A 17.3 kWh battery pack and a PMS motor power the Comet EV. The EV can generate a maximum torque of 110 Nm and 41.4 bhp of power. The Comet EV has a claimed 230 km range on a single charge.

MG Comet EV Exterior
With measurements of 2974 mm in length, 1505 mm in width, 1640 mm in height, and 2010 mm in wheelbase, the new MG EV is one of the smallest electric vehicles on the Indian market. A 4.2-metre turning radius is provided by the EV. This electric car rolls on 12-inch tyres with a tread depth of 145/70.
The EV's appearance is unique and subjective, therefore not everyone will like it. The EV is equipped with dual barrel LED headlamps, a front light bar with DRL that extends to the width of the vehicle, and a charging port hidden below the MG emblem in the front centre. It had 12-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, vertical chrome door handles, and electronic badging on the C-pillar on the sides. Rear features include an LED tail lamp, a reverse parking camera, a light bar akin to the front one, and MG & Comet badging in the middle of the tailgate.

For the driver and front passenger, the front gets a flat surface that increases legroom.

On the safety front the Comet EV boasts dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, day-night IRVM, rear parking camera with sensors,
Verdict: The MG Comet EV is, in our opinion, overpriced considering that it is the smallest car in its segment. The manufacturer could have set a more affordable price tag. Due to their greater road presence, other EVs in the same price range, including the Citroen eC3 and Tata Tiago.ev, might grab more customer's attention.
