MG Comet EV Expected Launch Timeline, Price And Rivals

MG Motor India are likely to launch the Comet EV in mid 2023. The prices of the Comet EV could start from Rs. 10 lakh ex-showroom. It is likely to rival the Tata Tiago EV, which is a bigger hatchback than the Comet EV. However, the Comet EV is likely to offer more connectivity and entertainment features to attract young car buyers. Additionally, MG is likely to leverage the diminutive size of the Comet EV and market it as an electric vehicle for congested towns and cities.
