MG Comet EV

Variants and Feature Levels

The Comet EV comes in three main trims, with two of them offering a fast-charging (FC) option. First, the Executive covers the basics, such as halogen lamps, a digital cluster, keyless entry and tyre pressure monitoring. Next, the Excite adds the big upgrades, including LED lights, the 10.25-inch touchscreen, a rear camera and connected car tech. Then, the Exclusive brings premium touches like a digital key, leatherette seats and four speakers. Finally, the FC versions of the Excite and Exclusive accept faster 7.4 kW AC charging.

Exterior Features

The Comet’s boxy, tall-boy shape stands out in any parking lot. Up front, a full-width connected LED light bar stretches across the face, while an illuminated MG logo adds a playful touch. Higher variants also get LED headlamps and tail lamps with a modern stepped design. In addition, LED turn indicators sit on the mirrors, and a boneless aero wiper keeps the large windscreen clean. However, every variant rides on 12-inch steel wheels with covers.

Interior and Comfort

Inside, the Comet feels far more upmarket than its size suggests. For example, buyers can pick from two interior themes: Starlight Black or the lighter Space Grey. Higher trims upgrade to leatherette seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Moreover, a clever one-touch tumble on the front passenger seat makes it easier to reach the rear seats. The 50:50 split rear seats also fold separately, so you can carry luggage and a passenger at the same time.

Infotainment and Technology

Tech is where the Comet truly shines. Most notably, higher variants get twin 10.25-inch screens, one for infotainment and one for the driver’s display. These support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition, 30+ Hinglish voice commands let you control the AC, radio and more by speaking. Through the i-SMART app, you can lock the car, track its location and check charging status remotely. The Comet also supports over-the-air (OTA) updates and even works with a smartwatch app.

Driving and Convenience Features

The Comet makes city driving stress-free. To start with, creep mode lets the car move slowly in traffic without pressing the accelerator. Next, a digital key with sharing lets family members unlock and start the car from their phones. Furthermore, valet mode limits access when you hand the car to a parking attendant. You can even set a maximum speed limit between 30 and 80 km/h, which is useful for new drivers.

Safety Features

Every Comet comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts and rear parking sensors. In addition, it gets speed-sensing auto door lock and impact-sensing door unlock. Higher variants add a rear parking camera, ESC with hill hold, an electronic parking brake and rear disc brakes. Through the app, owners also get geo-fencing and overspeed alerts, along with an emergency e-Call feature.

Before You Buy

The Comet only offers two airbags, while many rivals now give six. Also, it has almost no boot space with the rear seats up, so plan to fold them for shopping trips. Since the Comet doesn’t support DC fast charging, consider an FC variant if you need quicker home charging. To compare trims in detail, visit the MG Comet EV variants page.
