MG Motor India, the Indian subsidiary of the British automotive brand Morris Garages (MG), has introduced its latest electric vehicle, the MG Comet EV, in India. This is the company’s second electric vehicle in the country, positioned below the MG ZS EV, a popular electric SUV in India. The MG Comet EV’s price is expected to be announced on April 26 and the vehicle is scheduled to be launched for sale in India next month.
The MG Comet EV is essentially a modified version of the Wuling Air EV that is currently available in Indonesia and several other international markets. The upcoming electric car is expected to compete with the Tata Tiago EV, a popular electric hatchback in India.
The MG Comet EV is anticipated to offer a range of modern features and amenities that are usually found in high-end vehicles. The electric car will likely feature a sleek and stylish exterior design, with several contemporary elements. The car’s interior is expected to provide a comfortable and spacious experience for the driver and passengers.
