Did 22000 kms in just a week less than a year.
My takeaways. Negatives first:
1) it feels like the wheels are gonna come off when going through rumble strips which are present all over Hyderabad’s roads and flyovers
2) When on the Outer Ring Road(expressway), it feels shaky when big cars speed across in the next lane.
3) The doors need to be shut hard. Like it needs effort!
4) Infotainment system hangs often
5) AC is average!
6) There’s no rear fogging/wiper. So good luck on a rainy day especially when there’s fogging due to humidity.
7) Tyre size can make rides on bumpy Indian roads difficult
Positives:
1) The dimensions. The ease with which you can park or reverse or get out of the car from the passenger seat is just 🤌
2) can literally charge with any 16amp plug
3) The aeroplane like windows in the rear seat help with claustrophobia. People enjoy the back seat for short rides
4) Novelty. A lot of eyes. Negative if you are an introvert otherwise if you enjoy the noticing, be prepared for a lot of curious questions by passers-by
5) It’s so easy to manoeuvre narrow roads and traffic. I literally bypassed big Traffic signals by detouring through the small gullies and bylanes that are hardly 10 feet wide. Life made so easy in urban areas I must say!
6) wireless CarPlay- the infotainment system and also the option of wireless CarPlay ensures so much more interma of mobility. Every drive of mine is so much more than driving. There’s podcasts I listen to attend calls, all seamlessly without having to be restrained by wired connections
7) The acceleration 👌🏻 pick up🙌 is so seamless it feels therapeutic
Overall a great secondary car, that in my case needed being used more than the primary car this year lol😂
You know I initially thought the same about the rear wiper but my usage wasn't on a highway much so didn't need it, it's for urban use so don't really need it. rear defogger yes they could have considered
Much better review compared to video ...that shaky thing and small wheel is most negative aspect for me
Please tell about mileage?
Hi, I have done 23,652 kms in my MG Comet in one day short of 9 months. Loving every moment of driving it. Yes it does have a few quirks, but we can ask ourselves, 'is there a perfect car', the answer is NO. The positives out weigh the negatives by a huge difference. I am open to share my experience.
Almost about to touch 10k..bought it in 1march....likewise i do agree...but there are some bad road issues with this car...plus ergonomics could have improved
What is the Real range after 20 k running
Is it good if we use it as secondary vehicle??
stop this bullshit paid comment. its a horrible car
How much range it delivers on full charge ?
Comet EV, feels perfect for city rides and even I been driving from last one year and experience has been amazing!
After one year.. what is the range you getting ?
Nano me Kya Problem thi
This sounds like just a review and not a long term review. A long term review should provide details on the maintenance cost, how does it function in rainy season, were there any battery drain issue, wheel alignment and other details. While the video is good i personally feel this is more of a car review than an ownership review
I'm sorry you felt that way, these were my observations over 9 months though your suggestions are valid as well. Shall definitely keep in mind for the future. Thanks for watching.
Exactly
Hello, I have crossed 17,500km in my comet… it’s a good EV vehicle in this price segment, very practical and ergonomically designed car
What is the range you getting now ?
Faizal khan during his review of Comet commented with respect to Nano " in search of gold, we lost a diamond"
After the recent price correction and offers, I am seeing more of comets on road. Very practical and good! Wish they have the fast charging in base variant would take it with eyes closed. This car is something which nano was supposed to become 😊
What was the price correction?
Nice ev, that rear wheel drive was fun to drive. Strictly for town use.
Good car being a car of chineese SAIC motors its reliable and no electronic issue whatsoever
Completed 10000km 1 year
The review is generally positive, but there are some inaccuracies. Firstly, MG already offers a buyback plan. Secondly, the passenger seat belt is designed in that position to allow for easier ingress and egress for second-row passengers.
Its nice to see Sohini review a car for a change. I honestly do not like how the Comet looks, but aside from that, its almost practical, mostly for two or younger passengers who don't mind squeezing in through the front door. While all companies claim they offer 8 year warranty, how does it really work? Do they replace it after it conks off? Cuz with batteries, they tend to degrade over time and unlike ICE vehicle where you could replace a few parts and get its efficiency back up, you cant really do that with EVs. So technically an EV battery could charge up to max 30% and still be working, your range with take a huge nose dive, but technically the battery is still working. Does the warranty cover a batteries max State of Charge? And if they do, what is the min amount of max SOC before a customer can claim a new battery under warranty?
If the capacity goes less than 70 percent in the warranty period, battery will be replaced.
@@GurmeetSingh-dz8ff Thanks for clarifying 👍🏻
Ev lasts 25 years with avg driving kms. Atleast 16 years. If a manufacturer gives 8 yrs warranty double is the lifespan is normal equation.
@@bondnikunj While theoretically it may last, my only worry is the battery life cycle, in it's most usabe/effecient form. The battery life will greatly effect the resale value. And if phone batteries are anything to go by, that 25 years may not hold for the car battery, even 16 is a big question mark. I know, they are not made to the same standards, but it is still an unknown factor. Then there is the question of how long a manufacturer will continue to produce batteries for the vehicle. Unlike mechanical components, electronics in general have a much shorter lifespan, they don't last as long and/or on the other hand there is constant innovation which makes tech obsolete in a few years. we don't know what battery tech will be 5-10 years down the line. Will manufacturers still make batteries for old vehicles? or the only option is scrapping them? Cuz unlike ICE engine, you cant do jugaad to fix EV, no? I may sound like overthinking, but these are genuine concerns, especially if the EV will be the primary vehicle in the family.
