The MG Comet EV's recent update brought a slight price bump, but it remains the more affordable option, even without the battery rental scheme by up to Rs 1.33 lakh. With the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) plan costing Rs 2.5 per km for battery usage it gets even more affordable.

It’s obvious at first glance that the Comet EV is much smaller than most hatchbacks, including the Tiago EV. If you’re wondering just how much smaller, refer to the comparison above. So, if space is a priority, the Comet EV stays out of the question for that matter.
Also, considering that the Tiago EV has two additional doors, it’s clearly more practical here as ingress and egress is easier for rear-seat occupants.

The Tata Tiago EV offers several extra features for the extra dough, including auto headlights, automatic climate control, an electric tailgate release, cruise control, a rear wiper and washer and rain-sensing wipers compared to the Comet EV.
While the Comet EV is actually well-equipped for its price point. But it just gets a digital key, over the Tiago EV.

The MG Comet EV comes with a single, smaller battery option, whereas the Tata Tiago EV offers two choices: a and a larger battery pack. The Tiago EV’s motor delivers more power. However, the Comet EV provides slightly more range than the Tiago EV’s smaller battery variant, though the Tiago EV takes the lead here with its larger battery pack.
Another advantage the Tata Tiago EV has is fast charging capabilities, where you can top up the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 58 minutes using a DC fast charger. In the MG Comet EV, you’d have to rely on home charging options, where it takes 3.5 hours for a full charge using a 7.4 kW charger.
The MG Comet EV is the smarter pick for city dwellers looking for a well-packaged yet smaller car to beat the tight traffic. But if you need more space, features, range and fast charging that allow you to do more highway runs, the Tata Tiago EV is worth the extra spend.
