While the new Tiago EV comes in six monotone paint choices, the MG Comet EV is offered in only three exterior colourways.
Although there are only three monotone colour options available with MG’s ultra-compact EV, the carmaker does provide plenty of ways to customize it with over 250 combinations of stickers, graphics and even three packs to personalise its exterior and interior.
All the above mentioned paint options of the Tiago EV are available with the choice of a black roof, although it is reserved for its top-spec Creative Plus variant.

The two EVs share similar features, including LED headlights, a 2-spoke steering wheel, a large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a reverse parking camera.
That said, it’s the Tata Tiago EV that is equipped with a lot more creature comforts given its price and positioning. Key amenities include automatic climate control with rear AC vents, a 6-way adjustable driver seat, cruise control, a wireless phone charger, six airbags, and even a 360-degree camera, which is a new addition.
Even the Comet EV has some of its own advantages. MG offers it with a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, a 10.25-inch all-digital driver’s display, a 6-speaker music system, all-wheel disc brakes, and even an electronic parking brake.

While the Tiago EV comes with two battery pack options and a single electric motor in different states of tune (depending on the variant chosen), the Comet EV gets a single electric powertrain setup.
Between the 2026 Tata Tiago EV and MG Comet EV, it’s the former that has a choice of more potent electric powertrains, comprising larger battery packs and a more powerful electric motor in both the versions.
Hence, the Tiago EV has a higher claimed range figure with its larger battery pack but the Comet EV slightly edges out the entry-level version of the Tiago EV when it comes to the claimed range.

CarDekho Says…
The Tata Tiago EV has been a proven product in the market for almost an additional year over the MG Comet EV. Its recent update has made it even more stylish than before while also bringing some segment-first features, which has only amplified its appeal. It offers two powertrain choices and a claimed range of over 285 km with the larger battery pack, potentially making it the primary car in your garage to handle intercity commutes without worries.
On the other hand, the Comet EV is for those looking for compact urban mobility on a relatively affordable side but with no compromises on tech and safety. MG has ensured that it packs just about enough range to get you over a week’s city drives while guaranteeing that you won’t get bored inside its cabin, thanks to the variety of tech on board. That said, its lack of DC fast charging might hurt some buyers.
While the Tiago EV has no direct rivals, you can also consider these electric offerings, besides the Comet EV, if you’re shopping in this segment:
Tata Punch EV: Consider it an SUV version of the Tiago. It offers larger battery pack, spacious cabin, a lot more range and loads of features.
Citroen eC3: With impressive ride quality, compact proportions and a spacious interior, it can be an SUV alternative to the Tiago.
