Tata Tiago.ev vs MG Comet EV - Price
Tata Motors hit the ball out of the park by launching the Tiago.ev with battery rental service, which is popular called - BaaS, at Rs 4.69 lakh (ex-showroom), and charing 2.6 per km for battery EMI. Now, this directly hurts the Comet EV as it too comes with a BaaS - at Rs 4.99 lakh with EMI of Rs 3.20 per km.
Now, people who were going for MG will think twice as for less-price they are getting more car. Yes, both are primarily made for inter-city commutes, but the Tiago.ev have more space to offer, and in India customers want the maximum value for each penny they spend.
Now, let's compare the price of each of their variant:
| Variants | Tata Tiago.ev | Variants | MG Comet EV |
| BaaS | Rs 4.69 lakh + 2.6 per Km | BaaS | Rs 4.99 lakh + 3.20 per Km |
| Smart | Rs 6.99 lakh | Executive | Rs 7.62 lakh |
| Pure+ (19 kWh) | Rs 8.49 lakh | Excite | Rs 8.72 lakh |
| Pure+ (24 kWh) | Rs 9.49 lakh | Excite FC | Rs 8.99 lakh |
| Creative+ | Rs 9.99 lakh | Exclusive | Rs 9.72 lakh |
| - | - | Exclusive FC | Rs 9.99 lakh |
| - | - | Blackstorm | Rs 9.99 lakh |
The difference here is obvious: Tata's variant lineup is simpler, more affordable, and offers two battery pack options. On the other hand, the MG Comet EV's variant lineup is longer, slightly more expensive, and comes with special colour schemes. However, it gets only one battery pack option, which is available with two charging setups - regular charging and fast charging. Now, onto the battery spec, range, and charing time.
Battery Spec, Range, & More
The real competition lies here, as battery specifications play the biggest role in an electric car-buying decision. For starters, the Tiago.ev offers two battery pack options - 19.2 kWh and 24 kWh.
On the other hand, the MG Comet EV comes with a standard 17.3 kWh battery pack, while the 17.4 kWh unit is offered only with the fast-charging variant. There is no difference in power output or claimed range between the two; the only distinction is the charging speed.
Tata Tiago.ev
| Battery Pack | 19.2 kWh | 24 kWh |
| Claimed Range | 226 Km | 285 Km |
| Real-World Range | 160-170 km | 205-215 km |

| Torque | 110 Nm | 114 Nm |
| 0-60 km/h | 6.2 sec | 5.7 sec |
| Regular Home Charging | 6.9 hrs | 8.7 hrs |
| AC Charging Time | 2.6 hrs | 3.5 hrs |
| DC Fast Charging (30 KW) | 35 min | 35 min |
MG Comet EV
| Battery Pack | 17.3 kWh | 17.4 kWh |
| Claimed Range | 230 km | 230 km |

| Power | 42 PS | 42 PS |
| Torque | 110 Nm | 114 Nm |
| 0-60 km/h | Na | Na |
| Charging Time | 7 hrs | 3.5 hrs |
The Tiago.ev feels like the more complete EV package here, as it offers two battery pack options, better performance, and stronger real-world range figures. Tata also adds more peace of mind by offering a lifetime battery warranty with the 24 kWh variants.
Meanwhile, the MG Comet EV remains a city-focused EV, where the fast-charging version mainly improves charging speed without changing the range or performance.

It gets a twin 10.25-inch screen setup, where the infotainment unit supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with 100+ voice commands. The leatherette seats and spacious cabin further highlight how well-engineered this compact city car truly is.

Verdict
After the Tiago.ev facelift, the MG Comet EV does not feel as attractive as before, as Tata is now offering a bigger, more practical, and better-equipped EV for less money. With stronger performance, better range options, and a lifetime battery warranty on the 24 kWh variants, the Tiago.ev feels like the more complete package overall.
That said, the Comet EV still has a unique charm with its ultra-compact size, effortless city drivability, and assured buyback program. It is ideal for buyers whose usage is limited mainly to crowded urban areas. However, for most buyers, the Tiago.ev now emerges as the more sensible all-round choice.
