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 |
MG Comet EV |
|
Price (ex-showroom) |
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.

Although both cars look as cute as miniatures on the roads, the VinFast VF 3 is the bigger one when pulling the measuring tape by length, breadth, and wheelbase. The Comet, however, stands a bit taller and offers more space in its boot to store an extra bag during road trips.
That considered, let’s move on to the performance of both cars.

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.
Moving on to the next point.

The India-spec feature set of the VinFast VF3 has not yet been revealed, but based on what we've seen from its global model, it offers features that complement its MG rival.
As of now, the VinFast VF3 has only been showcased, and its India launch has not been confirmed by the Vietnamese automaker. Meanwhile, the MG Comet is already available for sale in India. The decision on which car to pick will be better understood once the VF3 arrives in its final form, but for now, we’d love to know: if you had to choose between these two tiny EVs, which one would you roll into your garage? Let us know in the comments.
