The Comet EV's core component is a 17.3 kWh battery pack, and MG claims that it can achieve a range of 230 km. The vehicle offers three drive modes, namely Eco, Normal, and Sport.

Under the hood of the Comet EV is a single motor that is mounted on the rear axle, delivering a peak power output of 41 hp and a maximum torque of 110 Nm. With this setup, the vehicle can achieve a top speed of 100 kmph.

In terms of interior, the MG Comet EV features two 10.25-inch screens, one serving as the main infotainment display that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as various third-party apps. The other screen is an all-digital driver display. The car lacks a traditional dashboard, but it makes up for it with ample storage space, including two hooks for bags. To drive the vehicle, there is a rotary dial, and the two-spoke steering wheel features mounted controls that are reminiscent of older iPod models.

The MG Comet EV is available in three single-tone options: White, Black, and Silver. Additionally, there are two dual-tone options available for the vehicle, namely Green with a Black roof and White with a Black roof.
