Verdict

MG announced the variant-wise prices of the MG Comet and we must say they look quite attractive. If you are in the market for a sub- Rs 10 lakh EV for the top model, going for the Comet EV is not a bad idea at all. The top trim with all the bells and whistles is priced at Rs 9.98 lakh making for a great value-for-money preposition. On the other hand, if you want to stick to the familar Tiago in terms of features, safety, design, brand value and don’t mind spending Rs 12 lakh for the top trim, Tiago EV is a great choice too.
