MG Hector Snowstorm and Blackstorm Edition Launched in India with Rs 19.99 Lakh: Check What's New

The Storm Series distinguishes itself through a series of exterior design updates. Both editions feature a redesigned Storm Hex grille, front and rear bumper garnishes, and Aura Storm Blade alloy wheels equipped with red brake calipers. The exterior styling is further enhanced by dark chrome accents applied to the brand logos, skid plates, tailgate trim, and body-side cladding. While the Blackstorm edition leans into a monochromatic dark theme, the Snowstorm edition utilizes a high-contrast approach, pairing a white body finish with piano-black roof rails, LED headlamp bezels, and smoked connected tail lamps.

MG Hector Storm Series: Cabin & Features

Inside the cabin, the Storm Series adopts what the manufacturer describes as Nimbus Black interiors. This theme includes black leather upholstery complemented by dark cabin accents and a leather-wrapped steering wheel finished in gunmetal. To further differentiate the models, the front headrests feature specific embossing for either the Blackstorm or Snowstorm editions. The vehicle retains a comprehensive suite of convenience features, including a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, an eight-colour ambient lighting system, an air purifier with a PM2.5 filter, and an automatic powered tailgate.

At the heart of the dashboard is a 14-inch portrait HD touchscreen, which now benefits from Smart Boost technology for improved responsiveness. The system supports i-SWIPE gesture controls, allowing users to manage navigation, music, and climate settings through multi-finger gestures. Connectivity is managed via the i-SMART system, which provides access to over 70 connected-car features, including remote operation of vehicle functions and predictive maintenance alerts. Additionally, the vehicle includes a seven-inch digital instrument cluster and a Digital Bluetooth Key with key-sharing capabilities.
