Upcoming MG Small Electric Vehicle Christened Comet EV

MG had last year confirmed that it would be launching its second EV in India in 2023. Now with the launch inching closer, the carmaker has revealed a new name for its small EV. While previously referred to as the MG Air EV, the small electric hatchback will go on sale in India as the MG Comet EV. MG says that the name harks back to a British aircraft that participated in an inter-continental race back in 1934.
