Motorola made the announcement at press event in London and the The new Moto G with 8 GB in built storage has been priced at $219 for US.
There is no word on the pricing and availability of the new Moto G, but it seems like the new handset has been designed for markets where users demand LTE and that leaves India out of it. With the rise of 4G networks in India, Motorola might introduce it in India as well.
