MG Comet EV

Positives:

• This three-door four-seater compact EV is reasonably loaded with modern features.

• You can easily be seated in the front with an acceptable driving position, sufficient headroom and knee-room, and good visibility.

• The floating twin display comprises a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen.

• Despite the proportions, the Comet tends to have an airy cabin owing to the smart use of light colours.

• There is wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, digital key with a sharing function, voice commands, and i-Smart connected car features.

• There is adequate space for two medium-sized individuals in the second row without rubbing shoulders.

Negatives:

• The front seats are placed close to each other, resulting in some restrictive shoulder room for larger passengers.
• Tall occupants will complain about the shortage of thigh support in the Comet’s front-row seats.
• The small second-row windows combined with the large front seats restrict outward visibility for rear passengers.
• The high-set second-row floor translates into a knees-up seating position, which makes exiting this car challenging.
• The absence of a glove box and centre console storage means passengers can only rely on the slots and bottle holders in the door pads and dashboard.
• The AC does not display temperature in Celsius oddly but in levels like L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, and High.
• There is bootspace for two slim laptop bags at most unless the second-row split-folding seats are dropped down.

Positives:

• It gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and front and rear row three-point seatbelts.
• It has reverse parking sensors and a camera, hill-hold assist functionality, electronic parking brake, and tyre pressure monitoring.

Negatives:

• It does not benefit from the safety of six airbags across the range of variants.
• The Comet has not been tested yet for crash ratings from the NCAP agency.

Positives:

• It has a compact design with a two-door configuration, illuminated MG logo, and front and rear connecting lights.

• It’s a cute, unconventional, and quirky car, especially in its Apple Green shade, that isn’t even three metres long!

• It is available in dual-tone shades called Candy White and Apple Green with Starry Black roofs, and monotone colours like Starry Black, Candy White, and Aurora Silver.

• The twin 10.25-inch displays along with the dual-tone Space Grey spices the unconventional design and cabin layout.

• MG offers customisation options such as over 250 combinations of stickers, graphics, and other features to personalise your Comet.

• The quality of materials and finish is good, the panel gaps are consistent, and there are no scratchy plastics.

• Another feel-good factor is the two-spoke steering with controls that give away vibes of Apple’s iPod of yesteryear.

Negatives:

• The Comet can seem a little too small in terms of ideal dimensions.
