Pros & Cons

Pros	Its one of the most affordable EV in the Indian market It provides a satisfactory real-world range of approximately 200 km, with the capability to easily cover 150 km Small dimensions makes it easily maneuverable in city traffic and tight parking The interior space is well managed with flat front area and plenty of utility spaces The Comet comes with a light steering and a small turning radius It comes with a decent number of features such as LED lighting, touchscreen infotainment, keyless entry, rear parking camera, folding rear seat among other The interior fit and finish looks premium like other MG cars Full with tech features such as wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, no button vehicle start system, digital key, iSmart features etc. A lot of customization options from the OEM	Excellent value for money : mid-size SUV at the price of a sub 4m offering A very comfortable ride set-up, something that Citroens are known for Spacious cabin, even tall rear passengers will not have a reason to complain 470-litre boot is bigger than even the Honda Elevate! Easy to drive manners - good visibility and light controls 1.2-litre turbo petrol is punchy and the 6-speed AT responsive
Cons	Due to its compact dimensions and limited interior space, it is not suitable as a primary car The unconventional design may not appeal to everyone's taste Primarily designed for city use, it has a restricted range and is not ideal for extended highway journeys Strictly a 4-seater car Lacks DC or fast charging support, resulting in an approximate charging time of 7 hours With a modest 41 bhp power output, the driving experience may not be particularly fun to drive The two-door design makes accessing the second row a bit challenging No available boot space when the rear seat is in use Notable omissions in features, including a rear wiper and washer, seat height adjustment, and spare wheel	Features like sunroof, push button start, cruise control, auto lamps etc missing No automatic (or even AMT) with non-turbo petrol. No CNG or diesel either Limited dealer network - only 85 outlets across India at launch Bharat crash test ratings might be average at best
