Exclusive: MG Comet EV Spotted Undisguised In Neon Green Colour Ahead Of Launch | V3Cars
The MG Comet EV was spotted on test several times over the past few months. Yesterday, we spotted the Comet EV in black colour and on the same spot, we spotted another Comet EV, finished in a neon green exterior colour.
MG Comet EV Spotted Undisguised In Neon Green Colour
When MG revealed the first official images of the new Comet EV, they revealed some of the colour options for the upcoming small electric vehicle. However, the colour black and neon green were not part of the palette. Nevertheless, our exclusive spy shot shows the Comet EV sporting a neon green paint option and we expect it to be part of the Comet EV colour options at launch. Our images also reveal a generous use of chrome around the side, which include the ORVMs, doors and D-pillars.

The MG Comet EV offers a modern design, featuring LED headlights and taillights, in a compact footprint. Expected to measure under 3 metres, the Comet EV is even smaller than the Tata Nano. It will offer a 3 door bodystyle with space to seat 4 passengers, including the driver. To attract younger buyers, MG are likely to pack the Comet EV with new-age features, which are listed below.
MG Comet EV Interiors Officially Teased
The MG Comet EV will offer a twin connected screen layout, similar to the one seen in the latest Mercedes-Benz cars. A video released by MG earlier this month also revealed the design of the Comet EV’s 2-spoke steering wheel. The steering wheel gets round controls for multimedia, which take inspiration from the iconic iPod control dial.
In terms of features, the Comet EV could offer a reverse parking camera, keyless entry with push-button start/stop, electronic parking brake with auto hold, rotary gear selector, LED headlights, LED taillights, electronically-adjustable outside rear view mirrors (ORVMs) and front power windows.

MG Comet EV Expected Powertrain Details
MG are yet to reveal the powertrain details of the Comet EV.
