MG Comet FAQs

If you want a small, easy-to-drive electric car and aren’t planning to cram people and luggage often, and where almost all of your driving will be in the city and mostly over short distances, then the MG Comet makes sense.
 

The Comet EV’s compact dimensions, good all-round visibility, light steering, tight turning radius and a relatively peppy powertrain make driving and manoeuvring this car in congested urban environments really easy. While it’s far from fast, the Comet EV is quick enough to keep up with city traffic up to 60kph.

Despite being less than 3 metres long, the Comet EV feels surprisingly spacious inside. Its tall and boxy proportions mixed with the large glass area and clever packaging create an airy cabin with enough room for four adults. In fact, there’s enough room for even taller people at the back.

Despite its petite size, the minimalistic-looking interior of the MG Comet EV gets good-quality materials and build. The two-spoke steering, rotary drive selector, dual 10.25-inch screens and LED lighting further elevates the sense of premiumness of this cabin.
 

Being a small city-focused car, the Comet EV has limited boot space, with barely enough room to carry a couple of laptop bags and its own charging cable. The Comet also lacks DC fast charging, which limits its ability to make long-distance trips hassle-free. Its lack of outright power aside, the small and narrow tyres paired with a slab-sided design and a tendency for top-end sway doesn’t inspire confidence.
 

The MG Comet EV has a claimed range of 230km. However, our tests revealed a real-world range of 193km, which makes the Comet a really usable city EV.

No, the MG Comet EV does not come with a DC fast-charger. It comes as standard with a slow 3.3kW AC wallbox charger, which takes a claimed 7 hours to charge the Comet EV from 0-100 percent. However, customers can opt for a faster 7.4kW charger that’s capable of charging this EV from 0-100 percent in a claimed 3.5 hours.
 

The Tata Tiago EV is not only bigger and more practical than the MG Comet EV, it also offers more range and better performance over a broader set of driving conditions. Given that its larger and better-equipped rival (in top-spec) costs just as much as the fully loaded Comet EV makes it far less appealing on the value-for-money quotient.
