UPDATE: MG Comet prices are out! Variant-wise prices below - Pace - Rs 7.78 lakh Play - Rs 9.28 lakh Plush - Rs 9.98 lakh All prices are ex-showroom.

This makes Tata Tiago look even better. I mean by value.

Underlines the fact that the Nano 5 door was a great design, let down by poor product placement and safety issues. Imagine a 5 door Nano EV, with 4 -5 star NCAP rating at 7 lakhs !

This will increase sales of Tiago EV.

It is definitely a premium offering. Might be primarily brought by well to do families as a second car for city runs/daily commutes. It is definitely expensive for small families or individuals looking for their first or only vehicle 😅. But this is the best car to drive in the city as of now.

Tiago is much much better value proposition at this price range. Looks good, build is good, range is acceptable. I don't know what is the thought process behind designing such a polarizing looks when the competition has far better product. All that money spent in R&D could have been used wisely.

Nice Video. I believe the base version of MG Comet should have been priced at a maximum on-road price of Rs. 6 or 6.5 lakh. The higher-end features such as the touch screen infotainment system and reverse parking camera could have been offered as options only for the top variant. The MG Comet's compact size, limited range, and minimal boot space, combined with a negligible price difference with the Tiago EV, do not justify its price. For individuals from lower and middle-income groups, the price is the most critical factor when purchasing a car. While safety features such as airbags are necessary, compromises can be made on high-end features. For instance, an AUX/Bluetooth music system can be provided instead of a touch screen infotainment system, reverse parking sensors instead of reverse parking cameras, and dashboard controls instead of steering mounted controls. To encourage the majority of Indians to shift towards EVs, it is vital that an EV car is available within their budget range (between 3 to 6 lakh, at which they purchase a used petrol/diesel car) that can perform the basic function of transportation from point A to point B at a minimal running cost (thanks to its EV technology), and includes basic air conditioning and a music system. Given these compromises, MGMotorIndia should have priced the Comet at around Rs. 6.5 lakh on-road. This would have put it in direct competition with internal combustion engine vehicles, and middle-class individuals would have considered purchasing a new EV car within their budget instead of a used petrol/diesel car. This would also enable MG Motors to attract a larger customer base, making Comet as an anchor and even upsell premium cars to some of them. It is worth considering this option as it could prove to be a key to the brand's success.

An honorary mention of TATA being the Battery pack provider, MG is trying hard to market upon Tata’s ev success and trust.

Over priced for India..costs 4.5 Lakhs for top variant in china called Wuling Hongguang Mini EV at US$5,607

Autocar reviews are always anticipated after the launch of the car, This video was detailed and well-explained.

Excellent review ! Thanks. I think I'd go with Tiago EV

I am just Under 6’ tall never gets old!! 😅 Amazingly detailed video!! Super like!

An unnecessary spend to some, but a boon to another some!

6:47 Nikhil did this review just to say this 😂

Cars like these will be best served for cab drivers. Just under 10 lakhs, low maintenance and fuel cost. However, charging speed is a big issue for them. A swappable battery system should be brought out.

I don't know why these youtubers are giving so much hype to this EV.... It's overpriced. Wuling Hongguang Mini EV in China is priced @ 4,800- 14,700 USD i.e. 3,92,424 - 12,01,800 INR.Then why did the sell @ 7,98,000/- in INDIA ? Actually I wished to buy a Comet EV if it was priced @ 4 lakhs (ex showroom) price. Now I have to change my mind 😞

Nikhil has been smiling throughout the video 🙂

Mr. Bean's Mini cooper 😂

Best compact car, but the seats are not so comfortable. Perfect for city driving. Driving for almost 9 months, drove almost 10k kms. Range is ok getting between 150 to 190 based on driving conditions

Brilliant. Europe is full of vehicles like this. Good thing India has a premium tiny electric car.

Millions of Indians are waiting for a new Nano. A 5 star rating and a nice makeover could ensure the Comet has a very commendable rival right next to it. Tata should get to it right away. Respect for MG Motors. The Comet may divide opinion but it really is a fine automotive product with its pros and cons.

It actually feels much spacier than i expected

Not sure what MG were thinking when pricing this. I mean we already have Tiago EV in the market for a little more money and it is a proper car with functional rear seats and boot.

Looks like the legendary Mr. Bean car just modernised a bit 😂

I think it's a good urban car Its going to be my second car

Well presented. Looks pretty cute and trendy and seems to run well but a bit expensive still.

Great review, saw the Air EV original and fell in love with the design. I'm hoping since it's been rebadged as an MG it might be brought to the UK market 🤞🏾.

The features are really advanced for an electric vehicle

Pls do a comparison between MG comet and Bajaj Electric Autorickshaw.

Thanks MG , now waiting for TATA nano

May be unpopular opinion, but it is pretty neat for city

It definitely gonna be first choice for urban commuters

I like Nikhil Bhatia's Black watch. I prefer a Wagon R with the K12 petrol or the Grand i10 Diesel.

Well that 817 kgs are almost similar to that of a full-size hatchback called as Swift!! :D

This is surely gonna be a game changer for MG, great👍🏻

With this EV MG has stepped into a totally new space. Evs of this type is rare in India. The audience will really love its unique design.

Boss afterlongtime you are in autocar channel 😊🎉 Boss is Back

Really thorough for a first drive Nikhil 👍

I found it absolutely cool and I'm sure many office goers(who can afford a secondary car) would feel the same❤

Compact and easy to use design of this model is apt for the current traffic situation in the country

This is not a full sized car , this is a perfect replacement to your scooter for better safety and comfort. i hv booked this for my retired parents who daily go to markets and nearby friends. only problem is that This is extremely overpriced, it should have been sub 5lk.

