MG Motor India has started production of their new revolutionary product for the Indian market, the Comet EV. Unlike no other currently on sale, the MG Comet EV is being pitched as an auto-tech product, and a Smart Urban Commuter EV for the Indian market. This new MG Comet EV will debut in just a few weeks time, and we will bring a detailed review for you soon. MG Motor India has rolled out the first unit from their Halol plant, in Gujarat.
This small 2-door compact electric vehicle, the MG Comet EV is based on the global GSEV platform. The car is built around a solid steel chassis and the Comet comes with a high strength vehicle body structure for safety. The GSEV platform will not only make the Comet structurally safe, but also result in comfortable space within these compact dimensions. The Comet EV is being pushed out for urban commuters, who use the vehicle solo, or may be with just 1-2 more passengers and want a small car, easy to manage in congested cities. The key focus has been on easy manoeuvring of the Comet in traffic routes and also, an easy to park vehicle even in the tightest of spots. The parent company has sold more than 1 million vehicles so far based on this GSEV platform.
The new 2023 MG Comet EV will come with airbags for added protection of passengers and 17 hot stamped panels on the body-in-white for structural rigidity.
Typical of MG cars in India, this would also feature a host of connected car features, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and multimedia options. The brand has not revealed any specs or range numbers, but we know that the Comet EV will offer a 2-pedal drive with an automatic gearbox. Comfort and convenience will include climate control, coloured full digital speedometer cluster, touchscreen infotainment system with connected features, app connectivity, steering mounted controls, voice commands, etc.
