      MG Comet EV Prices Hiked Up To Rs 15k – Now Starts Rs 7.5L

      by

      MG Comet EVEven with the price increase, MG Comet EV continues to be the most affordable electric car in the mainstream segment
      MG Motor had increased prices of Comet EV twice in 2025, once in February and next in May as well. Prices have again been increased for the third time, post which, MG Comet EV is now available at a starting price of Rs 7.50 lakh. Let’s take a look at the price hike of all variants of Comet EV.
      MG Comet EV New Prices – July 2025
      MG Comet EV is offered in three broad trims – Executive, Excite and Exclusive. There’s a special Blackstorm Edition as well. Price of the base Executive variant has been increased by Rs 14,300. With that, the base variant is now available at Rs 7.50 lakh. Comet EV Excite and Exclusive variants have witnessed a price hike of Rs 15,000 each. These are now available at Rs 8.57 lakh and Rs 9.56 lakh, respectively (all prices Ex-sh).
      Comet EV Excite FC and Exclusive FC variants are now priced at Rs 8.97 lakh and Rs 9.97 lakh, respectively. Top-spec Blackstorm Edition has become costlier by Rs 13,700. It is now available at a starting price of Rs 10 lakh. Increased pricing for MG Comet EV is applicable with immediate effect (all prices Ex-sh).
      Even with a starting price of Rs 7.50 lakh, MG Comet EV works out more affordable than its primary rivals. For example, Tata Tiago EV is available at a starting price of Rs 7.99 lakh. Citroen eC3 is priced much higher at Rs 11.99 lakh. Later this year, MG Comet EV could see a new rival in the form of Renault Kwid EV. Test vehicles have been spotted multiple times in recent months. Renault Kwid EV could be launched at around Rs 7 lakh (base variant) (all prices Ex-sh).
      MG Comet EV
      More accessible with BaaS
      MG Motor’s industry-first BaaS program has been a major success. If we look at MG’s sales breakup, the Windsor EV is the top selling car. Comet EV is the second bestseller, contributing close to 15% to the brand’s overall sales volumes. A number of buyers choose the BaaS ownership program, as it significantly reduces the initial acquisition cost. Paying the battery charges per kilometre is a lot easier to fit within the monthly budget.
      Under the BaaS ownership program for Comet EV, the battery rental is currently Rs 3.1 per km. Earlier, it was Rs 2.9 per km. At the time of Comet EV launch, the battery rental was Rs 2.50 per km. With the BaaS program, the base Executive variant can be purchased at just Rs 4.99 lakh.
      MG Comet Excite variant under BaaS is available at Rs 6.20 lakh. The Excite FC will cost Rs 6.60 lakh, whereas the Exclusive starts at Rs 7.20 lakh. MG Comet EV Exclusive FC variant is available at Rs 7.60 lakh under the BaaS program. Top-spec Blackstorm Edition starts at just Rs 7.63 lakh. Since none of the rivals currently have BaaS or similar options, MG Comet EV has a definitive advantage. More

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e – New Variants Homologated, Details

      by

      Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6 New Variants Homologated
      With the launch of BE 6 and XEV 9e, Mahindra has set a new precedent for electric vehicles in India to follow. These are easily the most exciting and futuristic electric vehicles to have ever launched in mainstream Indian car market.
      Recently, Mahindra expanded the variant lineup of BE 6 and XEV 9e with Pack Two B79 variants, which outshined the competition with immense VFM quotient. Mahindra will further expand the variant lineup as suggested by recent homologation documents that have leaked on the internet. Let’s take a closer look.
      BE 6 and XEV 9e 4 New Variants
      After launching Pack Two B79 variants of BE 6 and XE 9e, Mahindra is applying a similar strategy to further expand the variant lineup. This time, Mahindra has turned its gaze towards Pack Three and Pack Three Select trim levels to carve out more variants with versatile battery options to have a wider reach than what was announced at launch.
      Mahindra BE 6 New Variants Homologated
      Speaking of announcements at launch, BE 6 and XEV 9e Pack Two trim was strictly limited to a 59 kWh battery pack. This was changed recently based on customer feedback and Mahindra launched Pack Two with a larger 79 kWh battery pack. Now we can see new variants carved out of BE 6 and XEV 9e based on a similar strategy.
      As per the leaked documents, Mahindra has created more variants of Pack Three and Pack Three Select trim levels of BE 6 and XEV 9e. At launch, Pack Three Select trim of BE 6 and XEV 9e was strictly limited to a 59 kWh battery and the top-spec Pack Three of BE 6 and XEV 9e only got a larger 79 kWh battery pack.
      Where do they fit in?
      Now, BE 6 and XEV 9e will soon get Pack Three Select B79 (79 kWh battery) and Pack Three B59 (59 kWh battery) variants. This means, Pack Three Select trim will get an option for a larger 79 kWh battery pack which promises a range of up to 656 km and Pack Three trim will get an option for a smaller 59 kWh battery pack.
      Mahindra XEV 9e New Variants Homologated
      These new variants will cater to buyers looking for more features than Pack Two B79 with a larger battery pack for range needs and buyers who don’t need all that range, but crave for all the bells and whistles BE 6 and XEV 9e offers. When launched, Pack Three Select B79 and Pack Three B59 variants of BE 6 and XEV 9e are likely to boost sales further. More

