The MG Comet EV, a small 3-door electric hatchback, is expected to join the all-black car club soon with the probable launch of its Blackstorm edition soon. The Comet EV is expected to become the fourth MG model in its lineup to come with in this edition. It is also likely to be the first all-electric MG to get this edition. Like the current Blackstorm editions, the Comet Blackstorm will also sport an all-black exterior and interior theme with red highlights. Here’s what you can expect from the Comet Blackstorm.
All-black Exterior
As seen on the Blackstorm editions of the Hector, Astor, and Gloster, the Comet Blackstorm will feature an all-black exterior, along with blacked-out design elements such as the ORVMs, grille, and wheels. Note that the Comet is already available in a Starry Black exterior shade, however the Blackstorm version is expected to differentiate itself with red highlights on the bumper, wheels, and on the tailgate.
Cabin Updates
We are yet to see how the cabin of the MG Comet EV will look from inside. However, the blackstorm editions of the Astor and Hector get an all-black dashboard and black leatherette seat upholstery with red highlights and stitching. The Comet Blackstorm is likely to follow the same suite.
However, the feature set on the Comet Black storm is expected to be the same as its regular version. The regular version of the Comet EV comes loaded with amenities like a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a similar-sized driver’s display and manual AC. Its safety suite consists of dual front airbags, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and rear parking sensors.
No Mechanical Changes
The Comet EV Blackstorm will likely use the same battery pack options as seen on its regular counterpart. The specifications are as follows:
| Battery Pack |
17.3 kWh |
| Claimed Range (ARAI) |
230 km |
| Power |
42 PS |
| Torque |
110 Nm |
Price Range And RIvals
The MG Comet EV Blackstorm will likely be priced at a slight premium over its regular counterpart, which is priced between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 9.65 lakh. The MG Comet EV can be regarded as an affordable alternative to the Tata Tiago EV and the Citroen eC3.
