The MG Comet EV brings genuine four-seat electric mobility to India at an accessible price point, making it one of the most affordable EVs for urban commuters. Its tiny footprint and tight turning radius make it uniquely practical for congested Indian city streets.

The MG Comet EV is a compact, four-seat urban electric hatchback that stands out with its quirky, boxy design and ultra-small footprint — measuring just 2,974 mm in length. Launched in India in 2023, it is positioned as an accessible entry point into EV ownership, with a starting price of around ₹6–7 lakh (ex-showroom). Its 17.3 kWh battery pack delivers a claimed range of 230 km on a single charge, making it well-suited for daily city commutes and short inter-city runs.
Despite its diminutive size, the Comet EV punches above its weight on features. Higher trims come equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, LED headlamps and DRLs, a rear parking camera, and a dual-tone exterior. The cabin is designed to maximise space efficiency, offering a surprisingly usable interior for four occupants within its compact dimensions. A real-world range of approximately 170 km has been reported by automotive testers under mixed driving conditions.
Powered by a single electric motor producing around 41 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, the Comet EV is tuned for urban agility rather than outright performance. Its 4.2-metre turning radius makes it exceptionally manoeuvrable in congested city traffic. AC charging is supported, though DC fast charging is not available on most variants. With JSW Group's backing, MG Motor India continues to refine its EV lineup, and the Comet remains a key volume driver in the affordable EV segment.
