MG Comet EV: On busy city streets, MG Comet EV is the first thing you notice with its unconventional design that is unlike anything else on the road. Small is beautiful on the outside, and the design is all function and fit, but the Centro’s exterior wears its futuristic styling credentials mellifluently. Up front, the fascia is clean and exceptionally wide, with a horizontal light bar that extends all the way to the fenders’ edges, the LED daytime running lights merging into what appears to be a continuous glow at night. Narrow headlamp features are mounted underneath aptly completing the layered look of the Comet which fairly expresses itself. The tall roofline allows for excellent visibility through large side windows, and the extremely short overhangs and tight footprint help it zip in and out of small parking spots. At the rear, the theme continues with a simple tailgate and vertical tail lights adding to the new, fresh, urban character of the car.

A Cabin That’s All About Warmth and Simplicity

Enter the MG Comet EV and you’re greeted with a compact driver’s environment that has eeked every millimetre of space from the compact body design of the car. Inside, the cabin of the Mirage is open and airy considering its small space, with plenty of windows and a smartly arranged dashboard. Materials are chosen to evoke a clean and modern look, with textures and smooth and soft metallic details. The dashboard is overwhelmed by a dual-screen layout, between the digital instrument cluster which seamlessly connects to the infotainment screen. Not only do these displays seem modern, they deliver clear info and simple control. The seats are covered in a rugged fabric and provide adequate cushioning for a daily commute. Smart storage solutions have been built into the door pockets, the center console and below the seats and always keep what’s important close at hand. This pared-down design ethos helps to support the Comet’s focus on practicality and utility.

Great Electric Powertrain for the Urban Jungle

The core of the MG Comet EV is a city-optimised electric motor that offers instant torque which renders city driving effortless, responsive and fun. That motor is good for modest output for a compact EV, providing smooth acceleration up to standard city speeds. Teamed with a single-speed automatic, the driving experience is refreshingly straightforward – you’re left to concentrate on threading through the traffic. The battery pack mounted under the floor also serves to keep the center of gravity low and aid stability during rapid changes of direction. Built for the needs of urban riders, the Comet is capable of riding to work, running errands, to cruising the park on a single charge. A second level of efficiency is regenerative braking, which recovers energy while slowing down, effectively increases driving range while reducing brake wear.

Technology That Keeps Drivers Connected

The Comet EV comes packed with a range of technology that makes it easy to use and improves the driving experience. The double-screen layout combines a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, which ties in with your smartphone via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The interface reacts well to touch inputs and voice commands to pick out navigation, media and communication features. A purposeful EV menu provides information about the battery’s routine, charging level and energy distribution to help optimize the driver’s habits. The digital instrument cluster offers a easy-to-read speed, range and regen level readouts. Convenient features such as keyless entry, push-button start and automatic climate control are all standard and sit within a cabin that is designed to be easy and fun to use. That the Comet uses these is inspired: they’re very current and suit the expectations of digitally hip urban drivers.

 

Tossable Handling Fit for Crowded Streets

The MG Comet EV naturally fares well in the city environment. The small footprint makes it a breeze to navigate through tight corners and narrow lanes and the electric powertrain provides silent operation that diminishes stress in busy stop-and-go traffic. The steering is light and responsive, making it easy to make quick lane changes and park in small spaces. The suspension is set up to provide a plush ride over broken roads, swallowing small bumps and potholes without unduly upsetting the people inside. For such a small bike it feels really planted and stable, helped by the low mounting point of the battery which means it doesn’t roll over as much in the corners. Visibility is very good too, as you get big windows and an elevated driving position gives a good view. These traits combine to create a driving experience that feels familiar and fun, and is especially easygoing for first-time EV owners or city hoppers.

Convenient Charging in Harmony with Daily Life

One of the reasons that set the Comet EV apart is its sheer simplicity when it comes to charging. It offers traditional AC charging and faster options, and is suitable to any lifestyle of infrastructure. With a home charging arrangement, the battery can be charged fully overnight, ready for daily use without dedicated visits to public charging stations. Vehicles don’t do you any good there, and while fast chargers achieve compatible charge rates in minutes, even greater compatibility only serves to add more range in shorter stints at the charger. The onboard charging management system communicates hook-up status on screen in the infotainment display, and on a smartphone app that also keeps drivers connected to their vehicle’s range, charge status and more. MG’s interest in straight forward and accessible charging options demonstrates an appreciation that convenience drives EV take-up, particularly in urban areas.

MG Comet EV: Urban EV That Redefines What Is Practical

Thoughtful design paired with clever technology redefines the vision of urban mobility seen in the MG Comet EV. Ah, but those looks: its eye-popping originality on the outside and tight dimensions, not to mention electric propulsion to swoosh through urban roundabouts and across roundhects. Inside, the simple, but functional interior has everything the modern driver has come to expect from features and connectivity and clever packaging ensures practicality is never compromised. With nimble sporty handling and a relatively quick recharge time of 4 hours on a 240-volt Level 2 charger, it’s easy to work into your daily routine. The Comet EV is a great example of making electric vehicles accessible, attractive and fun to drive – particularly in a world which demands a more sustainable and practical approach to travel. For those potential customers looking for a cutting-edge take on the traditional urban runabout, this car is a compelling step in the direction of a cleaner, smarter and more engaging future of urban mobility.
