JSW MG Motor India has refreshed its most compact electric car, the 2025 Comet EV, with a range of feature updates while keeping the design unchanged. The biggest highlight this time is its updated variant list and the option to purchase the vehicle under the BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) model. Starting at just Rs. 4.99 lakh (ex-showroom) without the battery, the Comet EV is positioned as an affordable and practical city commuter.
Variants
The 2025 Comet EV is now available in five standard variants: Executive, Excite, Excite Fast Charge (FC), Exclusive, and Exclusive Fast Charge. Additionally, there’s a special Blackstorm edition that stands out with a ‘Starry Black’ paint job, dark chrome accents, and an all-black cabin.
Here’s a quick look at the pricing:
| Variant | BaaS Price | Full Price (with Battery) |
|---|---|---|
| Executive | Rs. 4,99,000 | Rs. 6,99,800 |
| Excite | Rs. 6,25,000 | Rs. 8,25,800 |
| Excite FC | Rs. 6,77,000 | Rs. 8,77,800 |
| Exclusive | Rs. 7,35,000 | Rs. 9,35,800 |
| Exclusive FC | Rs. 7,77,000 | Rs. 9,77,800 |
Note: Under the BaaS model, customers pay Rs. 2.5 per km for the battery on a subscription basis.
Mid-spec
For those eyeing the mid-level Excite and Excite FC trims, MG has now added a couple of handy upgrades. You now get a rear-view camera and power-folding ORVMs — two practical additions that improve ease of use, especially in tight city spots. These features are still not available on the base Executive variant, which keeps things simple to maintain the price tag.
Top-end
Things get even better if you’re going for the Exclusive and Exclusive FC variants. These top trims now come with a four-speaker sound system and faux leatherette seat covers. That might sound like a small change, but it’s a real bonus considering how easily the previous light grey fabric interiors used to get dirty.
Also, while all variants come with a standard 3.3kW AC charger, the Excite and Exclusive variants can be optioned with a much quicker 7.4kW charger. That means you can fully charge your EV in just 3.5 hours — pretty convenient if you’re always on the move.
Powertrain
Mechanically, nothing has changed under the skin. The Comet EV still uses the rear-mounted electric motor that delivers 42bhp and 110Nm of torque. It’s paired with a 17.3kWh battery pack, offering a range of up to 230km on a full charge as per MIDC figures. That’s more than enough for daily city runs and short weekend getaways.
Value
With a flexible ownership model, the new feature additions, and a focus on urban mobility, the 2025 Comet EV becomes an even more attractive package for young drivers, city dwellers, and those looking for their first electric car. You can pick a version that fits your budget and needs — whether you’re looking for premium feel, fast charging, or simply the most affordable entry into EV ownership.