      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied – Gets Cruise Control, New Cluster

      by

      2026 Hero Glamour 125 SpiedCommuter motorcycles are usually not the first to get cutting-edge features—especially those found in flagship models. But Hero MotoCorp seems to be rewriting that script. The brand is currently testing what appears to be the next-gen Hero Glamour 125, and it surprisingly features cruise control—a feature even the company’s flagship Mavrick 440 doesn’t offer yet.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spotted on Test
      While cruise control might seem like a feature better suited to the Mavrick 440, the Xpulse 210, or the upcoming Xpulse 440 (unofficial name), Hero is testing it on a budget commuter. The test mule—believed to be the 2026 Glamour 125—was spotted with full camouflage, which interestingly looks more like brown duct tape than traditional test covers.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      The inclusion of cruise control on this test bike hints that Hero might be adapting a similar system to what’s already available on its Vida electric scooters. And although there’s no official confirmation, the test unit’s fuel tank lid matches that of the current Glamour 125, and sources familiar with the project confirm it is indeed the next-gen Glamour.
      What Does the Test Mule Reveal?
      The spied motorcycle bears all the trademarks of a budget commuter: basic triple-tree setup, conventional RSU telescopic forks, commuter-style foot pegs, saree guard, fully-enclosed chain cover, single-piece seat, and a functional rear grab rail. It’s clearly designed for daily usability.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      That said, there are several upgrades over the current Glamour 125. These include:
      – LED turn indicators– Fully digital color LCD instrument cluster (possibly borrowed from the Xtreme 250)– Updated switchgear– Cruise control system
      Powering the motorcycle is likely to be the same 124.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine producing 10.7 bhp and 10.6 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
      2026 Hero Glamour 125 Spied
      Why This Is a Big Deal
      Hero’s decision to test cruise control on a 125cc commuter rather than reserving it for premium models indicates a shift in how technology trickles through its lineup. If this system is being validated successfully, expect to see cruise control on more premium Hero bikes like the Xpulse 210, Mavrick 440, Xtreme 250R, and even the upcoming Xoom 160 scooter.
      When launched, the 2026 Hero Glamour 125 will compete against other premium 125cc commuters such as the TVS Raider 125 and the soon to be launched Honda CB125 Hornet. There’s no confirmed launch timeline yet, nor do we know if this version is intended for the Indian market. Stay tuned for more updates as testing continues. More

