MG Comet EV Executive
The Executive is the entry point into the Comet range. It comes with the essentials, such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and keyless entry. In addition, it gets a digital instrument cluster and power-adjustable mirrors. However, it uses halogen headlamps and skips the rear camera and wireless phone connectivity. As a result, it suits buyers on a tight budget or those who need a simple second car.
MG Comet EV Excite and Excite FC
For about Rs 1.10 lakh more, the Excite brings the biggest jump in features. Most notably, it adds the 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also gets LED headlamps and tail lamps, a rear parking camera and power-folding mirrors. Moreover, i-SMART connected car features let you check charge and lock the car from your phone. The Excite FC keeps all of this but adds faster 7.4 kW AC charging.
MG Comet EV Exclusive and Exclusive FC
The Exclusive sits at the top and costs about Rs 90,000 more than the Excite. Inside, it upgrades to leatherette seats and a 4-speaker sound system. More importantly, it adds key safety features like ESC with hill hold, an electronic parking brake and rear disc brakes. A smart key also lets you start the car without taking the key out of your pocket. Likewise, the Exclusive FC adds the faster 7.4 kW charging.
Is the FC Option Worth It?
The FC option costs only about Rs 27,000 extra on both the Excite and Exclusive. In return, it cuts a full home charge from about 7 hours to around 3.5 hours. That’s especially useful if you can only charge for a few hours at a time, such as at the office. However, if you always charge overnight at home, the standard 3.3 kW charger works fine. Since the Comet doesn’t support DC fast charging, the FC option remains its quickest way to charge.
Which MG Comet EV Variant Should You Buy?
For most buyers, the Excite offers the best balance of price and features, thanks to its touchscreen, rear camera and LED lights. If safety matters most, however, the Exclusive is worth stretching for, since it adds ESC and hill hold. Meanwhile, the Executive only makes sense as a basic city runabout. Finally, pick an FC version if you need quicker top-ups during the day. For city-wise on-road prices, check the MG Comet EV price page.
