The MG Comet EV 2-door compact electric car is based on the Wuling Air EV sold in markets like Indonesia, but has been adapted for India and is produced here with heavy localisation. Measuring just 2.9 metres in length with a wheelbase of 2010mm, the MG Comet EV is the smallest car in India, and is positioned as an urban runabout rather than a conventional family hatchback. It is a 2+2 seater, and has only two doors, with almost no boot space. At an introductory price of Rs 7.98 lakh to Rs 9.98 lakh (ex showroom) it is also the most affordable electric car in India.

For all its funkiness the MG Comet comes in only 4 colours – white, grey, black and green. You can further customise it with visual packs and decals. Its small, boxy shape and 12-inch wheels remind you of the Tata Nano, but the execution is much more premium, with lots of chrome and LEDs.
It’s surprisingly spacious thanks to its tall height and lack of engine and gearbox, with even adults able to sit in the back seats. It is very narrow though, and with no boot space, you will have to keep luggage on the back seats. Apart from huge door pockets, there is very little in-cabin storage, and no glovebox.
It has a strong features list, including twin 10.25-inch screens and connected car tech. It comes with 2 airbags, ISOFIX mounts, rear camera and sensors and ABS with EBD, but no ESC. Quality feels much higher than in other budget EVs, with rich plastics, soft touch materials and great fit and finish.
It’s a tiny car with a tiny battery at 17.3kWh, and a claimed range of 230km. It charges via a 15A socket or 3.3kW AC fast charger. A humble 42hp and 110Nm drive the rear wheels of this 815kg car, and the Comet feels peppy enough but not explosive like some EVs. It’s quick enough around town but will feel overwhelmed on a highway.
The small 12-inch wheels and short-travel suspension has little compliance, making for a firm ride that feels crashy over bumps. Manoeuvrability is superb thanks to the small dimensions and light steering, and visibility is surprisingly good too. It doesn’t feel stable at speed, and its small and tall dimensions means it’s not a fun handler either.
At Rs 7.98 lakh to Rs 9.98 lakh, (introductory, ex showroom), the MG Comet is the cheapest electric car in India. But then its very specific skill set means, while it excels in some areas – manoeuvrability, running costs, parking ease and quality, it is compromised in others, like performance, ride and handling and practicality. It is a car that targets urban users who might have a second car for longer distances, and viewed purely in that context, it’s an interesting proposition.
