MG Comet EV Expected Powertrain Details

MG are yet to reveal the powertrain details of the Comet EV. However, the Comet EV is sold as the Wuling Air EV in the Chinese market and the latter’s powertrain details are available in the public domain. The Wuling Air EV offers 2 battery pack options — 17.3kWh and 26.7kWh – in international markets. The 17.3kWh battery pack offers a claimed range of up to 200km on a single charge, while the 26.7kWh battery pack offers a range of 300km. Both variants come with a 40PS electric motor. We are yet to learn whether MG will offer one of the 2 mentioned battery packs or offer a new battery pack for our market.

MG Comet EV India Expected Prices And Rivals

The prices of the Comet EV could start from Rs. 10 lakh ex-showroom. It is likely to rival the Tata Tiago EV and Citroen eC3, which are bigger hatchbacks than the Comet EV. However, the Comet EV is likely to offer more connectivity and entertainment features to attract young car buyers. Additionally, MG is likely to leverage the diminutive size of the Comet EV and market it as an electric vehicle for congested towns and cities.
