Upon its launch in May 2023, the Comet EV faced criticism for its pricing. However, the recent adjustments make it a more attractive option than the Tiago EV. Despite its limited range and two-door layout, the top-spec Comet EV offers more value than the entry-level Tiago EV with comparable specifications.

Comet EV Specifications

For reference, the MG Comet EV is equipped with a 17.3kWh battery, providing an ARAI-certified range of 230km. It features a single electric motor on the rear axle, generating 42hp and 110Nm of torque. In contrast, in its entry-level MR variants, the Tiago EV sports a 19.2kWh battery with an ARAI-claimed range of 250km, along with a front axle-mounted electric motor producing 61hp and 110Nm.

MG ZS EV Prices

In addition to the Comet EV, MG Motor has also implemented significant price reductions for the ZS EV. The new entry-level Executive trim is introduced at Rs 18.98 lakh, marking a substantial reduction of Rs 3.9 lakh from the previous starting price.
