The Comet’s tiny footprint is its biggest strength. For example, it fits into parking spots that most hatchbacks can’t, and squeezes through gaps in heavy traffic. Moreover, its tall 1,640 mm roof gives surprising headroom inside. However, the short length leaves almost no boot space with the rear seats up. Instead, owners fold the 50:50 split rear seats to carry luggage.
Motor and Performance
A single permanent magnet synchronous motor sits on the rear axle and drives the rear wheels. It produces 41.42 bhp and 110 Nm, which gives quick responses from a standstill. In addition, drivers can choose from three modes: Eco, Normal and Sport. Three levels of regenerative braking (Light, Normal and Heavy) also help recover energy in stop-and-go traffic. However, the Comet is built for city speeds, so highway overtakes need planning.
Battery, Range and Charging
Every Comet uses a 17.3 kWh LFP battery, a chemistry known for long life and good heat tolerance. In real-world city driving, expect about 190 to 200 km per charge. With the standard 3.3 kW charger, the battery goes from 10 to 80% in about 5 hours, and fully charges in about 7 hours. Meanwhile, the FC variants accept a faster 7.4 kW charger, which cuts a full charge to roughly 3.5 hours. Since there’s no DC fast charging, the Comet works best with reliable home or office charging.
Suspension, Brakes and Wheels
The Comet uses MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link coil setup at the rear. As a result, it handles city bumps reasonably well for its size. It also gets disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, along with ABS. However, the small 12-inch wheels can feel jumpy over deep potholes and broken roads.
Warranty
MG covers the Comet’s battery for 8 years or 1.2 lakh km, which gives peace of mind for long-term ownership. In addition, the car itself comes with a 3-year or 1 lakh km warranty. For variant-wise pricing, check the MG Comet EV price page, or compare trims on the Comet EV variants page.
