Gearbox Type: Single Speed Automatic
The Comet EV uses a single-speed transmission typical of electric vehicles. There are no actual gear shifts; instead, the motor's RPM range covers all driving speeds. Drivers select modes (Drive, Neutral, Reverse) via a rotary knob located on the center console. It also features three regenerative braking levels to help recharge the battery while decelerating.
Drive Type: Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)
Unlike most entry-level hatchbacks that are front-wheel drive, the MG Comet EV is a Rear Wheel Drive vehicle. The motor is mounted on the rear axle, which aids in achieving a tighter turning radius and provides better traction during acceleration from a standstill, as weight shifts toward the rear wheels.
Clutch Type: No Clutch (Direct Drive)
Since the electric motor is directly coupled to the reduction gear, there is no mechanical clutch system in the MG Comet EV. This eliminates the need for clutch maintenance and provides a seamless "two-pedal" driving experience, which is ideal for reducing driver fatigue in heavy stop-and-go urban traffic.
