JSW MG Motor has added a stylish twist to its most affordable EV by launching the new Blackstorm edition of the Comet EV. Priced at ₹9.81 lakh, this variant brings a stealthy, sporty appeal to the small city-friendly EV. The Blackstorm edition comes with cosmetic changes both inside and out, while the mechanicals remain untouched. And yes, it’s already making its way to MG showrooms across the country.
Exterior
What sets the Blackstorm apart is its dramatic exterior treatment. The Starry Black paint job dominates the body, giving it a bold and mysterious presence. Complementing this are striking red accents on the front and rear bumpers, side cladding, and the wheels. It’s a simple yet effective way to make the car pop on the road.
The front grille carries the classic ‘Morris Garage’ lettering, but now it’s finished in red to keep up with the theme. Adding to its exclusivity, there’s Blackstorm badging on the front fenders, clearly marking it as a limited edition. This is definitely a car for someone who wants to stand out without being too flashy.
Interior
Step inside, and the theme continues. The cabin is wrapped in a black leatherette finish, but it doesn’t stop there. The red stitching across the seats adds just the right amount of contrast. The headrests also carry the ‘Blackstorm’ branding in red embroidery, tying everything together.
While the layout and features remain the same as the standard Comet EV, the mood inside feels sportier. It’s a great way to offer more character to a compact electric car without altering its core.
Performance
Underneath all the cosmetic changes, the Comet EV Blackstorm retains its original mechanical setup. It comes powered by a 17.3kWh battery pack paired with a rear-axle-mounted electric motor. This setup produces 41bhp and 110Nm of torque—perfect for urban driving conditions.
The highlight here is its range. MG claims that the Comet EV Blackstorm can run up to 230km on a single charge. That’s more than enough for most city commuters. And since it’s a small, lightweight EV, it’s agile enough to zip through traffic while being eco-friendly.
Practicality
Despite its compact footprint, the Comet EV still packs practicality into its design. The small turning radius, easy handling, and now the stylish Blackstorm design make it even more attractive for urban buyers who want something different. The added visual upgrades don’t affect the performance or range, so you’re getting more style for the same substance.
Availability
Since its launch, the Comet EV Blackstorm has started arriving at dealerships across India. So if you’ve been waiting to check it out in person, now’s the time. The ₹9.81 lakh price tag puts it slightly above the regular variant, but for those cosmetic upgrades and limited-edition appeal, it may just be worth it.
