Both EVs come with a single battery option, with the VF3 featuring the larger battery. However, the MG Comet has a surprising twist in this regard.

The Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 showcased an expansive lineup of vehicles, with a standout presence from the Vietnamese brand VinFast, which is all set to debut in the Indian market. Among the many vehicles unveiled, the compact VF3 micro-EV caught the most attention. Its cute and compact nature sparked curiosity, prompting us to compare it with the MG Comet EV to see how these two tiny EVs measure up. Let’s dive into this comparison in our report.

VinFast VF3 vs MG Comet: Price

Starting from Rs 10 lakh (expected)

Rs 5 lakh to Rs 9.65 lakh

Comparing the prices of these tiny EVs might not be entirely fair just yet, as VinFast has not revealed the pricing for the VF3 in India. We’ll need to wait for its official launch to see how it stacks up against the MG Comet. However, there’s a notable advantage in the Comet’s case. It comes with MG’s battery rental scheme, allowing buyers to pay separately for battery usage. This significantly lowers the upfront cost of the car’s body, making it more affordable.

 

On the other hand, there is a possibility that VinFast might also introduce a similar battery rental scheme in the future. If not, the VF3 could be positioned at a slight premium compared to the Comet. This pricing difference could also be attributed to other factors, such as the VF3’s larger battery, rugged SUV-like design, and additional capabilities, which we’ll explore further.

 The MG Comet does a few things in this list to impress. While the VinFast VF3 comes with a slightly bigger battery paired with a single motor, it churns out similar torque but slightly reduced power than the MG Comet. In fact, the Comet also has a more claimed range compared to the global-spec VF 3. The Comet however doesn’t support fast charging, while the VF3 offers an option for quick charging in a hurry. Both cars also feature distinctive drivetrains.
