MG Comet EV : Ever zipped through bumper-to-bumper traffic in a car so tiny it feels like cheating?
That’s the MG Comet EV for you – the cheeky little electric hatchback that’s been turning heads since its debut and shows no signs of slowing down as we hit 2026.
A Design That’s Pure Fun
You can’t miss the Comet EV on the road. At just under 3 meters long – precisely 2,974mm – with a width of 1,505mm and height of 1,640mm, it’s like a skateboard on wheels compared to your average hatchback.
The tall-boy stance gives it a quirky, boxy vibe, complete with massive quarter glass panels that make it look friendly and approachable.
Two doors on each side keep things simple, but don’t let that fool you; it’s a four-seater with a wheelbase of 2,010mm that surprisingly fits adults in the back if you’re not hauling a crowd.
Those LED light bars front and rear scream modern, and with colors like Aurora Silver, Candy White, or the edgy Starry Black with accents, it pops in any parking lot.
MG sweetens the deal with sticker packs – think Youth, Night Cafe, or Astronaut – and lit-packs like Serenity Lush for that custom flair without breaking the bank.
It’s not trying to be a macho SUV; it’s your urban sidekick, perfect for slipping into spots where bigger cars fear to tread.
Power and Range for City Warriors
Under the hood – or rather, the minimalist bonnet – sits a 17.3kWh IP67-rated prismatic Li-ion battery paired with a rear-wheel-drive permanent magnet synchronous motor pumping out 42hp and 110Nm of torque. That’s enough zip to hit 0-50kmph in a brisk 5 seconds, making lane changes in traffic a breeze.
Top speed? Around 100kmph, plenty for city jaunts, and ARAI-certified range clocks in at 230km per charge – real-world tests show about 190-200km if you’re gentle on the accelerator in Eco mode.
No massive infrastructure needed; just plug in overnight and forget fuel stations forever. In a country where city runs average 50-100km daily, this little EV nails it without range anxiety drama.
Inside Tech Haven in a Cozy Cocoon
Slide in, and the Comet surprises with its airy cabin thanks to those huge windows. Leatherette seats hug you comfortably, and the space grey interiors in top trims feel premium without shouting luxury.
Up front, dual 10.25-inch screens dominate – one for infotainment, one for the driver’s cluster – running wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay seamlessly.
Steering-mounted controls, a leather-wrapped wheel, and a 6-speaker audio system keep things lively on drives.
i-Smart connectivity brings over 55 features: remote AC preheat, geo-fencing, and voice commands that actually listen.
Rear passengers get one-touch slide-recline seats for easy access, and with a 4.2m turning radius, U-turns are child’s play. It’s not a long-haul cruiser, but for dropping kids at school or grocery runs in Ludhiana’s bustle, it’s spot-on.
Safety Without the Bulk
MG didn’t skimp here. A high-strength body with 17 hot-stamped panels, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, hill-hold, and electronic stability control come standard.
Top variants add a rear camera, TPMS, electronic parking brake, and disc brakes all around (drums on base models). No NCAP stars yet, but the build feels solid for urban dodging.
In crashy pothole paradise like India, the multi-link rear suspension and McPherson struts up front handle bumps decently, though expect some jiggle over speed breakers.
Pricing and Variants That Make Sense
Starting at ₹7.50 lakh ex-showroom for the base Executive, it climbs to ₹9.97 lakh for the loaded Exclusive FC – on-road around ₹8-10.5 lakh depending on your city. Variants like Excite (₹8.20 lakh-ish) add basics, while Exclusive packs the tech punch.
There’s even a Blackstorm edition for style chasers and a Battery-as-a-Service option slashing upfront costs to under ₹5 lakh with monthly fees.
Compared to Tata Tiago EV or Citroen eC3, the Comet undercuts on size and fun factor, though rivals offer more doors or range.
Benefits like up to ₹1 lakh off in Dec 2025 deals make it tempting. Ownership? 8-year/1.2 lakh km battery warranty eases worries.

Why MG Comet EV Fits India’s EV Boom
In 2026, with charging networks expanding and fuel prices biting, the Comet EV shines for young pros, families needing a second car, or anyone tired of traffic sweat. I remember test-driving one through Delhi chaos – silent, responsive, zero emissions guilt.
It’s not perfect; boot space is tight (like 0.3 cubic meters folded? Nah, but enough for bags), and highways aren’t its forte.
Yet, for daily grinds under 100km, running costs at ₹1-2/km crush petrol rivals. MG’s updates – fast charging, custom packs – keep it fresh.
If you’re in Punjab dodging Ludhiana’s markets, this EV’s your hassle-free ticket to green motoring. Head to a dealer; one spin, and you’ll be hooked.
