By MG is one of the brands which listen to customer feedback and finally, the company has introduced a fast charging option with the Comet as it was earlier available with a 3.3 kW charger, which takes seven hours to completely top up the battery. The new 7.4 kW charger will certainly take much less time as it is expected to take around 3.5 hours to fully charge from 0-100 per cent, 10-80 per cent in 2.5 hours, and 0-80 per cent in 2.8 hours. This will certainly be a welcome move for customers who are planning to buy the Comet but the company is not giving the option for existing customers to update the charger.
Apart from the updation to the charger, the company has added several new features to Comet like an electronic parking brake with auto hold, rear disc brake, hill hold control, power hold ORVMs, electronic stability control, body coloured ORVMs & side garnish, integrated DRLs and Creep mode, which is very useful in city driving conditions. These features are mostly available on the top-end variants. Now the company has revised the variant lineup of Comet as it is now available in Executive, Excite, and Exclusive, the fast charging option is only available on Excite and Exclusive.
MG is offering the Comet in three monotone colour options – Candy White, Aurora Silver and Starry Black while the dual-tone colour option comes in Candy White with Starry Black roof and Apple Green with Starry Black roof. The Comet is powered by a 17.3 kW battery pack with 42 PS of power and 110 Nm of torque. The ARAI claimed range of Comet EV is 230 Km. The Excite FC is priced at Rs. 8,23,800 and Rs. 9,13,800 for the Exclusive FC. The company has officially opened bookings for the Comet FC across its dealerships.
