The name of MG Motor India's upcoming Smart EV is "Comet," continuing the company's nearly century-long tradition of creating recognisable cars. The eponymous 1934 Iconic British aircraft that competed in the England-Australia MacRobertson Air Race served as the source of the name's origin.
The arrival of the "Comet" coincides with a period in which driving in crowded metropolitan areas is turning into a stressful chore that necessitates the urgent need for innovative and futuristic solutions due to rising fuel prices, a lack of parking spaces, and rising pollution. Electric cars can help lessen the impact on the environment, save money, and provide comfort and convenience. The "Comet" takes this idea a step further by offering connected, automatic, electric, and shared transportation that is seamless.
According to Mr. Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director, MG Motor India, “Urban mobility is at a point of inflexion where New Age solutions are needed to address both the current as well the forthcoming challenges. As we move further into the digital age, we will witness an exceedingly large number of innovations that could range from futuristic technologies to unique designs to clean mobility and many others. We at MG, through ‘Comet’, intend to take the needed decisive steps and a 'leap of faith' in the direction of creating solutions for a better future for each one of us.”
The current lineup of cars from MG Motor India includes models like the Hector, which was inspired by a British World War II fighter biplane constructed in the late 1930s. Similar to that, the Gloster is called after a British-built jet-engine prototype aircraft that made its first flight in 1941.
