New Delhi: While MG Motor was one of the pioneers in India's Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) market, it was never able to overtake Tata Motors, the current market leader. With the launch of the Comet as India's least expensive EV, the automaker now plans to change this. The small city is a component of MG Motor's assertive approach to our market.

The MG Comet EV has a tall-boy exterior design aesthetic.Two large doors, ORVMs mounted on indicators, a raked windscreen, and 12-inch steel wheels with designer covers are among its features.

It also has dual-projector LED headlights, bumper-mounted fog lamps, a closed-off grille with a charging port hidden behind the front logo, and closed-off ORVMs.The compact EV's rear end can be equipped with roof-mounted spoiler and squared-off LED taillights.

The four-seater interior of the MG Comet EV is reasonably roomy despite its short 2,974mm length. It has a dual-tone dashboard with soft-touch fabric-like material, recessed AC vents that are neatly integrated, manual AC, power windows, a two-spoke multifunctional steering wheel, and a dual 10.25-inch screen setup with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Dual airbags protect passengers, ensuring their safety.

A 17.3kWh Lithium-ion battery pack and a single electric motor with 41.4hp/110Nm power the MG Comet EV. The small city runabout has a range of up to 230 kilometres on a full charge.

The Comet has been made available in India by MG Motor for a starting price of Rs. 7.98 lakh (ex-showroom). It is the brand's most reasonably priced electric vehicle here in the United States. We believe the EV makes sense for those seeking a compact car with a unique design, a technologically advanced interior, and a sufficient driving range for commuting in congested cities.

Tata Tiago EV previously held the title of "India's cheapest EV," but the MG Comet EV has since taken it. Its uniqueness stems from its generally small size. Additionally, the latter uses the company's Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), which was built specifically for electric vehicles, as opposed to the former's modified X1 architecture, which was created primarily for ICE-powered vehicles.
