In fact, the lighting looks especially premium thanks to the high-quality elements within each projector unit. The design execution of the Comet, however, is more premium, thanks to a generous use of chrome, contrasting colours and lots of LEDs – in the headlamps, tail-lamps, wing-mirror indicators and distinctive light bars at the front and rear. The proportions will remind you of the Tata Nano, which makes sense, as it too leveraged its rear-engine layout to keep dimensions small in the pursuit of being a better urban runabout. Unlike many other born EVs, however, this slab-faced hatch clearly isn’t concerned with aerodynamics. As a result, it’s the smallest car in India at just 2.9m long, 1.5m wide and 1.6m tall, and with its tiny 12-inch wheels pushed out to the corners, its wheelbase is 2,010mm. Its born-electric skateboard platform allows it to ditch a conventional two-box hatchback shape for a monovolume one imagine chopping off the engine bay (and boot) to make a car as compact as possible. It’s a big gamble, by the brand’s own admission, but could it just be crazy enough to work? MG Comet colours and exterior design It wants the Comet to be disruptive, banking on its unconventional looks and very specific set of talents to woo a wholly different kind of buyer than anything else currently on sale. Despite all these points of reference though, having driven it, it still feels like nothing else, and that is exactly what MG wants. Sure, you could draw lots of comparisons – it’s an urban electric hatchback like a Tiago EV, it’s boxy, tall and upright like a Wagon R, and thanks to its born-electric platform, it’s more spacious than its size would suggest, like a Hyundai Ioniq 5. Most cars today are fairly easy to wrap your head around, but not the MG Comet it’s a bit more complex.
