This special edition of the MG Hector features a dual-tone exterior in white and black, complemented by all-black design elements and red accents throughout. At the front, it boasts an all-black grille with a black 'MG' logo, blacked-out headlight housings, and a black skid plate with a silver insert. Along the sides, you’ll find all-black 18-inch alloy wheels paired with red brake callipers, while the outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) also receive a sleek black treatment.

At the rear, you’ll find smoked connected LED tail lights, along with a dark chrome garnish just below it. The red inserts on the headlight cluster, ORVMs, and tailgate enhance the overall sporty appeal. Just like at the front, the ‘Hector’ badging is also blacked out at the back. Additionally, there’s a Snowstorm moniker on the side, which can be added as an accessory at the dealership during delivery.

Inside, you get an all-black interior theme along with black leatherette upholstery with the Hector Snowstorm. The front seat headrests also wear the ‘Snowstorm’ moniker, while there are some gun metal accents on the centre console, steering wheel, and door handles. In terms of features it comes with a 14-inch touchscreen, an 8-speaker Infinity sound system, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.

The Astor Blackstorm comes in an all-black exterior shade featuring red highlights inside and out. The grille, 17-inch alloy wheels, front and rear bumpers, and roof rails have been blacked out. The looks are further enhanced by red inserts below the headlights, on the ORVMs, and by red brake callipers. However, unlike the Hector Snowstorm edition, the MG logo here doesn’t get black treatment.

Inside, you are greeted with an all-black cabin, featuring all-black dashboard and black seat upholstery. There are some red highlights inside as well in the form of stitching on the dashboard and on the seats, and red inserts around the AC vents.

The front seat headrests also get ‘Blackstorm’ badging. Features on board the Astor Blackstorm include a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch fully digital driver’s display, a 6-speaker sound system, and a panoramic sunroof. The safety is taken care of by dual front airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), electronic parking brake with auto-hold (CVT), and a rear parking camera.

The Astor Blackstorm is only available with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (N/A) petrol engine:
