- Available with 2WD and 4WD configurations
- Mechanically remains unchanged
MG Motor has launched a new Blackstorm edition of the Gloster in India at Rs. 40.30 lakh (ex-showroom). This new special edition is available with 2WD and 4WD configurations in six- and seven-seater guise. It offers cosmetic changes to the exterior and interior of the Gloster SUV.
On the outside, the Gloster Blackstorm edition stands out from the standard variants with the Metal Black paint scheme with red accents in various places. The front and rear skid plates, ORVMs, door panels, and headlight clusters get the red garnish treatment. Then there’s ‘Blackstorm’ badging on the front fenders along with the 'Gloster' lettering on the tailgate which is finished in black paint. It also gets a newly designed blacked-out front grille, which now sports a hexagonal mesh pattern instead of the chrome slat on the standard trim. Other elements like the alloy wheels, roof rails, smoked taillights, window and fog lamp surrounds are masked in black hue.
The dark theme is carried over inside the cabin as well. The dashboard and upholstery are now finished in black with red accents, instead of the standard black and tan brown theme. Plus, the bold red hue is seen on the dashboard and centre console buttons, steering wheel, floor mats, door pads, stitching on seat upholstery and ambient lighting.
Under the hood, it is powered by the same BS6 Phase 2-updated 2.0-litre diesel engine with turbo and twin-turbo options. Both engine options get an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of the two powertrains, the twin-turbo variant also has a 4WD configuration.
