MG Gloster has recently received two new special editions – Desertstorm and Snowstorm – featuring new styling elements with an all-black interior. Both of these special edition units of the Gloster are now on display at dealerships. Here’s how the Desertstorm edition of the SUV looks in 7 real-life images.

The MG Gloster Desertstorm edition comes in a single-tone Deep Golden hue. Like the other two storm editions of the SUV (namely Snowstorm and Blackstorm), the Gloster Desertstorm features a blacked-out grille with a revised mesh pattern, along with chrome treatment on the front lip and around the fog lamp housing. It also features red inserts in the headlights.

From the side, the Gloster Desertstorm showcases blacked-out door handles, while the ORVMs are also blacked out with a chrome finish. Unlike on the standard MG Gloster, the window line on this special edition of the SUV has also been blacked out. Enhancing its sporty appeal, the Gloster Desertstorm is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels finished in black, complemented by red brake calipers.

The Gloster Desertstorm edition looks identical to its regular variants from the rear, however the badges have been blacked out. 

The Desertstorm edition of the Gloster comes with an all black interior featuring brushed silver inserts on the centre console, around the AC vents, and steering wheel, as seen on the Snowstorm edition. 

This special edition of the SUV gets black leatherette seat upholstery with contrast white stitching. MG is offering the Desertstorm edition of the SUV in both 6- and 7–seater configurations.
