MG Motor India has launched the new Hector Blackstorm and Snowstorm special edition models, both starting at Rs 19,99,800 ex-showroom. The standard MG Hector range starts from Rs 11.99 lakh ex-showroom. These limited-run Hector Storm Series models sit above the top-spec Savvy Pro trim, commanding a reasonable premium of Rs 35,000 over the Savvy Pro CVT variants. In return, drivers get custom visual tweaks, a dark-themed cabin, and an exclusive dealership-fitted accessory package at no extra cost.
Bold Exterior Styling and Distinct Visual Themes
While both editions share key design updates, they cater to two distinct cosmetic preferences:
- MG Hector Blackstorm Edition: Takes a completely dark approach, dressed in a sleek all-black exterior paint scheme.
- MG Hector Snowstorm Edition: Uses a high-contrast theme, pairing a Pearl White body with a Starry Night finish across the roof.
Key Exterior Highlights
- New Front Grille & Detailing: Features an all-black Storm Hex grille alongside piano-black front and rear bumper garnishes.
- Wheels & Accents: Fitted with standard blacked-out Aura Storm Blade alloy wheels paired with vibrant red brake calipers.
- Dark Chrome Finish: Dark chrome detailing applied to brand logos, skid plates, tailgate accents, and body-side cladding.
- Lighting & Rails: Piano-black roof rails, LED headlamps with piano-black bezels, and smoked connected tail lamps at the rear.
Complimentary Dealer Accessory Package
To sweeten the deal, MG offers a Storm Series package fitted at dealerships at no additional charge. This includes:
- Edition-specific badges and logos
- Red tailgate accent and fog lamp garnish/surrounds
- Outside rearview mirror (ORVM) protectors with red accents
- Side-step boards
Nimbus Black Interior and Cabin Comforts
Inside, both models feature what MG calls a Nimbus Black interior. The cabin swaps out standard tones for an all-black aesthetic, combining black leather seat upholstery with dark cabin accents and a leather-wrapped steering wheel finished in gunmetal. To signal their limited-edition status, the front seat headrests feature embossed Blackstorm or Snowstorm branding depending on the model chosen.
Convenience & Comfort Highlights
- Dual-pane panoramic sunroof
- Eight-colour ambient lighting system
- Automatic powered tailgate
- Air purifier equipped with a PM2.5 filter
- Rain-sensing windscreen wipers and front parking sensors
14-Inch Touchscreen and Connected Tech
Technology remains a strong selling point for the Hector range, and the Storm Series retains the brand’s signature 14-inch portrait HD touchscreen.
- Smart Boost & i-SWIPE: MG’s Smart Boost technology enhances processing speed and responsiveness. The i-SWIPE gesture control system allows occupants to adjust air conditioning, music, and navigation using two- or three-finger gestures.
- Digital Displays: The main central display is accompanied by a seven-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver.
- i-SMART Connectivity: The proprietary i-SMART system comes with over 70 connected-car features, including predictive maintenance alerts and remote control over functions like air conditioning, audio, and ambient lighting.
- Digital Bluetooth Key: Enables seamless key-sharing capability directly from a smartphone.
