MG Motor India revealed the starting price of its latest small electric vehicle, the Comet EV, on 27 April. The introductory price starts at Rs. 7.98 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.

The Comet EV has a very unconventional look in terms of dimension and design. It is just under 3 metres and can seat four passengers. On the outside, the EV gets LED light bars at the front and rear, LED headlamps and taillights, chrome door handles, and 12-inch steel wheels with stylish wheel covers. Moreover, the MG logo at the front illuminates and sits above the charging outlet.
The cabin of the Comet EV is light-themed with a space grey interior. The dashboard features a twin display setup which houses a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit and a 10.25-inch all-digital instrument cluster. Other features include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, electrically adjustable ORVMs, power windows, steering-mounted controls, keyless entry, and 50:50 split rear seats.
Powering the Comet EV’s rear-mounted motor is a 17.3kWh battery pack. This motor generates 41bhp and 110Nm of peak torque. As for charging, the sole option is a 3.3kW charger which takes seven hours to fully charge the EV. Meanwhile, the Comet EV delivers a claimed range of 230km in a single charge.
