The Comet EV is based on the Global Small Electric Vehicle (GSEV) platform and the overall build quality is satisfactory. More importantly, it doesn’t feel like a cheap car.
MG Comet Pros
An affordable EV that focuses on personal mobility
Ultra-compact size, light steering and small turning radius make it perfect for crowded cities
A well-built hatchback that doesn’t feel cheap
Real world range should be 150 – 160 km which is enough for an urban commuter
Adjustable drive modes and selectable regen braking are useful in various driving conditions
Zero emissions, cheap running costs & green image will appeal to a lot of people
Good-looking cabin that has adequate space for 4 people to drive around town
Tech includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, connected car benefits, cool starting procedure (no button to press), digital key sharing, etc.
Good feature includes LED headlamps, indirect TPMS, keyless entry, split folding rear seat, reverse parking camera with sensors, etc.
Plenty of customization options and accessories to make your car truly unique
MG Comet Cons
Weird, funky styling may not appeal to everyone
Not for people who want to do highway runs. This car is strictly for the city only
2-door design means difficult rear seat access. Also, it is a 4-seater, not 5
41 BHP motor isn’t fun-to-drive
Can be used only as the 2nd or 3rd car of the house. Surely not your primary vehicle
Zero boot space with all the seats up. You’ll have to fold the rear seats if you want to carry any luggage
No DC fast charging or even AC fast charging options. Just home charging is available which takes 7 hours for a full charge (10 – 80% in 5 hours)
The usual EV challenges (charging infrastructure, brand new tech could mean niggles, range anxiety)
Missing features like seat height adjustment (tall drivers would want to lower the seat), rear washer and wiper, spare wheel!!
