Named after the iconic British aeroplane that participated in the 1934 England-Australia MacRobertson Air Race, the Comet is based on Wuling&#8217;s Air EV, which is already a hit in markets like Indonesia. The Comet is slated to go on sale in mid-2023, making it a highly anticipated launch considering it will be one of the few EVs on sale around the 10 lakh price point in India. Here&#8217;s everything about the MG Comet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script>\n        createSlider(\n          {\n            url: \"https:\/\/api.spinny.com\/sp-consumer-search\/product\/listing\/?city=delhi-ncr&product_type=cars&category=used&make=mg-motors&page=1\",\n            utmParams: \"utm_medium=blogcarousel&utm_source=mg-comet-design-performance-and-expected-launch\",\n            headingText: \"Premium MG Cars on Spinny\",\n            ctaText: \"View All Cars\",\n            sliderBg: \"#2e054e\",\n            headingColor: \"#ffffff\",\n            ctaColorPrimary: \"#ed264f\",\n            ctaColorSecondary: \"#fff\"\n\n          }\n        );\n      <\/script>\n\n\n<div role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Table of Contents\" class=\"simpletoc wp-block-simpletoc-toc\"><h2 style=\"margin: 0;\"><button type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"simpletoc-content-container\" class=\"simpletoc-collapsible\">Table of Contents<span class=\"simpletoc-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><\/h2><div id=\"simpletoc-content-container\" class=\"simpletoc-content\"><ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#exterior\">Exterior<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#interior-amp-features\">Interior &amp; Features<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#powertrain\">Powertrain<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#pricing\">Pricing<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#summary\">Summary<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"exterior\">Exterior<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>This compact and stylish electric vehicle is unlike anything that&#8217;s currently available in the Indian market. The Comet EV&#8217;s design is inspired by its sister brand Wuling&#8217;s Air EV, which is sold in markets like Indonesia. Measuring just 2.9 metres in length, the car is the perfect choice for city runabouts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front fascia boasts a two-tone finish, and the wraparound strip under the windscreen has LED lighting elements that end in the wing mirrors. The stubby nose gives it a futuristic look that will definitely turn heads. The asymmetrical window line with dual-tone paint finish and small wheels pushed to the edges make the profile stand out. The rear end design mimics the front fascia, making it appear well-rounded.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"interior-amp-features\">Interior &amp; Features<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While the car is certainly small, the dedicated skateboard platform specifically designed for EVs allows the car to be spacious on the inside and comfortably seats 4 passengers. Although MG hasn&#8217;t yet revealed interior images, we can expect a dual-screen infotainment set-up, consisting of two 10.25-inch screens, connected car tech, dual-tone interiors with quality materials, voice commands, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and even a sunroof.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"powertrain\">Powertrain<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The upcoming MG Comet EV is anticipated to be equipped with a battery pack of approximately 20-25kWh capacity that will be sourced locally from Tata AutoComp. According to reports, this battery will provide a driving range of up to 300km, which will likely be certified by iCAT, as was done with the ZS EV, another electric car from MG. A single front-axle motor with an output of around 50kW (68hp) is anticipated to power the Comet.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pricing\">Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Comet EV is expected to be positioned as a feature-packed premium small car, and thus will be priced at Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom). MG has managed to pull off 60% localisation to compete with established players and bring down the price. The Comet EV will directly rival the Tiago EV, and the Citroen eC3, and looks like a good option for those looking for a premium drive in the small car segment, something which isn\u2019t in the Indian car market yet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the MG Comet is a practical and efficient urban runabout EV that is perfect for those who want a manoeuvrable, agile, compact, affordable and offbeat way to do their daily drives: from going to office to picking up groceries. Further peace of mind is offered through the fast-charging capabilities and range of up to 260 kilometres.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian automobile market is about to get a jolt with the upcoming launch of MG Motors&#8217; newest offering &#8211; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69,"featured_media":508805,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cos_headline_score":0,"cos_seo_score":0,"cos_headline_text":"MG Comet: Design, Performance And Expected Launch","cos_headline_has_been_analyzed":false,"cos_last_analyzed_headline":[],"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_mbp_gutenberg_autopost":false,"_pgmb_is_evergreen":false,"_pgmb_ap_template_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5097],"class_list":["post-508802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-new-car-launch"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508802"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":508866,"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508802\/revisions\/508866"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spinny.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
