MG Motor India has announced the commencement of production for the upcoming Comet EV at its Halol plant in Gujrat. The Comet is based on the SAIC group’s GSEV platform.
A press release from the carmaker noted that the GSEV-based vehicles have been very successful in global markets, with more than one million units sold so far.
The company noted that the platform is designed with ease of usage in mind, ensuring hassle-free manoeuvring on congested roads and effortless parking capabilities. Moreover, safety is also a top priority for the GSEV platform, with a solid steel frame providing a strong foundation for the vehicle body and airbags, ensuring maximum protection for passengers.
Interestingly, the MG Comet is said to be using 17 hot stamping panels spread across the body-in-white to enhance structural safety.
Additionally, the Comet is equipped with various smart features that complement the GSEV platform, including Internet of Vehicles (IoV), multimedia, and connected features.
Biju Balendran, Chief Operating Officer, MG Motor India, said, “The recent Urban Mobility Happiness Survey conducted by Nielsen unequivocally brings out the fact that a compact smart electric vehicle is the preferred choice of urban commuters when it comes to commuting.”
According to the survey, 90% of people felt that a compact smart car can reduce their travel time in the city, solving many of the challenges they face during their commute every day.
