Our take on this /// Verdict
The MG Comet EV Excite is a unique and compelling option for those seeking a compact, urban commuter. While it may not be for everyone, especially as a primary vehicle, it excels in its intended role as a city car. Its zippy performance, with 42 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, makes navigating through congested city streets a breeze. The cars compact dimensions and tight turning circle of 4.2 metres are significant advantages in crowded urban environments. However, it does come with some drawbacks, such as negligible boot space and soft suspensions that may not handle rough Indian roads perfectly. Despite these, the Comet EV Excite offers top-notch safety features, including two airbags, ABS, and a tyre-pressure monitoring system, making it a safe and convenient choice for city driving.
Price
The MG Comet EV Excite is priced at Rs. 8.08 lakh ex-showroom, which is quite competitive in the Indian market for an electric vehicle. When you factor in the on-road costs, including insurance, registration, and other accessories, the price can go up to around Rs. 9.5 lakh. This pricing makes the Comet EV Excite an attractive option for those looking for an economical and environmentally friendly city car. The value for money is enhanced by the subsidies available for electric vehicles in India, making it a financially viable choice for urban commuters.

It's a fantastic car for me and my wife, cute beautiful, high performance, luxury interior and as useful as we require, it's giving mileage 200 to 300 km depending of traffic conditions and driving style, yes it's giving more mileage than company claims, after 2 Months of friendship with comet I have never used my big car, at the last.
