The new special edition will also receive the ‘Black Storm’ badging on the front fender.

Inside, the special edition MG Gloster gets an all-black interior with red highlights. The SUV gets black leather upholstery with red stitching. It will also get red backlight and red ambient lighting. MG Gloster comes with features like ventilated seats, climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a powered driver’s seat, autonomous parallel parking, and other ADAS features.
