MG Motor India has taken the wraps off the much-anticipated MG Hector Blackstorm Edition, injecting a dose of dramatic flair into their popular SUV lineup. This special edition caters to drivers seeking a bold and aggressive aesthetic, all while retaining the comfort, features, and performance that have made the Hector a success story in the Indian market.
Striking a Dark Chord: The Blackstorm’s Captivating Design
The MG Hector Blackstorm Edition throws subtlety out the window, embracing a head-turning all-black exterior. This isn’t just any black, though. MG has opted for a sophisticated Starry Black paint job that shimmers under the light, accentuated by dark chrome elements. The iconic Argyle-inspired diamond mesh grille gets a menacing treatment with a dark chrome finish, setting the tone for the SUV’s assertive stance.

Complementing the dark exterior are piano black accents that grace the roof rails, headlamp bezels, and the liftgate garnish. Even the side body cladding receives the dark treatment, creating a cohesive and imposing visual. Smoked connected taillights add a touch of mystery to the rear, while 18-inch black alloy wheels with red brake callipers complete the aggressive look.
A Luxurious Cabin with a Touch of Darkness
Step inside the MG Hector Blackstorm Edition, and you’re greeted by a sangria and black themed interior that exudes a sense of luxury and sportiness. The premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship create a cabin environment that feels both sophisticated and driver-focused.
Taking center stage is the massive 14-inch portrait-style touchscreen infotainment system, a hallmark of the MG Hector. This system provides access to a plethora of features, including navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. Passengers will appreciate the climate control system with rear AC vents, ensuring everyone in the car stays comfortable during long journeys.

For the driver, the MG Hector Blackstorm Edition offers a power driver’s seat for optimal comfort, while a digital instrument cluster displays all the vital information in a clear and concise manner. Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) provide an extra layer of safety and convenience, making highway cruising a breeze.
Unleashing the Power: Engine Options for the Blackstorm
The MG Hector Blackstorm Edition isn’t just about looks; it packs a punch under the hood as well. Prospective buyers have the choice between two potent engines: a 1.5-litre petrol engine or a 2.0-litre diesel engine.
The petrol engine churns out a healthy 141 bhp and 250 Nm of torque, offering a balance between performance and fuel efficiency. It can be paired with either a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission or a convenient CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) gearbox.
For those who crave the extra grunt of a diesel engine, the 2.0-litre unit in the Blackstorm Edition delivers a robust 168 bhp and a phenomenal 350 Nm of torque. This engine is exclusively mated to a six-speed manual transmission, providing a more engaging driving experience.
