The Comet EV features 12-inch wheels, asymmetrical window design, and five distinct color choices with different graphic packs. The white and grey interior has a pair of 10.25-inch screens for the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster, and the front passenger seat features a one-touch tumble and fold feature while the rear seats have a 50:50 split. The Comet is also equipped with a rotary drive selector, 55 connected features, manual AC controls, three USB ports, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The car prioritizes its driver’s safety through the reverse camera and sensors, dual front airbags, ABS, EBD, and tire pressure monitoring. The Comet EV’s 17.3 kWh battery is ARAI-certified with a range of 230 km, and it has a 3.3 kW onboard charger that takes seven hours to fully charge the battery. A single electric motor powers the car, generating 42 Hp and 110 Nm of torque, with a top speed of 70 km/h.
