Update (05/05/23): MG has revealed full price list of the Comet EV.

The ultra-compact two-door MG Comet EV is one of the most affordable electric offerings in the country. While it has no direct rivals, its pricing puts it against the Tata Tiago EV and the Citroen eC3 as an entry-level EV option.

MG Comet EV

Let’s see where the Comet stands when it’s compared to the electric models from Tata and Citroen:

Dimensions

Dimensions	MG Comet EV	Tata Tiago EV	Citroen eC3
Length	2,974mm	3,769mm	3,981mm
Width	1,505mm	1,677mm	1,733mm
Height	1,640mm	1,536mm	1,604mm
Wheelbase	2010	2450	2540
Boot Space		240 litres	315 litres

The Comet EV is the smallest car in this comparison with its length not exceeding 3,000mm, but it’s also the tallest model in this test. The Citroen eC3 is the largest model here in almost all dimensions, and it is considerably bigger than the Tiago EV, which is the second largest model here overall.

Battery Pack & Range

Specifications	MG Comet EV	Tata Tiago EV		Citroen eC3
Battery	17.3kWh	19.2kWh	24kWh	29.2kWh
Power	42PS	61PS	75PS	57PS
Torque	110Nm	110Nm	114Nm	142Nm
Range	230km	250km	315km	320km
Drivetrain	Rear-wheel drive (RWD)	Front-wheel drive (FWD)		Front-wheel drive (FWD)

Here as well, the biggest battery pack and the highest claimed range belong to the Citroen eC3, but its power output is lower than that of the Tiago EV’s smaller battery pack version. The eC3 competes directly with the bigger battery pack variants of the Tata Tiago EV.

On the other hand, the Comet EV, which gets the smallest battery pack among the three, competes with the smaller battery pack variants of Tata’s electric hatchback. Also, out of all three EVs, Comet EV is the only one that is not based on any internal combustion engine (ICE) model.

Tata Tiago EV Battery Pack

The Tata Tiago EV is the only model in this comparison that offers two different battery pack options.
