaaS model. The rate has risen from ₹2.9 per kilometre to ₹3.1 per kilometre. While this is a small hike, it adds to the total cost of ownership over time for users opting for the flexible ownership scheme.

2025 MG Comet EV: New Feature Upgrades

MG has also introduced new features to make the Comet EV more appealing:

• Excite and Excite FC variants now include:

  • Rear parking camera

  • Power-folding outside rear view mirrors (ORVMs)

• Exclusive and Exclusive FC variants get:

  • Leatherette seat upholstery

  • 4-speaker audio system for enhanced in-cabin experience

These upgrades enhance convenience and comfort, making the EV more premium and practical for daily use.

Battery & Performance

The Fast Charging variants continue to be powered by a 17.4 kWh battery pack, offering a claimed driving range of up to 230 km on a single charge. This makes the MG Comet EV a suitable option for city commuting and short intercity trips.

Conclusion

With the latest price revision and feature updates, MG Motor India aims to offer a more refined and premium experience with the Comet EV. However, the back-to-back price hikes and increase in battery rental charges may affect its affordability, especially for cost-conscious buyers. Whether you opt for the battery ownership model or the BaaS plan, it's essential to evaluate the total cost of ownership before making a purchase.