@@TheLazyWandererMys well if its below 75% they will replace it. So the figure I quote of 16 years is the time it takes for battery to fall to 80 bcos that's the point after which they no longer considers a battery at optimal performance/ range. Also its just a matter of couple of years where the life of battery will be close to 40-50 years. China already has a few. But in all honesty resale is a big point and u r right things will change drastically next 4-5 yrs. But mostly the worries and overthinking isn't worth it bcos travelling will see a major revolution. People aren't realising how good self driving has become. U can see cars after cars in china and US going fully autonomous and by a year or 2 it would be absolutely a stupid proposition to own a car and waste parking space. Also these cars taxi's like baidu's are so much cheaper than a normal taxi. So anyways the whole market will shift. Its very hard to predict if normal people are allowed to drive in next 5-6 yrs once self driving is proved to be 40-50 times safer than a normal driver. Only enthusiast will get some kind of driving license that will be too hard to achieve. So don't think of that. Mg comet is anyways a second car mainly. And a great 1 tbh
Have crossed 22000 kms in 7 months...amazing car with low maintainance!!!
Does it goes 230 km in single charge
@@imranshaik657 it goes easily..but you should maintain speed around 55 kms..else normally you get 190 kms easily with 70kmph
How easy is it to drive in rains?
How difficult is it drive on pothole filled roads ? ( bangalore is not a city, its just big potholes )
Did u face any issues due to low ground clearance?
Did u face tiredness driving 60-70 km at a stretch in city? How’s the suspension and comfort?
How much unit it's needed for full charge 0 to 100%
Great review!
Is this car tested by GNCAP?
Is this car complies with Front,Side collision norms?
Just curious.
NCAP don't test toasters
@@wolffury5019 most probably no. U will surely die in these micro cars if it collides. Still way safer than a 2 wheeler so a great car for 2 wheeler replacement but not the existing highway car mainly bcoz of the safety concerned u raised.
@@bondnikunj Thanks 😊
These small cars are for daily city use, not to go on highway or long drives
So safety isn't an issue tbh as it's much safer then bike
@zetorxa OK. Fatal Accidents also can happen in cities.
Faults in Nano and love the MG ,typical Indian mindset .
Make nano ev..then u will see actual Indian mindset..
Even if they make the Nano and EV, people will have to suffer from Tata's painful after sales and service experience. No thank you, I'll stick with MG. As a customer I want the best product for my money and jaded patriotism has no place in my decision making process.
MG is also manufacturing in India. JSW has invested in MG.
Right
Nano was launched in 2008 and this car now...there's a generation of difference and tech is not at all comparable
Isme rear camera h with reverse
Whats u r height?? Is it comforatable for 6 foot person
Yes
the Comet EV could do with a more potent 43.0 kW battery pack instead of the 26.0 kW . . . which should be good enough for a range of 212 kms (138 kms - 153 kms real world city driving conditions) . . . slightly larger air-conditioning vents for +40°C north Indian summers . . . last but not the least the Comet EV begs for some larger footprint . . . 13.0 in. alloy wheels shod with 155/60 R13 radial tyres . . . rear wash/wipe & defogger, a must have during the monsoon . . .
Good to see a review without over excitment
What about milage per charge
Way cheaper than gas
Pros
Small footprint
Great interiors
Easy manuverability
Good glass window
Cons
Two door
Seat belt not accessible
Small tyres
No fast charging in base model
Doesn't feel safe
Would love more of this design comes back like Reva. In city where parking space is very low. This could be very helpful. Would love a Nano come back
MG already has a buyback option for the Comet.
Where is your review i was expect pro and cons of MG
Don't buy, i am getting only 100km on full charge i own comet from last 15 months
If only it supported dc fast charging, it would've make it a perfect car which could be considered a primary car.
True though honestly with the ac fast charging option too it's a good buy.
Wheel are smaller. That is the major drawback in city rides having bumpy roads... It is excellent car to roam around city even in narrow lanes.
Why do these wheels make me remember e-rickshaw every time 🤦🏻♂️
Exactly, those who have abundance of money feel so.
What if TATA relaunches NANO as NANO EV or something
Dream car
If you buy an auto, you probably will get the same feeling and possibly can make some money as well. And it's hell lot cheaper as well.
Then buy the auto bro
Kaku
This small car is not for small elephants, these are for humans 😂
Skinny Types My ❤
i was in market for a EV, comet was out of question because i have a family and this toy was too expensive and not practical for me, maybe as 2nd or 3rd car it might have worked. so i went to tata and checked out tiago, it had too bland interiors, no way i can put 10L on such lousy interiors. so went for tata punch EV LR , costed me 13.3 L . same model in Petrol AMT was 10L so i paid 3.3 L more. expecting to recover in 3 years
Totally different segments.
13.3 lakhs v/s 7 lakhs for Comet.
@@atulmalhotra2303 true, dont buy a auto to save some bucks, rest it is your money. for some this may be best choice.
@@lalit3124 y not punch.ev
You can call it an upgraded version of either auto-rikshaw or Tata Nano 😂
😮 I would not!!!
Isase achha to tata sir ka nano h
I think Tiago is a better choice
@@Guiding100 y people go for tiago when they can get punch ev
Car ❌
Cartoon ✅😂
China owned thisompany???
Yes
Nano hi isko band krayegi
Still it's too costly
Horrible design, should have made the car look more sleeker rather than a lego toy car design .
Practical review. Bullshit car.
