MG Hector Storm Series: What’s new?
As the name suggests, the Blackstorm Edition gets an all-black exterior finish, while the Snowstorm gets a Pearl White exterior with a contrasting Starry Night finish for the roof. Both versions also get blacked-out alloy wheels with red brake calipers, blacked-out roof rails and grille and dark chrome accents on the logos, skid plates, tailgate accents and body-side cladding. The LED headlamp bezels have also been blacked out, and the tailgate gets a new smoked effect.
Inside, the black theme continues for the dashboard and seat upholstery, and the edition name is also embossed on the front seat headrests. Customers can also avail of a Storm Series package comprising edition-specific logos, a red tailgate accent, fog lamp garnish, outside rearview mirror (ORVM) protectors with red accents and side-step boards. Otherwise, the equipment suite remains unchanged from the top-spec Savvy trim.
