MG Comet EV vs Toyota Glanza: which should you buy?
The Toyota Glanza starts at ₹6.73L against the MG Comet EV's ₹7.80L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹1.07L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹9.99L, where the Glanza tops out. Past that only the Comet EV has anything left to sell you, up to ₹10.07L.
Only one of them takes the whole party: the Glanza seats 5, the Comet EV 4.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Comet EV comes in electric, the Glanza in petrol and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹9.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Comet EV Exclusive at ₹9.80L or the Glanza V at ₹9.99L, the Comet EV leaving ₹0.19L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.19L more for the Glanza V: airbags (6 against 2), 360° camera and head-up display. The useful extras on top: speakers (6 against 4) and cruise control. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Only the Toyota Glanza 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 Glanza V is the strongest of the two at 90 PS
- Also on the Glanza V: auto climate (single zone), auto headlamps, auto-folding wing mirrors and height-adjustable driver seat, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the MG Comet EV Exclusive if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.19L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Toyota Glanza V if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
