Exterior
A Futuristic “Gadget” on Wheels The MG Comet EV does not follow the traditional rules of automotive design. At just 2,974 mm in length, it is one of the smallest four-wheelers on Indian roads, yet its “boxy-tall” silhouette gives it a presence that is impossible to ignore. It looks less like a car and more like a high-end consumer electronic device.
The front fascia is dominated by a full-width LED light bar that sits just below the windshield, complemented by an illuminated MG logo that doubles as the charging port. The vertical headlamps and the large, panoramic side windows are designed to make the car feel larger from the inside while maintaining a tiny footprint. The 12-inch wheels are admittedly small, which helps with efficiency and the tight 4.2-meter turning radius, though they do struggle with the aesthetics of the car’s tall stance.
Interior
The Digital Lounge Step inside, and the “budget car” expectations vanish. The Comet EV features a Dual-Screen setup, two 10.25-inch high-definition displays that look like they belong in a luxury sedan. The dashboard is finished with a mix of soft-touch fabrics and high-quality plastics, a far cry from the scratchy surfaces seen in entry-level petrol hatchbacks.
The “walk-through” flat floor is a genius bit of engineering. Because there is no central tunnel, the driver and passenger can easily slide across to the other side, a lifesaver when you’ve parked in a spot so tight the driver’s door can’t open. However, practicality is a mixed bag. There is no traditional glovebox; instead, you get open storage bins and two dashboard hooks that, while useful, can lead to bags swinging into your legs during turns.
Build Quality
Despite its toy-like dimensions, the Comet EV is surprisingly robust. It is built using a High-Strength Steel (HSS) body with 17 hot-stamping panels for added rigidity. The doors are unusually large and heavy, requiring a solid pull to close, which reinforces the feeling of safety. While it hasn’t been officially crash-tested by Bharat NCAP as of early 2026, its structural integrity feels superior to most budget-segment vehicles.
