Celestial!

Unique and peerless, the MG Comet promises to be the definitive answer to all your urban mobility needs

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for social media moguls or one that's used by overzealous marketers to use it to sell more products. It means more than that. Given the irreversible damage the human race has caused to the planet, it's only fitting that our 'new normal' needs to include more environmentally friendly decisions. And while this isn't meant to be virtue signalling, it's rather about an honest attempt at making small but not inconsequential changes to make our lives better by causing as little harm to nature. Green motoring for instance can be a great start, with zero tailpipe emissions. And the recently launched MG Comet has particularly made a strong case for itself, thanks to its urban-focussed approach, which means it's ready to take on whatever the city commute throws your way. We decided to put the Comet through its paces in one of the best environments we could think of: Goa.

Referred to as the Sunny State, Goa is usually busy with sunshine, carnivals, and bright lights. Even in the less populated parts, where the roads are narrower and generally surrounded by trees, the Sun manages to find its way. But a delayed monsoon seems to have arrived in full force as we take the Comet for its first outing, turning the sky grey and sending the Sun into hiding. That's not ideal now, is it?

But the car landscape isn't ideal either. The gateway to inexpensive, clean motoring has been shut for the longest time, either due to greener cars being out of everyone's reach or unviable to be run as everyday modes of commute. The MG Comet, in this price bracket, changes that. It mightn't be the cheapest but at the same time, it doesn't feel like one, either. Made on an EV-specific platform, the Comet brings together unmistakable styling, premium build, and most importantly, ease of use in urban conditions that makes it undeniably better than other cars in this space.
