MG Comet, Astor, Hector, ZS EV 100-Year Limited Editions Launched in India

Morris Garages (MG) turns 100 this year, and to commemorate this special occasion, the Chinese-owned British manufacturer MG has launched special-edition versions of the Comet, Astor, Hector, and ZS EV in India. They are called the '100-Year Limited Edition' models and pay homage to the classic 'British Racing Green' shade and feature a special green paint, which MG calls Evergreen. However, MG’s Gloster appears to be missing out on this special treatment. While the exact reason behind this absence is not known, it could be because of the upcoming facelift of the flagship MG Gloster, which is expected to arrive on our market in late 2024. 

Besides the green paint, the special editions get a black roof and a '100-Year Edition' badging on the tailgate. Move inside, and you'll find an all-black cabin with green inserts and '100-Year Limited Edition' embroidered onto the front headrests. Moreover, there is an Evergreen-themed infotainment system along with a customisable widget colour.
