The Comet EV special edition is offered on the top-spec Exclusive FC variation, which was added a while back, while the Astor, Hector, and ZS EV special editions are based on the mid-spec variants. This limited edition is available on both the manual and CVT versions of the Astor small SUV from MG.
This limited edition Hector is available with both a 5-seater and a 7-seater (Hector Plus) configuration and with a choice of gasoline or diesel engines. The Hector and Hector Plus gasoline manual versions are not compatible with this special edition, and MG has not yet disclosed the cost of the diesel versions.
Modifications
This special edition is available for all MG vehicles. Inspired by the British Racing Green color, the façade features a black roof along with other blacked-out details in the hue “Evergreen.” Black or dark chrome components have taken the place of the outside chrome pieces. A “100-Year Edition” badging is also added to the tailgate of all models.
The interior of these editions is completely black, with a black dashboard, green and black upholstery, and ‘100-Year Edition’ badging on the headrests of the front seats. These premium models also include a customizable widget and an “Evergreen” colored motif for the touchscreen infotainment system.
Additional Special Editions
The Astor, Hector, and Gloster are also available in a “Blackstorm” edition, which has an all-black exterior and interior with red inserts. This is not the only special edition in MG’s portfolio. Those limited editions don’t look quite as unique as this 100-Year Edition, though.

News & Top StoriesHere Are 5 Advantages The Maruti Dzire 2024 May Have Over The Current Model
The new-generation Maruti Swift is anticipated to be released shortly, followed by the 2024 Maruti Dzire. It is anticipated that the new generation Dzire will have an improved petrol engine, a plethora of new amenities, and a revamped exterior and interior appearance. The main improvements over the current model that the 2024 Dzire is anticipated to bring are listed below.
A brand-new 9-inch touchscreen
A significant upgrade anticipated for the Maruti Dzire of 2024 is the larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This entertainment system is available with various Maruti vehicles, including the Baleno, Fronx, Grand Vitara, and Jimny. It also supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that comes standard with the latest Maruti Dzire only supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto when connected via a wire.
Sunroof
Based on internet claims of spy test mules, the next generation Maruti Dzire is anticipated to come with a single-pane sunroof. If reports are accurate, the 2024 Dzire will be the first subcompact sedan in India to come equipped with a sunroof, a feature that is incredibly popular these days, even if it isn’t particularly useful.
A wireless charger
In the 2024 model, wireless smartphone charging may be another new option for the Maruti Dzire. With this feature, there is no longer any need for cables to hang around the center console, which can cause problems when switching gears. This can result in a console experience that is less cluttered when combined with the new entertainment device that has wireless smartphone connectivity.
As Standard, 6 Airbags
The 2024 Maruti Dzire will probably have six airbags as standard equipment on all versions for increased safety. Although the government rule requiring six airbags has not yet been enacted, competitors like Hyundai have already done so, and the next-generation Swift hatchback will also feature them.
New 1.2-litre Z Series Petrol
The new 1.2-liter Z series 3-cylinder petrol engine, which is scheduled to make its Indian debut with the next-generation Swift, will be available in the Maruti Dzire since the two vehicles share mechanical foundations. This engine can generate 112 Nm and 82 PS, and it will probably be available with a 5-speed AMT or a 5-speed manual transmission.
Anticipated Cost & Competitors
It is anticipated that the Maruti Dzire 2024 will go on sale in June 2024, with a starting price of Rs 6.70 lakh (ex-showroom). It will still face competition from the Honda Amaze, Tata Tigor, and Hyundai Aura.

What we can learn from this 2024 Swift that shows up at a dealership is as follows.
External Details
The new Swift that is pictured here is probably the fully equipped model because it is painted in a white color. The LED fog lamps in the bumper, the long L-shaped LED DRLs, and the new, rather oval-shaped grille are all visible. Sharper dual-tone alloy wheels and wraparound LED tail lights are two further external modifications.
A Fresh Cabin and Outfit
Maruti’s interior design for the new Swift has a blend of bright and dark grey materials. Along with these updates, it now has a larger 9-inch touchscreen, similar to the Fronx and Baleno, and an updated temperature control panel.
In addition, there is push-button start/stop, auto AC, heads-up display, cruise control, and a wireless phone charger. Six airbags (as standard), an electronic stability program (ESP), and maybe a 360-degree camera with blind spot identification (based on previously observed test mules) would likely make up its safety net.
Options for Engine and Gearbox
A brand-new 1.2-liter, 3-cylinder Z series petrol engine (82 PS and up to 112 Nm) will power the 2017 Swift. Either a 5-speed AMT or a 5-speed MT will be included (as seen in these photographs). At least not at launch, a CNG version won’t be available.
Anticipated Cost And Rivals
The starting price of the Maruti Swift in 2024 is anticipated to be Rs 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete with the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and be available as a sub-4 million crossover MPV option for the Renault Triber.
News & Top StoriesDealerships Get to See the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX3 Variant
Although official reservations for the Mahindra XUV 3XO have not yet begun, we have just recently received pricing information. However, dealerships are now receiving the vehicle in some different configurations. There are five main variations of the XUV 3XO available: MX1, MX2, MX3, AX5, and AX7. This post will examine the features and appearance of the XUV 3XO’s mid-spec MX3 model in nine real-world photos.
in Front
The SUV‘s mid-spec MX3 model has the identical bumper and grille as its higher-spec siblings. Nevertheless, because of its halogen projector headlights, it appears to be a lower-end model. It has LED daytime running lights with turn signals, but no front fog lamps.
Side
The MX3 version of the Mahindra XUV 3XO has body-colored door handles from the side, while the ORVMs (outside rear view mirrors) and A and C-pillars are blacked out. This specific XUV 3XO model has no roof rails and 16-inch steel wheels covered in wheel covers.
Back
Although the XUV 3XO MX3 variation has LED tail lights, it lacks the linked configuration seen in the MX3 Pro variant, which is a grade higher. Other features that set it out as a lower-spec model include the lack of a rear wiper washer, rear defogger, and an expanded roof spoiler. Nonetheless, the SUV’s bumper design is still the same as previous higher-spec models.
Interior
Although the 3XO MX3’s design may suggest a cheaper model, its inside delivers a mid-range experience. The dashboard and door panels are two-tone black and white. On this version, however, the temperature control panel is derived from the XUV300 before the makeover.
Its features include an analog instrument cluster, a 4-speaker sound system, a wireless phone charger, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, and a single-pane sunroof. This version boasts all-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control, six airbags, and rear parking sensors for added passenger protection.
This XUV 3XO type is a mid-spec model, and it has black cloth seat upholstery. The extra convenience of rear passengers is enhanced by the provision of rear AC vents.
Powertrain
Mahindra provides turbo-petrol and diesel engine options for the XUX 3XO’s MX3 version. The details of the requirements are listed below:

| Transmission | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AT | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AMT |
The more potent T-GDi (direct injection) turbo-petrol engine is not available for the MX3 version.
Price & Rivals
The Mahindra XUV 3XO’s MX3 model costs between Rs 9.49 lakh and Rs 11.69 lakh (ex-showroom introductory). It competes with vehicles such as the Nissan Magnite, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, and Renault Kiger.
