MG Comet EV: Interior Layout and Features

The new teaser indicates what will be on offer inside the cabin. Its dashboard will be dominated by dual 10.25-inch screens for the touchscreen infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. MG states that the infotainment screen will provide three customisable pages where users can change between media, connectivity, and media functions. The infotainment system will also offer fully customisable widgets of varying dimension and support voice commands.

You will also notice that the teaser image reveals the premium materials that are being used for the Comet EV’s dashboard. The slim AC vents under the infotainment system are finished in an aluminium trim while a gloss-black trim surrounds the physical climate control buttons. 

The new electric vehicle will get a two-spoke steering wheel that fits right into the small car’s minimalist interior theme.
