MG Gloster Blackstorm launched in India
MG Motor India launches the Blackstorm edition of its premium SUV — Gloster.
The dimensions of the Gloster remain unchanged with a length of 4,985mm, a width of 1,926mm and height of 1,867mm. However, the exterior gets a new look for this edition. MG has opted for the popular all-black look that has worked well for other manufacturers such as Tata Motors’ ‘Dark Edition’, Maruti Suzuki’s ‘Black Edition’ and Volkswagen’s ‘Deep Black Pearl’ to name a few.
The Gloster Blackstorm comes in two paint options, Metal Black and Metal Ash, with black elements for the roof rails, tail-lamp and headlamp housing, the window trim and the fog lamp housing. Even the alloy wheels get the Blackstorm treatment to complete the overall look.
Apart from getting a black treatment, the exterior also features the use of red accents on headlamps, brake calipers, front and rear bumpers and even on the wing mirrors.
The interior, too, gets the black-and-red treatment, with an all-black interior upholstery and red accents on the steering and dashboard. The Gloster Blackstorm edition comes with all the bells and whistles that are offered on the regular Gloster. These include a 12-way adjustable driver’s seat, eight-way adjustable passenger’s seat, a dual panoramic sunroof and a host of safety features including advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that is present on other models of the Gloster, lane-change assist and adaptive cruise control.
Gloster Blackstorm will be available in 6 and 7-seater options. The 6-seater layout features six captain seats, while the 7-seater features a bench for the third row.
The regular Gloster will also get an 8-seater variant, which is expected to have a bench in the middle and last row.
