MG Motor & JSW Reinvent Urban EV Mobility with the Smart and Stylish Comet Blackstorm – A Sleek, All-Black Compact EV with a ₹7.80 Lakh Price Tag, ₹2.5/km Battery Rental, and Upgraded Four-Speaker Sound System
MG Motor India and JSW Group have expanded their electric vehicle lineup with the introduction of the Comet Blackstorm, a stylish and city-friendly EV designed for urban drivers seeking a balance of style, efficiency, and convenience. Priced at ₹7.80 lakh with an innovative ₹2.5/km battery rental model, the Comet Blackstorm is positioned as the top-end variant of the Comet EV lineup. Featuring Starry Black exteriors, black-themed interiors with red stitching, and an upgraded four-speaker sound system, the latest model offers a premium driving experience tailored for city commuters.
The launch of the Comet Blackstorm comes as MG Motor and JSW continue to strengthen their position in India’s growing electric vehicle market. The Comet EV has already recorded a 29 percent year-on-year sales increase in 2024, reflecting strong demand for compact and efficient EVs. With its new design and enhanced features, the Blackstorm edition is expected to attract both first-time EV buyers and those looking for a sophisticated yet affordable electric vehicle.
The all-black aesthetic of the Comet Blackstorm stands out with dark chrome branding, a black MG logo, and a sleek Starry Black body finish. The INTERNET INSIDE emblem is finished in black, giving the vehicle a modern and cohesive look. The interior carries forward this bold theme, featuring black leatherette seats embroidered with BLACKSTORM in red, along with black-finished dashboard, door trims, and center console, adding to the premium appeal.
Powered by a 17.4kWh battery, the Comet Blackstorm offers an ARAI-certified range of 230 kilometers per charge. The fast-charging capability allows for quicker recharges, making it a practical option for city commutes. The four-speaker audio system upgrade enhances in-car entertainment, catering to music enthusiasts who prioritize sound quality in their vehicles. MG Motor is also offering an exclusive accessory pack, including a unique badge, a customized wheel cover, optional hood branding, and skid plates, providing customization options for buyers who want to add a personal touch to their vehicle.
One of the most significant aspects of the Comet Blackstorm is its battery rental model, priced at ₹2.5 per kilometer. This initiative by MG Motor and JSW significantly lowers the upfront cost of ownership, making electric vehicles more accessible to a wider audience. By decoupling battery costs from the vehicle price, MG Motor aims to expand EV adoption while addressing long-term concerns about battery maintenance and resale value.
The MG Comet EV series has been gaining traction in India’s competitive EV market. The Blackstorm variant enhances this momentum by offering a premium yet budget-friendly alternative, ensuring buyers don’t have to compromise on design, technology, or practicality. MG Motor expects the latest edition to play a pivotal role in strengthening its presence in the subcompact EV segment.
Rakesh Sen, Head of Sales at JSW MG Motor India, emphasized the evolving preferences of Indian consumers, noting that buyers are increasingly drawn to vehicles that reflect their personality. He pointed out that bold color options and distinctive designs are becoming an integral part of car-buying decisions in India. The Comet Blackstorm, with its sporty and refined styling, aims to cater to this growing demand.
MG Motor and JSW Group remain committed to expanding India’s electric mobility ecosystem, ensuring that consumers have access to affordable, stylish, and technologically advanced EV options. With strong sales momentum, competitive pricing, and a striking new look, the Comet Blackstorm is expected to gain traction among urban drivers looking for a feature-rich and aesthetically appealing electric vehicle.
Bookings for the Comet Blackstorm are now open at all MG dealerships across India, with a booking amount of ₹11,000. Customers can also visit the MG Motor India website to explore financing options, customization packages, and delivery timelines.
