A couple of days after teasing it on social media handles, MG Motor has launched the Blackstorm Edition in the market. It is the fourth Blackstorm model in the MG lineup after Hector, Gloster, and Astor. Based on the top-spec Exclusive trim, the new Comet Blackstorm edition is priced at Rs 7.80 lakh in the Battery as a Service (BaaS) module with a battery rental of Rs 2.5 per km.
This makes the Comet Blackstorm Rs 30,000 dearer than the Exclusive trim. Bookings for the same are currently underway at a token amount of Rs 11,000. As seen in the teaser earlier, the Backstrom edition of the micro electric hatchback gets cosmetic upgrades over the standard Comet.

Further, it gets bold “MORRIS GARAGES” lettering embossed above the nose. The rest of the exterior design is identical to the regular Comet EV.
Inside the cabin, the Comet Blackstorm boasts of an all-black cabin with the fabric seat upholstery wrapped in a black shade complemented by red Blackstorm branding on the headrests. Further, the red stitching on the seats provide a sporty contrast inside the cabin.
