Key Features of the Excite
The Excite focuses on the essentials that matter most in daily use. Inside, a 10.1-inch touchscreen supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so you can use maps and music without cables. In addition, the reclining Aero-Lounge rear seats and rear AC vents keep passengers comfortable. Outside, LED headlamps, LED DRLs, connected LED tail lamps and flush door handles give it the same modern look as pricier trims. Plus, a powered tailgate makes loading the big boot easy.
Safety on the Base Variant
Safety doesn’t take a back seat on the Excite. For example, it gets six airbags, ESP and disc brakes on all four wheels as standard. Moreover, an electric parking brake with auto hold helps a lot in stop-and-go city traffic. A tyre pressure monitoring system and rear parking sensors also come included.
Charging: Plan for the Slower Home Charger
The Excite comes with a 3.3 kW AC charger, which takes around 13 hours for a full charge. That works fine if you charge overnight every day. However, if you drive a lot, consider upgrading to the optional 7.4 kW wall box, which cuts the time roughly in half. On the highway, a 45 kW DC fast charger takes it from 20 to 80% in about 45 minutes.
Lower Upfront Cost With BaaS
MG also offers the Excite under its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) plan. With this option, you pay a much lower price for the car and rent the battery at about Rs 3.9 per km. As a result, the upfront cost drops by several lakh rupees. However, BaaS suits low-mileage users best, since the per-km rent adds up over long distances. Check your dealer for the latest BaaS price.
What You Miss on the Excite
To keep the price low, the Excite skips several features. Most notably, it uses 17-inch steel wheels with covers instead of alloys. It also misses the 15.6-inch GrandView screen, 360-degree camera, wireless charger and powered driver seat. Likewise, the glass roof, ventilated seats, Infinity audio and ADAS stay on higher trims.
Excite or Exclusive?
The Exclusive costs about Rs 1.30 lakh more. In return, it adds the big 15.6-inch screen, 18-inch diamond-cut alloys, a 360-degree camera, a wireless charger and leatherette seats. Therefore, the Excite makes sense for tight budgets or fleet use. Meanwhile, most private buyers will find the Exclusive better value.
