MG will also load the Comet EV with ample features, something that the brand has known with its other offerings. The MG Comet EV interior image that was recently released also tells the same story. The image shows a two-spoke steering wheel with a rounded and minimalist design finished in a soft-touch leather-like material. We immediately found a resemblance with the classic Apple iPod, as the steering-mounted control looks close to the iPod’s Click Wheel. The image also shows a dual-screen set-up likely to be a full 10.25-inch in size. 

MG Comet EV specifications

The MG Comet EV will be a three-door hatchback and will measure 2,974mm in length, 1,631mm in height and 1,505mm in width. The hatchback will be powered by a 20kWh battery pack and is expected to deliver an iCAT-certified range of around 250km. The EV could make about 45 bhp at the rear axle. The MG Comet EV could be equipped with an electric parking brake, hill-start assist, keyless entry and go, drive modes, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and voice commands, etc.
