MG Motors has begun the deliveries of the MG Comet EV pan India. The buyers can finally get the most compact car in India to take home. While the offline bookings were unofficially being accepted by the dealerships, the official ones started from May 15, at the online and also the brick-and-mortar channels. While the anticipation was on the higher side, the introductory prices were not, as per the carmaker that booked limited vehicles at the launch price.
Let's quickly look at the Comet EV- A super compact urban vehicle.
Powertrain
This urban 2-door EV is powered by a 17.3 kWh battery that claims a range of 230 km. This comes mounted onto the rear wheels of the car and produces 42 PS of power with a peak torque of 110 Nm. The charging support is set at 3.3 kW AC charging which takes the EV from 0-100 percent in just about 7 hours. However, there is no option for a fast charger.
Compact Urban EV With Features
It enjoys the tag of being the smallest EV Hatchback in India, beating even the Tata Nano in length. The dimensions stand at 2974mm in length, 1505 mm in width, and 1640 mm in height. The wheelbase comes out to be 2010 mm. This 2-door, 4-people electric hatch will have no problem in tight twists and turns, and also even in those peak office hours.

Features
Coming to the features, it gets dual 10.25-inch displays on the dashboard. One acts as a fully digital instrument cluster and the other one? You guessed it! The infotainment screen ( No wonder). Wireless Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay, rear parking camera with sensors and guidelines, steering mounted controls, dual front airbags, and connected car tech are some of the features highlighted.
Pricing
The price tag at the launch, as the company says, is introductory. The prices after 5000 bookings are set to increase. Currently, it stands at Rs. 7.98 lakhs to Rs. 9.98 lakhs ex-showroom. The on-road price will differ from state to state, depending on the tax regime. Since these prices are introductory, expect them to rise a bit in the future. Since we're talking about the price tags, it directly locks horns with the Tata Tiago EV and the Citroen eC3 EV to some extent.
