MG Comet impressions: Why I feel it's an excellent option for city use

Only sat inside the Comet EV, as I was actually there to test drive the ZS EV SUV.

BHPian shankar.balan recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

While at the MG showroom today to test the ZS EV I also sat in the Comet. I did not test-drive it.

But my impression is definitely that it is well put together and can be an excellent option for a city commuter.

The Comet is what Reva or E20 ought to have been by now considering that they appeared first in the market 14-15 years ago.

The cabin is ergonomic and all the controls are easy to reach. The space is excellent as a two-seater for sure and the rear seats when folded down, can swallow up an enormous amount of shopping, weekly groceries and all that.

Well designed, small and neat package overall. Did not check other details on range and charging and all that but this will 100% be a more than adequate option for the city, for sure!

However, being a tall person, I found the footwell a bit cramped and my legs folded a little awkwardly even though the seat was pushed back to the max. Also, there is a marked lack of under-thigh support.

Looks are very subjective yes. I have myself made uncharitable remarks about the Comet. But when you look at that Bajaj QUTE and the Tata Nano and the Reva and E20 and all, then why not the Comet as well?

Comet actually looks a bit like the depiction of an Electric Car in a book I got as a kid - 1974 - Ladybird - Man and His Car.
