What Is New In MG Comet Blackstorm Edition?
Blacked-Out Look With Red Accents
The MG Comet Blackstorm edition is based on the high-end “Exclusive” variant of the regular Comet but with a twist, the blacked-out design treatment. The exterior of the Blackstorm edition sports an ultra-premium, mysterious vibe with its ‘Starry Night’ black paint. Red accents lining the fog lamp and bumper give the EV a sporty, aggressive character while merging with the darkened ‘Comet EV’ and ‘Internet Inside’ badges at the rear.
An Eloquent Red-and-Black Interior
Brave, that boldness is continued inside the MG Comet Blackstorm. Though black leatherette upholstery lined the interior, it is certainly extraordinary with its special name ‘Blackstorm’ scripted in red over the headrests, lending some luxury and sporty feel to the interiors. Complementing this darkness theme are red accentuations, making a good attempt at aestheticism in the parent car. Other upgrades for the Blackstorm edition include a better audio system, which has been upgraded from two speakers in the standard Comet Exclusive variant to four in Blackstorm.
