Share
In India, MG has finally released its long-awaited mini electric vehicle (EV). The mini EV, known as Wuling Air in other countries and MG Comet in India, is aimed at buyers looking for a small-footprint city car.
The Comet EV will be available for test drives on April 27, with reservations for the three-door EV beginning on May 15 and deliveries beginning later that month.
Details
The boxy design of the Comet EV includes MG’s Extended Horizon connecting lights and a full-width LED light bar. The wing mirrors are connected by chrome and piano black trim. The charging port on the Comet EV has an illuminated MG logo beneath the light bar.
It is equipped with 12-inch alloy wheels, vertical rear windows, and asymmetrical side windows. The EV is also available in five colours, decals, and lit graphics packs.
The interior of the EV is white and grey, with two 10.25-inch screens for the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. The front passenger seat tumbles and folds with one touch, and the rear seats split 50:50.

It also includes wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, manual air conditioning controls, keyless entry, steering-mounted controls, three USB ports, and 55 connected features. ABS, EBD, TPMS, a reverse camera, sensors, and dual front airbags are standard on the Comet EV.
The ARAI-certified driving range of MG’s Comet EV is 230 kilometres on a single charge. This is powered by an IP67-rated 17.3kWh lithium-ion battery from Tata AutoComp. A 3.3kW onboard charger allows for a 7-hour charging time.
A 42 hp and 110 Nm electric motor drives the rear wheels of the MG Comet through a single-speed gearbox. The tiny EV’s light weight, small size, and rear-wheel drive configuration imply that it will be enjoyable to drive.
The MG Comet costs Rs. 789,000 in India, which is Rs. 2.77 million in Pakistani currency. While it is expensive for Pakistanis, the MG Comet is an excellent entry-level EV for India.
