MG Comet EV is the second all-electric model from MG Motor India. Its first electric car, the ZS EV, was first launched back in 2020. The Comet EV will be part of the entry-level EV models in India. It will rival the likes of Tata Tiago EV and Citroen eC3 electric hatchbacks.

MG Comet EV is a two-door, four-seater model. According to MG Motor, the Comet EV would make it ideal for daily city commutes. It is the smallest all-electric vehicle in the country, measuring under three meters in length, 1,640 mm in height and 1,505 mm in width. The EV stands on 12-inch steel wheels and has a wheelbase of 2,010 mm.

The box-shaped Comet EV may not appeal as a serious car to everyone. However, the carmaker has packed in enough features inside to keep one engaged. It offers two 10.25-inch screens - one is the main infotainment display that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, apart from various third-party apps. The driver display is all-digital. There is no dashboard but there are plenty of storage spaces all around the car, including two hooks for bags. There is a rotary dial for driving the vehicle and the two-spoke steering wheel has mounted controls that are inspired by iPods of yesteryears.