      2025 Yezdi Roadster Spied Ahead Of 12th Aug Launch – New Details

      by

      2025 Yezdi Roadster Spied Ahead Of LaunchWhile receiving multiple design updates, the new Yezdi Roadster will remain mechanically unchanged for the most part
      Following the launch of 2025 Yezdi Adventure, it’s now the turn of Yezdi Roadster to receive new updates. The 2025 version is scheduled to debut on 12th August. Ahead of that, test mule spy shots reveal some interesting details about the potential changes. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster – Key changes
      Primary design changes are with tail lamp and turn indicators been moved up, integrated with the rear section of the seat assembly. Rear fender has been chopped off, likely to give the motorcycle a more compact and agile-looking profile. This necessitates the registration number plate to be mounted on the swingarm.
      While the test vehicle does not have a pillion backrest, it could be offered as an accessory. In the spy shot, it also appears that the pillion seat is smaller in size. This change could be aimed at achieving a cruiser-like look and feel. There can be other updates as well, but these are not evident since the image only captures the rear section.
      2025 Yezdi Roadster continues with the dual exhaust setup and round rear-view mirrors. Tail lamp and turn indicators with the current model have a round shape. Since the 2025 Yezdi Roadster gets sharper indicators at the rear, a similar treatment can be expected at the front as well.
      Current Yezdi Roadster
      Other retro features will be carried forward such as the round headlamp and circular instrument dial. The features list of Yezdi Roadster varies based on the variant. For example, the Chrome variants see liberal use of metallic finish on the rear-view mirrors, engine, exhaust and rear suspension.
      In comparison, the Dark and dual-tone variants have these parts in a blacked-out finish. While the Yezdi Roadster already offers ample colour options, its visuals could be further enhanced with the addition of bold new graphics. A similar approach was seen with select variants of the 2025 Yezdi Adventure.
      Specs, performance
      There are unlikely to be any major changes to the hardware. Powering the bike is a 334 cc, single cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC engine. It generates 29 PS and 29.40 Nm of peak torque and is paired with a constant mesh, 6-speed gearbox. Similar to the recently launched 2025 Yezdi Adventure, the engine of the updated Roadster can see optimizations to its gear ratios and fuel mapping. Primary objective would be to achieve a smoother ride experience and potentially some gains in fuel efficiency.
      Current Yezdi Roadster Colour Options
      Yezdi Roadster uses a double cradle frame, with 41 mm telescopic front forks. At the rear, the bike has gas-filled twin shock absorbers with 5-step adjustable preload. Wheel setup is 18-inch front and 17-inch rear, wrapped in 100/90 and 130/80 tubeless tyres, respectively. Braking setup comprises 320 mm and 240 discs at front and rear, with dual-channel ABS. The bike has a seat height of 790 mm, useful for enhanced control and agile manoeuvres.
      2025 Yezdi Adventure could see a slight bump in its pricing. The current model is available at a starting price of Rs 2.11 lakh. Updated Yezdi Roadster will continue to rival the likes of Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Honda H’ness CB350. Yezdi will also be launching the 2025 Yezdi Scrambler on 12th August.

      Hero Karizma XMR Base Variant De-Listed From Website – Discontinued?

      by

      Hero Karizma XMR 210
      Despite having a lot of potential, Hero Karizma XMR 210 continues to be an underrated motorcycle in India. This supersport machine packs a sporty design, attractive colourways, impressive equipment and came at an attractive price point of Rs 1.81 lakh (Ex-sh) for the base ‘Base’ variant.
      We said came instead of comes because Hero has de-listed this base ‘Base’ variant from the website, hinting at a possible discontinuation. As per data available from Hero website, Karizma XMR 210 now starts from Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh) for the top ‘Top’ variant which packs all the bells and whistles. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Hero Karizma XMR 210 Combat Edition
      Hero Karizma XMR Base Variant
      Just a couple of months ago, Hero MotoCorp updated Karizma XMR 210’s ‘Top’ variant with improved features. We’re talking about a new fully digital colour TFT instrument cluster which is similar to the one seen on Xpulse 210. This cluster comes equipped with Bluetooth and a host of features including music control and turn-by-turn navigation.
      Also, componentry saw a major upgrade as the 2025 Karizma XMR 210 ‘Top’ variant came equipped with USD telescopic front forks that are finished in a lovely Gold shade. This was a much-needed upgrade for Karizma to fully unlock its potential as a supersport machine.
      2025 Hero Karizma Updated – Top Variant Colours
      We’re mentioning these because this is the new identity of Karizma XMR 210 as the previously offered ‘Base’ variant seems to have been discontinued. Priced at Rs 1.81 lakh (Ex-sh), this base variant packed RSU telescopic front forks and its older LCD instrument cluster which was functional, but lacklustre.
      One Fully-Loaded Variant
      With this move, Hero Karizma XMR 210’s pricing starts from Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh) and there is only one fully loaded top-spec ‘Top’ trim level to choose from. Colour options are Iconic Yellow, Turbo Red and Phantom Black. Hero also offers a special edition with Karizma XMR 210 ‘Top’ called Combat Edition which costs Rs 2.02 lakh (Ex-sh).
      2025 Hero Karizma Updated TFT Instrument Cluster
      The discontinuation of ‘Base’ variant is likely to streamline Karizma customers’ buying decision as there are no variants anymore. All bells and whistles are now standard. Karizma XMR 210 continues with the same liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl engine that is capable of generating 25.5 PS of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox.

