Compact Yet Spacious Interior Magic
Slip inside the Comet EV, and its 2,974mm length fools you—rear passengers stretch legs thanks to a smart 2,010mm wheelbase, fitting four adults snugly with 470L boot space for weekend grocery runs or camera gear hauls.
Dual 10.25-inch floating screens dominate the dash, one for crisp digital cluster readouts, the other blasting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless Spotify jams during test drives.

Rear AC vents ensure no one’s left sweating, while the digital key-sharing lets you hand over control via Bluetooth—perfect for family rides or lending to a buddy for a quick errand.

Powertrain Delivers Zippy Fun
The 17.3kWh lithium-ion pack juices a permanent magnet synchronous motor churning 42PS and 110Nm, zipping 0-100kmph in under 19 seconds with a playful top end around 100kmph.
Claimed 230km ARAI range drops to a real-world 180-200km in city traffic, ideal for Amloh-to-Chandigarh loops without range anxiety.

Charging Gets Smarter and Faster
