MG Comet EV Excite

What the Excite Adds Over the Executive

The Excite costs about Rs 1.10 lakh more than the base Executive, and the upgrades show up every day. First, the 10.25-inch touchscreen brings wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so maps and music work without cables. Next, a rear parking camera makes reversing into tight spots much easier. Outside, LED headlamps and the connected LED light bar improve both looks and night visibility. In addition, power-folding mirrors protect the car in narrow lanes, and the driver’s window gets auto-up.

Connected Car Features

The Excite also unlocks MG’s i-SMART connected car suite. Through the app, you can lock or unlock the car, check the charge level and track its live location. Moreover, Hinglish voice commands let you control the AC and radio without taking your hands off the wheel. For families, geo-fencing and overspeed alerts add extra peace of mind when someone else drives.

Living With the Excite Every Day

In real-world city use, expect about 190 to 200 km per charge. For a typical 40 km daily commute, that means charging just twice a week. Since the Excite uses a 3.3 kW charger, plug it in overnight and it’ll be full by morning. On top of that, running costs stay very low. With home charging, you’ll spend roughly Rs 1 per km, depending on your electricity tariff.

Excite or Excite FC?

The Excite FC costs about Rs 27,000 more and adds 7.4 kW AC charging, which cuts a full charge to around 3.5 hours. If you charge overnight at home every day, the regular Excite is enough. However, if you rely on short top-ups at work or a shared charger, the FC version is worth the small extra cost.

What the Excite Misses

To keep the price in check, the Excite skips a few items found on the Exclusive. Most importantly, it doesn’t get ESC with hill hold, an electronic parking brake or rear disc brakes. It also uses fabric seats instead of leatherette. For about Rs 90,000 more, the Exclusive adds all of these.
