MG Gloster Black Storm launched at Rs. 40.3 lakh
MG Motor has introduced the all-new 'Black Storm' edition of its flagship SUV, the Gloster, in India. It carries a starting price tag of Rs. 40.3 lakh (ex-showroom). The special edition SUV is available in four variants. It features a Metal Black paint scheme with red accents all around and draws power from the same 2.0-liter, twin-turbocharged diesel engine from the standard model.
Why does this story matter?
In recent years, SUVs have been the most sought-after body style across the globe. To benefit from the trend, almost all carmakers are launching new offerings in the SUV segment. Tata Motors introduced the Red Dark edition of Safari in February this year. The model became a runaway success. Now, British automaker MG Motor has also chosen a similar design path for the Gloster.
The SUV rides on 19-inch wheels
To differentiate from the standard model, the MG Gloster Black Storm edition gets a unique Metal Black paint scheme with multiple red accents. It features red garnishing on the front and rear skid plates, ORVMs, door panels, and headlight clusters. The SUV flaunts a sculpted hood, LED projector headlamps with integrated DRLs, wrap-around LED taillights, 19-inch blacked-out wheels, and quad exhaust tips.
It draws power from a 215hp, 2.0-liter turbo-diesel engine
Powering the MG Gloster Black Storm edition is a 2.0-liter, twin-turbocharged diesel engine from the standard model. It develops a maximum power of 215hp and 480Nm of peak torque. The mill is linked to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, with an optional all-wheel-drive system.
It gets a panoramic sunroof and red-colored ambient lighting
Inside, the MG Gloster Black Storm edition features an all-black seven-seater cabin with red trims on the dashboard, leather upholstery, center console switches, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, floor mats, and door pads. It gets red-colored ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, and a 12.28-inch infotainment system. Passengers' safety is ensured by Level-1 ADAS functions and multiple airbags.
