New MG Gloster Storm Edition will take on rivals such as Skoda Kodiaq, Toyota Fortuner and Jeep Meridian
To increase options for potential buyers, MG Motor has introduced a new Storm Edition of Gloster SUV. Primary focus is on achieving a fresh new look and enhancing the SUV’s sporty profile. Core hardware specs remain the same as earlier.
MG Gloster Storm Edition – Key features
Two options are on offer, one is called Desert Storm the other is called Snow Storm. Both are priced from Rs 41.04 lakh, ex-sh. 2024 MG Gloster Storm edition has blacked-out elements, as evident with the alloy wheels, window surrounds and B and C pillars. ORVMs have a black and red combo, something that instantly gets one’s attention.
As compared to the standard variants that utilize chrome highlights, this new theme presents the SUV in a more dynamic format. Road presence is significantly enhanced and red-black elements add more appeal and a sense of boldness. A striking and aggressive profile helps create a sense of power and dominance that commands attention.
A similar dual-tone theme has been used on the inside. MG Gloster Storm edition has leather upholstery and premium leather layering and soft touch material across the dashboard and door panels. There’s ambient lighting, illuminated front and rear metallic scuff plates, honeycomb pattern garnishes and knitted fabric roof trim. The new dual-tone interiors set the perfect mood for some exciting urban adventures.
