The MG Comet EV is set to get a Blackstorm edition, marking the first time that the company will launch a blacked-out version of one of its EVs. MG Motor India has sent out a teaser via its social media confirming the arrival of the blacked-out Comet, which hints at what will be available.

MG Comet Blackstorm exterior and interior changes
Red highlights on bonnet, wheels, and likely in the cabin
Like the Hector and Astor, both of which come with a Blackstorm version, the blacked-out Comet EV will feature a black exterior, along with red highlights. From the teaser, one can see that the front part of the bonnet, the wheel covers, and the front bumper features these highlights.
While the teaser doesn’t show it, it is likely that the Comet Blackstorm’s interior will feature black upholstery with red stitching, red highlights on the speakers and AC vents and ‘Blackstorm’ badges and embroidery.
Comet Blackstorm price is likely to start at Rs 8.5 lakh
The brand has yet to confirm on which variants the BlackStorm will be available, but MG Motor India usually offers it on mid-spec variants. The MG Comet is on sale in three trims – Executive, Excite and Exclusive – and is priced between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 9.84 lakh. Based on the increase in price of the Astor and Hector Blackstorms over their standard counterparts, expect Comet Blackstorm prices to start at Rs 8.5 lakh, as the mid-spec Excite costs Rs 8.2 lakh.
The Comet Blackstorm will be mechanically the same as the standard model, and be powered by the 17.3kWh battery that runs a 42hp, 110Nm electric motor, and that has an MIDC range of 230km.
