JSW MG Motor India has introduced the new MG Hector Storm Series in India with two limited-edition versions, the Hector Blackstorm and Hector Snowstorm. Both editions bring darker styling, exclusive interior details and sporty red accents. Both are priced at ₹19.99 lakh ex-showroom.
The Hector Storm Series is primarily a styling update rather than a mechanical one. MG has retained the familiar 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine and CVT automatic transmission.
MG Hector Storm Series: Blackstorm vs Snowstorm
The biggest difference between the two editions is their exterior colour theme. The Blackstorm gets an all-black exterior, while the Snowstorm combines a Pearl White body with a Starry Black roof.
| Feature | Hector Blackstorm | Hector Snowstorm |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior colour | All Black | Pearl White |
| Roof | Black | Starry Black |
| Interior | Nimbus Black | Nimbus Black |
| Alloy wheels | Aura Storm Blade | Aura Storm Blade |
| Brake calipers | Red | Red |
| Engine | 1.5L Turbo Petrol | 1.5L Turbo Petrol |
| Gearbox | CVT | CVT |
| Seating | 5 seater | 5 seater |
| Price | ₹19.99 lakh | ₹19.99 lakh |
MG Hector Blackstorm Gets an All-Black Look
The Hector Blackstorm is the darker and more aggressive-looking of the two Storm Series editions.
MG has given the SUV an all-black exterior theme, complemented by dark chrome elements across the vehicle. The black treatment extends to the grille, MG logos, skid plates and body side cladding.
Red brake calipers add a contrasting sporty touch to the otherwise dark exterior.
New Storm Hex Grille Takes Centre Stage
One of the key styling changes on the MG Hector Storm Series is the new all-black Storm Hex Grille.
The grille gives the front end a darker appearance and is paired with piano-black headlamp bezels and other black exterior elements. The front bumper also gets a new garnish, while the rear bumper receives matching treatment.
Aura Storm Blade Alloys With Red Brake Calipers
The Storm Series gets new Aura Storm Blade alloy wheels.
Behind the dark alloy wheels are red brake calipers, adding a sporty contrast to the exterior. The combination of dark alloys and red accents is one of the main visual highlights of the Storm Series.
MG Hector Snowstorm Gets a White-and-Black Theme
The Hector Snowstorm takes a more contrasting approach to the Storm Series design.
It gets a Pearl White exterior paired with a Starry Black roof, creating a two-tone appearance. The black roof works with the dark grille, black exterior details and red accents to give the SUV a sportier look.
The Snowstorm also gets the same Storm-specific styling elements as the Blackstorm, including the Storm Hex Grille, Aura Storm Blade alloy wheels and red brake calipers.
Darker Details Across the Exterior
The Storm Series gets several styling changes that work together to create its darker appearance.
- Dark chrome MG logos
- Dark chrome skid plates
- Dark chrome tailgate accents
- Dark chrome body side cladding
- Piano-black roof rails
- Piano-black headlamp bezels
- Smoked connected tail lamps
- Red brake calipers
- Storm-specific front and rear bumper garnishes
Nimbus Black Interior Gives the Cabin a New Theme
The darker treatment continues inside the Hector Storm Series.
Both editions feature a Nimbus Black interior with all-black leather upholstery and dark interior accents. The front headrests get exclusive Blackstorm or Snowstorm embossing depending on the version.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel also gets a gunmetal finish, adding some contrast to the black cabin.
Storm Series Package Adds More Personalisation
MG is also offering an exclusive Storm Series package for the two editions.
