Mahindra and MG Motor to hike prices of cars from this date: Here’s by how much

Mahindra and JSW MG Motor India are two new brands that have joined the growing list of carmakers that have hiked their prices. M&M and JSW MG Motor will hike their prices from January 2025 by up to three percent. Apart from these two brands, automakers including Maruti, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Audi, and BMW have announced a price increase starting with the new calendar year. Mahindra stated that the price revision is driven by inflation and higher commodity prices and MG Motor India said that the rise in input costs and other external factors have resulted in the price correction.

JSW MG Motor currently sells seven models in India which include Comet EV, Astor, Windsor EV, Hector, Hector Plus, ZS EV, and the Gloster. The company recently confirmed that it will launch the MG Cyberster electric sports car in India. The MG Cyberster, first unveiled in 2021 and showcased at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, is built on a new platform derived from the 2017 E-Motion coupe concept. The EV features sleek LED headlights with DRLs, a sculpted bonnet, and a split air intake. At the rear, it has arrow-shaped tail lights and a split diffuser. The Cyberster’s side profile includes sharp cuts and creases, with diamond-cut alloy wheels ranging from 19 to 20 inches.

The Cyberster is offered with two battery and motor options abroad. The entry-level model will feature a 64kWh battery and a single 308 hp rear axle-mounted electric motor, offering a range of 520 km. The higher variant will have a 77kWh battery, dual motors producing 535 hp and 725Nm of torque, a range of 580 km, and can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 3.2 seconds. There is still no info on which variant will be bought to India. However, we expect the brand will bring in the top-of-the-line dual motor variant with 77 kWh battery pack.

Talking about recent activity from Mahindra, the company launched the much anticipated Be 6 and XEV 9e EVs in the Indian market. Both EVs have garnered the attention of many consumers with their brilliant pricing, unique futuristic design, features, technology, and performance. Mahindra has only announced the price for the base trim of the XEV 9e and Be 6 called Pack One, which does not include the charger and is available for separate purchases. The XEV 9e is priced at Rs 21.9 lakh and the Be 6 is priced at Rs 18.9 lakh (both prices ex-showroom, introductory). Both variants also come with a smaller 59kWh battery pack.
