MG Comet EV, the all-new electric car from MG Motor India, is launched in India on April 19, 2023. This mini electric car is expected to be priced under Rs 10 lakh, ex-showroom. It will be the company’s second all-electric offering in the Indian market after the MG ZS EV was launched in January 2020. However, this time, the company is venturing into a new small electric vehicle segment with the Comet.
MG Comet EV: Design and features
MG Comet EV will be a unique three-door electric hatchback with a distinctive design that sets it apart from other EVs currently available in India. Its length measures 2,974 mm, height at 1,631 mm, width at 1,505 mm, and wheelbase at 2,010 mm. Although it is an entry-level EV, the Comet will be equipped with features that make it stand out. It will be equipped with dual 10.25-inch screens, a two-spoke steering wheel, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, and more.

MG Comet EV: Battery, range and performance
The MG Comet EV is expected to have a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which may offer a driving range of around 250 km on a single charge. It will be powered by a single, rear-axle mounted electric motor capable of generating 45 bhp. However, it won’t support DC charging, and it takes about 8.5 hours to charge from 0 to 100 percent using a regular AC charger.
MG Comet EV: Price and competition
MG Comet will be a one-of-a-kind electric vehicle in the Indian market, and its production has already started. The price of the new Comet is yet to be announced, but it is expected to be priced under Rs 10 lakh, ex-showroom. It will be competing against other popular electric vehicles in India such as the Tata Tiago EV, Citroen eC3, and more.
Summary
In summary, the MG Comet EV is an exciting new addition to the Indian electric vehicle market, with its unique design and impressive features. Its expected price range is also affordable for most Indian customers, and it will compete against some of the most popular electric vehicles currently available in the market. With the Comet, MG Motor India is expanding its presence in the EV segment, and we can expect more innovative products from the company in the future.
