TATA TIAGO EV VS MG COMET EV (2025) THE ₹1 LAKH QUESTION

Is spending just a bit more for the Tiago EV really worth it?

Is spending just a bit more for the Tiago EV really worth it? When I got a chance to drive the Tata EV, that's the only question that was haunting me, and that's why I decided to look at the car from that perspective. In the burgeoning world of EVs, micro-mobility is having a moment. With cities getting denser and daily commutes becoming more localised, cars like the MG Comet EV have found a niche. But then comes the Tata Tiago EV, a hatchback that promises a whole lot more for just around Rs 1 lakh extra. So, is it worth the upgrade? Let's get straight to it.

SIZE AND SPACE

The MG Comet EV is the poster child for compact urban mobility. Its tiny footprint makes it easy to park and zip through traffic, but that comes at the cost of interior space.

While it can technically seat four, it's best for two adults and the occasional short-distance companion in the back.

The Tiago EV, in contrast, sticks to the conventional hatchback proportions. It's a full-fledged five-seater with a proper boot. That makes a difference not just for families but also for anyone looking to pack more than just a backpack for their weekend trip. Road presence is another factor. The Tiago EV looks and feels like a real car, while the Comet leans heavily into its quirky-cute microcar image.
