I have been lucky enough to drive almost every single electric car currently on sale in the country, and every time I drive such a car, a lot of people ask me one question - when will India get an electric car for the masses? Fortunately, MG Motor India has the answer to that now in the form of the Comet EV. This latest entrant in the Indian EV segment aims to be an EV for the masses, given its aggressive starting price of ₹7.98 lakh (introductory for first 5000 customers).
The obvious question, then, is - has MG cut corners to achieve this price tag? Well, read on to find out.
AN UNMISTAKABLE DESIGN
The first thing that you will notice about the car is its dimensions - it's about three meters long and one and a half meters wide. The illuminated MG logo at the front, which acts as a lid to the charging port, and the connected-light design element both at the front and at the back are other bits that stand out. At the side, there is a single door, which is a sizeable unit in itself. I also like the design of the 12-inch wheels, which surprisingly do not look oddly small, thanks to the dimensions of the car. There is also a large rear quarter glass panel.
