In the fast-growing world of electric vehicles (EVs), the MG Comet stands out—not because it’s the biggest or fastest, but because it’s smart, practical, and built for the city life. Launched by MG (Morris Garages), a British brand now under Chinese automaker SAIC, the Comet is a compact electric car made for people who want a simple, stylish, and sustainable way to get around town.
Design: Cute Meets Clever
The MG Comet’s design is instantly eye-catching. It’s compact and boxy, but in a modern, futuristic way. The short length (just under 3 meters) makes it perfect for navigating tight city streets and squeezing into small parking spots. LED lights, a clean front face, and a minimalistic look give it a modern personality. Inside, it’s surprisingly roomy for such a small car, with enough space for four passengers, thanks to clever packaging.
Performance: Simple and Efficient
This is not a performance beast—and it doesn’t pretend to be. The MG Comet comes with a small electric motor producing around 41 hp and a top speed of about 100 km/h. But that’s more than enough for daily urban commutes. The 17.3 kWh battery gives a real-world range of around 200–230 km on a single charge, which is perfect for most city drivers. And yes, it charges using a regular home socket in about 7 hours.
Tech & Features: Small but Smart
Don’t let its size fool you—MG has packed the Comet with smart features. It has a dual 10.25-inch screen setup (one for infotainment, one for the digital driver display), voice control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and connected car features via the MG app. You can even control some features from your smartphone—like locking/unlocking and checking charge status.
Who Is It For?
The MG Comet isn’t trying to compete with SUVs or high-speed EVs. It’s for:
- Students and young professionals
- Eco-conscious city dwellers
- Families needing a second car
- Businesses doing local deliveries
With low running costs, a small carbon footprint, and easy maneuverability, it’s a smart choice for urban living.
Price and Value
One of the most attractive things about the MG Comet is its price. In India, it starts around ₹7.98 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable electric cars on the market. Given the rising fuel prices and environmental concerns, it’s a very tempting option.
Verdict: A New Kind of City Car
The MG Comet isn’t for everyone. But if your daily driving is mostly in the city and you care about being green, saving money, and driving something unique, then this little EV might just be perfect. It’s a fresh, forward-thinking take on what a city car should be—efficient, fun, and smart.