Technologically very advanced 👍🏻

The car is really innovative, no other brand does compact electric cars

Great review. Your presentation is excellent as usual.

Thanks for this review. You got it write but most people commenting against this car are probably not understanding the market segment it serves. Right segment for this car is people who 1. Already have a big car like Safari/innova for outstation drives 2. Have place to park 2 cars 3. Have infrastructure to charge electric car. 4. Need a small car for small city commutes like office, dropping kids to school, driving to crowded market. This car is far better than any other car currently sold in India when it comes to 1. Ability to park in tight spaces 2. Drivability on crowded, bumper to bumper city traffic There is truly no competition in current market for comet as its only product in that segment. Tiago EV segment is budget EV, which is different from lifestyle EV segment that comet comes in. If Tata relauches Nano in electric avatar, then it will be competition for comet. MG should provide fast charger and ADAS based city creep mode features and bump price to 10L to remove tag of cheapest EV

Such build quality and modern features at this price is really justified

At 8 lacs they are offering fully automatic electric car with running cost of 1 rs per km. A 350 Cc motorcycle costs 2.5 lacs and running cost of rs. 3 per km. It should sell well if warranty is good

Tata Tiago ev is far better option than this e-rickshaw

this makes sense .. in a sensible city ❤

The green one looks like an RE auto. Considering what happened to Nano, this might won’t get accepted by our Indian society.

Interiors of the car is really impressive 👍🏻

13:38 due to the weight of the driver , the car looks tilt towards the driver side 😂😂

I'm planning to get it for my everyday use 👍🏻

Tata Tiago EV long range should be the default choice for people looking for an entry level EV right now.

Design is really cute and unique

If it eventually comes around 6 lkhs when battery is localised. I'll happily trade my bike for this.

The color scheme is really fresh 😍

Great balanced review and good product designed for a specific use case . This can be used by delivery segment commercial users as folding up rear seat gives good boot space . Good for food delivery companies doing party orders and well many more use cases can come up like Shuttle service which runs for short distance like Metro station last mile taxis .Thanks again .Lets be positive and welcome everything which is Electric and as nicely said in the start of this video by the host that need to approach this with 'Open Mind' .

Well seems like a good option for practical rich people as a secondary car. Would be better than a single person roaming in SUVs on busy road if they are practical enough for it.

Affordable for many . We need to wait and see the other factors

Waiting for TATA Nano EV

Is the MG Comet equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features, encompassing advanced technological features such as 360° view and ADAS? Additionally, can it be ascertained whether MG intends to offer a rapid charging solution in the foreseeable future?

need a NCAP test on this

bring on Nano EV premium !!

It's time for such innovative models😍

I always struggle with bigger cars, this is the solution

Awesome review man! Are you under 6ft? Surprising. You look taller. Anyways. I have been seeing you since a time when you used to be opening doors or become a model to show the seat and volume of 3rd row or 2nd row of 7 seater SUV quietly. This car is amazing. Wish to see some more developments in it. Pricing, I feel its little too on the higher side but its not about reducing price but increase value of INR in market. I hope people use it properly and not use it like moped or scooters to just cut the traffic

This will not sell in india.. we require slightly longer frame which can host 4 passengers plus some more luggage.. ( size that of a WagonR is the best..) ...

Car whose time has come. A 2 seater twin door is sign of present traveller. I see 4seater, 5 seaters but mostly one person in it. So why not a 2 seater??? All the BEST

reminds me of Mahindra Rewa/ E2o

If Tata can bring Nano ev with sodium ion battery pack(with is much cheaper than lithium) under 5 lakhs in next 2 to 3 years then that will be revolution in small car segment segment

Waiting for a two seater eCar in India.

If I could afford a SUV and another car for my daily commute to the office or a small distance travelling then this is really good.

Perfect for short commutes 👍

MG should consider renaming it to E RICKSHAW not E LECTRIC

Fits in small parking spaces..great

.. NO its not... NANO electric will be a hot car ... man lo sabhi... tata should bring out NANO in new Avtar -Electric

Loved the overall apperance 😍

Very well narrated..

7:00 whiplash would be painful with such low set fixed headrests

MG always impresses us with their cars

Very costly...if it is for urban commute then it's price should be around 5_6 L...We are not buying this as premium product...I think it's price will be a deterrent in it's sale....

Cute baby! It should beat the entry level cars' prices in India to be widely accepted.

practical and awesome interiors

Tata tiago ev is best for indian roads

Future is here

This is probably not a very practical car. To be very honest which segment of people in India will buy this car? Ultra Rich won't they have their supercars and luxury ones Rich also won't maybe some of them will buy this as a gadget. Upper middle class - Yes maybe to some extent. As they can afford a secondary city car. Because this car is no way a primary car. Middle Class - most middle class household have 1 car and/or a two wheeler. Those car are all purpose use. Lower middle class - for them it's not a value for money product. Most of the people are two wheeler user or a hatchback. It's might be used as an urban auto or city cab probably. But again lack of bootspace means no airport or station transfers in most cases. 10 Lakhs Auto rickshaw .. not happening.

I wonder why this car is not available in UK 🇬🇧? We have a similar car but much smaller. It’s called smart car by Land Rover company

Perfect choice for office going people

Great to see this eco friendly car

It's basically a second car in a country where people cant afford 1 car...😂

Those Chintu Mintu Wheels 🤣

Sir, I’ve heard that we cannot drive this car to other city. Sir do you think that it is true?

Urban India badly needs this EV with narrow roads and congestion all around for zooming around packed cities!!...Not to forget, India is the most populous country on this Earth!!

Waiting for hyundai alcazar petrol turbo review..

It is not a Fun Car It's a Small Family Car.

If it would have priced at 4 lakh it would be a value buy

They would have brought the Wuiling Bingo instead of Comet.

Personally, loved it.
