MG Comet EV vs Tata Altroz: which should you buy?
The Tata Altroz starts at ₹6.30L against the MG Comet EV's ₹7.80L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.50L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹10.07L, where the Comet EV tops out. Past that only the Altroz has anything left to sell you, up to ₹10.77L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Altroz seats 5, the Comet EV 4.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Comet EV comes in electric, the Altroz in petrol, diesel and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹10.07L to both showrooms and you come out with the Comet EV Exclusive at ₹10.07L or the Altroz Creative S at ₹9.82L, the Altroz leaving ₹0.25L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.25L more for the Comet EV Exclusive: all-wheel disc brakes, tyre pressure monitor and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: drive modes and driver display (10.25" digital against Semi-digital). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Tata Altroz seats 5, worth knowing if you need the space
- The Comet EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- The Altroz Creative S is the strongest of the two at 73 PS
- Also on the Comet EV Exclusive: electronic parking brake + auto hold, regenerative braking, 60:40 split rear seat and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Tata Altroz Creative S if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.25L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the MG Comet EV Exclusive if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
