British automotive marque MG (Morris Garages), known globally for its refined yet practical electric vehicles, has officially introduced the upgraded Comet EV in the Nepali market.
Paramount Motors, the official distributor of MG (Morris Garages) vehicles in Nepal, has officially launched the upgraded MG Comet EV—a stylish and compact electric car tailored for modern city life.
The refreshed iteration builds upon the success of its predecessor with smarter design touches, enhanced comfort, and improved connectivity—positioning itself as a compelling urban EV for city-dwellers navigating tight roads and rising fuel costs.
What’s New in the Comet EV Facelift?
The new MG Comet EV carries forward its iconic boxy micro-car design but now with subtle enhancements that reflect a cleaner, more mature urban identity. The front fascia sees minor tweaks, with updated LED light graphics, refined grille styling, and new accent trims that add personality without sacrificing the minimalist approach.
Dimensionally compact yet surprisingly spacious, the Comet EV maintains its three-door configuration with 4-seater practicality, making it an ideal fit for Kathmandu’s congested lanes and short commutes.
Key Upgraded Features: More Value, Same Price
Despite the significant enhancements, Paramount Motors has maintained the previous pricing, making the upgraded MG Comet EV an even more attractive proposition in the sub-25 lakh EV segment.
Among the notable additions and improvements are:
- Rear Parking Camera: A crucial addition for navigating tight city spaces and parking, enhancing safety and ease of use. This addresses a key convenience factor for urban drivers.
- Power Foldable ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors): Available on mid-spec and higher variants, this feature adds to the convenience, especially in congested areas or when parking in narrow spots.
- Enhanced Urban Maneuvering Tech: While specific details on this broader category are awaited, it points towards refinements that make the Comet EV even more adept at city driving.
- 7kW Fast Charging : Charges the battery from 0 to 100% in just 3.5 hours, offering a quick and efficient recharge solution.
These new features complement the already strong suite of equipment offered in the Comet EV, reinforcing its “Big Inside, Compact Outside” philosophy.
Designed for Urban Mobility
Drawing inspiration from MG’s “Big Inside, Compact Outside” design philosophy, the Comet EV features a surprisingly roomy interior despite its small footprint. With seating for four, it is ideal for urban commuters who value space, efficiency, and innovation in a compact form.
The 50:50 split-folding rear seats offer flexibility and enhanced comfort, making the vehicle a practical choice for daily rides and short trips.
⚡ Performance & Range
Mechanically, the Comet EV retains its efficient 17.3 kWh lithium-ion prismatic cell battery, delivering an ARAI-certified range of up to 230 km on a single charge—ample for daily drives. Powered by a rear-mounted electric motor producing 42 hp and 110 Nm of torque, the EV is not meant to race but rather to cruise economically and quietly.
The car supports standard 3.3 kW AC charging, taking around 7 hours to charge fully via a home wall socket. With the recent rise in EV infrastructure across Nepal, this positions the Comet EV as a highly feasible electric alternative in its class.
The battery comes with an IP67 rating, ensuring resistance to dust and water. It has also passed 39 rigorous safety tests, according to the company.
🛋️ Interior & Tech
The MG Comet EV facelift’s cabin has received a noticeable upgrade in both tech and materials. It now features:
- Dual 10.25-inch displays: One for the instrument cluster, the other for the infotainment system
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Smart keyless entry & digital car key
- Voice commands and AI-based assistant
- Premium fabric seats and redesigned dash trims
These inclusions reflect MG’s commitment to technology democratization, bringing smart connectivity and minimalist luxury into the affordable EV segment.
🛡️ Safety & Convenience
In addition to dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and a reverse camera, the facelifted Comet EV now includes:
- TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in top variants
- ISOFIX child seat mounts
