MG Comet EV: India’s Most Affordable Electric City Commuter with 230 km Range

The MG Comet EV is at the heart of transforming the outlook for urban mobility in India as smallest, budget-friendly electric hatchback from JSW MG Motor (India) and redefines the city-cruising experience. Debuting in April 2023, this two-door, four-passenger electric automobile is designed for city dwellers with its small footprint and zero-emission propulsion while offering an array of tech-laden convenience features to replace the petrol scooter or gas guzzler as your smart mobility choice.

Available starting at ₹6.99 lakh (ex-showroom), or ₹4.99 lakh in the introductory period under the Battery-as-a-Service model, MG Comet EV has seen a sharp uptick, reportedly playing a role in MG witnessing 34% YoY growth last month to September 2025. Packing premium features such as leatherette seats and heightened safety features in the 2025 update, it may be well positioned to rule the micro-EV segment as more drivers plug into electric vehicles.

MG Comet EV Features: Compact Design Packed with Urban Essentials

The MG Comet EV stands out for its quirky, kei-car-inspired design that’s perfect for navigating tight Indian streets. Just 2,974 mm long, on a wheelbase of 2,010 mm – yet seats four relatively comfortably behind the Porsche-ish cab-forward look and has 50:50 split-folding rear accommodating extra cargo space. It has a striking exterior with contoured LED DRLs, customizable vinyl wraps, and seven color options with dual-tones such as Dual-Tone Onyx Black.

The cabin, meanwhile, is premium inside with a dual 10.25-inch display setup — one for infotainment and another for the driver’s cluster — that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Connected car tech via i-Smart app enables remote AC control, geo-fencing, and over 100 voice commands. 

Comforts come via a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats (in higher trims), and ambient lighting, while party pieces are 0-100% charge completed in 7 hours (or taking 3.5 hours using a 7.4 kW fast charger) and V2L for powering gadgets. And for safety, two airbags, ESC (see feature panel right), hill hold and a rear camera make it clear that this baby’s been built solid despite the largeness.

MG Comet EV Specifications: Efficient Power for Daily Drives

The MG Comet EV is driven by a 17.3 kWh lithium-ion battery (fast-charge versions with 17.4 kWh) and the rear-mounted electric motor offers figures like 42 bhp and 110 Nm, while sprinting from zero to hundred in around 19 odd seconds – good enough for quick city runs. It has an ARAI-certified range of 230 km, and one can expect between 180 and 200 km in the real world for city commutes. The BaaS option separates battery costs at ₹2.5-3.1 per km, lowering upfront expenses while including maintenance.

The Team Behind MG Comet EV: JSW MG’s Push for Green Mobility

MG Comet EV gets driven all the way by JSW MG Motor India, a 2024 venture from MG (related to SAIC) and JSW Group, out of its Halol plant in Gujarat. Headed by CEO Parth Jindal, the team is rooted in localization (over 90% for EV) and innovation with tech like Blade Battery. In the global context, exports to Europe and ASEAN burnish its cred; in India, it sits pretty thanks to FAME-II incentives for affordable EVs.

Social Media Buzz and Why MG Comet EV is a 2025 Essential

X is full of MG Comet EV love, with users referring to it as the “perfect city runabout” because it’s so easy to park and has a range of 200 km, getting props as an urban pick with light maintenance. Festive sales hype links it to MG’s 100% EV growth and in comparisons against Tata Tiago EV the Comet is compact. Reviews applaud the “funky” ride, as well as its premium feel, though some remark on less-than-spectacular highway performance.

In 2025’s EV surge, the MG Comet EV excels as a no-fuss commuter—cheaper to run than scooters, greener than petrol cars, and nimbler than rivals like the Tiago EV or eC3.
