But before we get to its variant-wise features, let’s first glance at the technical details like the battery pack and the driving range.

The Comet’s battery is smaller than even that of the Tiago EV (19.2kWh). A range of 230km might seem like too little, but is enough considering the car is made for your daily commutes. Also, while its rivals come with a front-wheel-drive system and are based on internal combustion engine (ICE) models, the Comet offers a rear-wheel drivetrain and is built on a dedicated EV platform.

Now let's get into the variant-wise feature distribution:

Pace

This is what the base-spec Play variant offers:

• Halogen headlamps and tail lamps

• Black cabin theme

• Fabric upholstery

• 7-inch digital instrument cluster

• Manual AC

• 3 USB charging ports

• Power adjustable ORVMs

• Dual front airbags

• ABS with EBD

• Reverse parking sensors

• Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

• 3-point seatbelts for all passengers

• ISOFIX child seat anchors

• Basic audio system with Bluetooth music and calling

• Steering-mounted controls

• Two speakers

• Keyless entry

• Split folding rear seats (50:50)

The base-spec variant covers all the essentials like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and 3-point seatbelts for all passengers. As the most affordable EV of the market, this cabin does not offer any of the highlight features of the Comet EV.

Play

The mid-spec Play variant offers these features over the Pace variant:

• LED Headlamps and Tail lamps

• Connecting front and rear lights

• Grey cabin theme

• Leather wrapped steering wheel

• 10.25-inch instrument cluster

• 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment display

• Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

• Three USB charging ports with fast charging

• Voice commands

• Connected car tech

The Play variant has almost everything that makes the Comet EV appealing and looks upmarket with the LED lighting front and rear. It adds a 10.25-inch touchscreen to the mix, connected car features and premium touches like the grey cabin and leatherette steering wheel cover. You still miss out on steering tilt adjustment, which is a key factor considering the driver’s seat is not height adjustable.

Plush

This is what you get with the top-spec Plush, over the Play variant:

• Digital key with Bluetooth

• Smart Start system

• Tilt adjustable (up-down) steering wheel

• Auto up function for driver window

• Reverse parking camera

• Approach unlock function

With the top-spec variant, you get some of the more geeky features as well as key equipment such as the rear camera and steering wheel adjustment.

The MG Comet EV is available with a host of personalisation options as well which may vary depending on the variant. MG has priced it from Rs 7.98 lakh to Rs 9.98 lakh (ex-showroom) and it has entered the market taking on the likes of the Tata Tiago EV and the Citroen eC3.
