MG Comet Blackstorm Edition: What’s on offer?

In true ‘Blackstorm’ fashion, the MG Comet Blackstorm Edition flaunts an all-black exterior with red highlights. The hood branding, fog lamp garnish, front and skid rear skid plates, wheel covers, and body side moulding are finished in red. The special ‘Blackstorm’  badging can be found on the side fender.

Inside, the headrests of the front seats have the ‘Blackstorm’ branding. The cabin exudes the all-black look. In terms of feature upgrades, the special edition EV gets a 4-speaker sound system. The regular variant has a 2-speaker setup.

The MG Comet EV is one of the most feature-decked urban commuters in the market. It flaunts two 10.25-inch screens for the touchscreen infotainment system and the digital instrument cluster.