      11 Features MG M9 Gets Over Toyota Vellfire – At Almost Half The Price

      by

      Toyota Vellfire (left), MG M9 (right)JSW MG M9 Presidential Limousine has been launched in India for an attractive price point of Rs 69.9 lakh (Ex-sh). Where on-road price is concerned, MG M9 undercuts all of its rivals in India, including the Kia Carnival. Among the luxury MPVs in India, is Toyota Vellfire, which has established itself quite well in the country.
      Where pricing is concerned, Toyota Vellfire starts from Rs 1.22 Cr for Hi variant and costs Rs 1.33 Cr for top-spec VIP – Executive Lounge variant (both prices Ex-sh). In contrast, MG M9 is launched in India in just one loaded Presidential Limousine variant that costs almost half of what Vellfire does. In this post, let’s take a closer look at 10 things MG M9 offers over Toyota Vellfire.
      MG M9 Size
      1. Size Advantage
      Toyota Vellfire is already a large vehicle with immense room on the inside. MG M9, on the other hand, is simply larger in terms of dimensions. Bringing numbers into the equation, MG M9 is 265 mm longer, 150 mm wider and has a 200 mm longer wheelbase than Vellfire. This translates to better road presence and more room on the inside.
      2. Higher Ground Clearance
      Not only is the MG M9 larger than Vellfire, but also has higher ground clearance. M9 has a ground clearance of 180 mm, as opposed to 160 mm of Vellfire. Both vehicles get 19-inch alloy wheels.
      3. More Airbags
      Toyota Vellfire offers 6 airbags even on its top-spec VIP – Executive Lounge. In contrast, MG M9 offers 7 airbags as standard.
      4. Better Crash Safety Rating
      Toyota Vellfire has been crash tested by JNCAP (Japanese NCAP) where the luxury MPV has scored 4 Star crash safety rating out of 5. In comparison, MG M9 has scored a full-fat 5 Star crash safety rating in ANCAP (Australian NCAP) and 5 Star crash safety rating in Euro NCAP, which is considered to be the most stringent in the world.
      MG M9 Rear Seat
      5. Better Ingress Into 3rd Row
      In a Toyota Vellfire, the narrow interiors allow for a little passage to access 3rd row seats which is accessed by moving 2nd row seats all the way front. Cabin space in MG M9 is so immense, one can just walk between 2nd row seats, which is a much better solution.
      6. Driver’s Seat Flexibility
      In MG M9, driver’s seat is 12-way electrically adjustable when compared to Vellfire’s 8-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat. Also, both the front seats get a massaging function, which is not the case with Vellfire. In addition, there’s a driver monitoring camera in MG M9 too.
      MG M9 Sunroofs
      7. Proper Sunroof (s)
      Toyota Vellfire gets two narrow glass roofs above both 2nd row seats which only give a tiny viewing area and they don’t open either. In comparison, MG M9 gets two sunroofs and both of them can open to let air in. First row gets a single-pane sunroof and second row gets a massive panoramic sunroof.
      8. More Flexibility in 2nd Row Seats
      Both MG M9 and Toyota Vellfire offer throne like experience with their 2nd row seats. In Vellfire, 2nd row seats are 8-way electrically adjustable and MG M9 offers twice that as they are 16-way electrically adjustable. Also, there are 3 memory settings for 2nd row seats of M9, where Vellfire only has 1.
      MG M9 Digital IRVM
      9. Better Mirrors (ORVMs, IRVM)
      MG M9 offers heated ORVMs, which Vellfire lacks. Where IRVM is concerned, MG offers a digital IRVM for versatility. This IRVM has multiple settings too. These include zoom, position, brightness and saturation.
      10. Self-sealing Tyres
      MG M9 offers self-sealing tyres as it runs on 19-inch ContiSeal tyres that can self repair punctures to certain extent. This feature is missing on Toyota Vellfire.
      MG M9 Ambient Lighting
      11. Better Ambient Lighting
      Toyota Vellfire has ambient lighting features too with 14 colour options. MG M9, however, takes it up a notch with a more extensive ambient lighting and offers 64 colours to choose from. More
