MG Comet EV | Ideal Or Impractical? | Road Test Review

MG Comet, being made on a dedicated electric platform, liberates a decent space on the inside. The battery is placed beneath the floor, and the floorboard is flat since there isn't any transmission tunnel.HVAC systems, infotainment, and instrument electronics take centre stage, and above and below that is considerable amount of space - the glass area is wider. The absence of any partition underneath results in a lack of support for the left leg. Moreover, there isn't any storage space apart from two cuppy holes on either side of the dashboard and a small dedicated shelf in front of the passenger seat. There is decent space in the area of the doors for your water bottles and umbrellas. I wish there could be some dedicated space near the armrest; I could only manage to keep my phone in that space.  

Plastic quality is great, soft-touch material all around, fit and finish of the dashboard and switches are premium. There is a sense of techy occasion on the inside, courtesy of a glossy white theme along with a two-spoke steering wheel with iPod-like controls. The wide glass area and bright white cabin make it feel fresh; however, keeping the interiors clean will be a bit of a task. The stains and dirt became noticeable within a week of cautious use. 

The door opening is vast, and one can have easy egress and ingress. The seating arrangement comfortably accommodates four adults despite being constrained by the dimensions. By comfortable, I mean - ideal only for short trips and short people. Well, you anyways can ONLY take Comet EV on short journeys. 

In terms of storage space, there is barely any place to keep any luggage bag. The space is suitable only for charging cables and one or two laptop bags. Fold down the 50:50 folding rear seats, and you have a decent space to carry your airport baggage.
