MG has joined the bandwagon of offering special editions and has introduced the Gloster Black Storm, a blacked-out special edition, which gets a few cosmetic changes over the standard model. It is based on the regular model's top-spec Savvy trim.

How Much To Shell Out?

MG is offering the Black Storm edition of its full-size SUV in a total of four variants priced as follows:

New Cosmetic Touches For The Black Storm

The most significant updates to the Black Storm edition are the red inserts in the headlight clusters, and red highlights on the ORVM housings and brake callipers, in the door cladding and bumpers. MG has also redesigned the grille which now features a honeycomb mesh-like pattern in place of the horizontal chrome slats. There is also a new “Black Storm” badge to identify the special edition variant of the Gloster. All chrome bits on the SUV’s exterior have been replaced with black finishes including the fog lamp garnish and window surround.

Its cabin features new highlights too, including red ambient lighting in the dashboard and door pads, contrast red stitching for the leatherette upholstery and red accents on the steering wheel.

Any New Features?

The special edition is only a cosmetic treatment for the Gloster and doesn’t add any new features to the SUV’s already expansive equipment list. The MG Gloster already comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen system, a digital driver’s display, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging and a 12-way adjustable driver seat. It gets an all-terrain system with seven drive modes: Snow, Mud, Sand, Eco, Sport, Normal, and Rock.

Its safety net is headlined by advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), six airbags, electronic stability programme (ESP), and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Price And Variants Update

Apart from the special edition, MG has also introduced new 8-seater variants of the standard Gloster while getting rid of the 6-seater trims. Not only that, the carmaker has also given the SUV a big price cut across the range.

Here’s a look at its revised variant-wise prices:

No Change In Powertrain

The Gloster’s Black Storm edition has been provided with the standard model’s 2-litre twin-turbo diesel engine (216PS/479Nm) with a 4-wheel drivetrain (4WD). There’s also a 2-litre diesel engine (161PS/374Nm) with a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup on offer. Both engines come paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Competitors

Although the SUV’s special edition doesn’t have any direct rivals, the Gloster faces competition from the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq.

MG is offering the Gloster Black Storm with the “My MG Shield” ownership programme, offering over 180 after-sales service options. Its customers will also get the standard 3+3+3 package, inclusive of a 3-year/unlimited km warranty, 3-year roadside assistance, and 3 labour-free periodic services.
