MG Motor India christens its soon-to-be-launched Smart EV as ‘Comet’
The name ‘Comet’ draws inspiration from an iconic 1934 British aeroplane.
Building on its nearly century-old legacy of producing iconic automobiles, MG Motor India today announced the name of its upcoming Smart EV as ‘Comet’. As with other SUV models in the British brand’s line-up that have names inspired from iconic aircraft, the name chosen for the news model gets its inspiration from the 1934 British aircraft which participated in the England-Australia MacRobertson Air Race.
The ‘Comet’ is here at a time when driving in congested urban cities is becoming a stressful chore that calls for an urgent need for agile and futuristic solutions amidst skyrocketing fuel costs, sparse parking spaces, and increasing pollution, said the carmaker.
Says 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.”
