The Candy White exterior of his Comet EV complements his MG Hector. While customization options are available, Rohit chose the classic look. In an Instagram post, he highlighted the spacious interior, easy maneuverability on crowded Mumbai streets, and unparalleled ease of operation.
Renowned for his roles in films like ‘Kaabil,’ ‘Mumbai Saga,’ and ‘Forensic,’ Rohit Roy also starred in the Bengali film ‘Chengiz,’ centered around the Kolkata underworld. Besides MG models, his collection includes a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and he recently added an Ultraviolette F77 to his assortment of bikes.
The MG Comet EV, despite its compact size, offers a roomy cabin and features a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, digital driver’s display, and wireless connectivity supporting both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Its 17.3 kWh battery pack, coupled with a 42 PS electric motor, provides a claimed range of 230 km. With prices ranging from Rs 7.98 lakh to Rs 9.98 lakh (ex-showroom), the Comet EV stands as a compelling option in the electric vehicle market, competing with models like the Tata Tiago EV and Citroen eC3.
