How the Blackstorm and Snowstorm Differ

The difference is only in paint. The Blackstorm gets an all-black exterior, while the Snowstorm pairs a Pearl White body with a Starry Black roof. Everything else, including the interior, features and powertrain, remains identical.

The Snowstorm is the more interesting of the two. Its black roof and alloys are set against the white body, while red accents on the ORVMs and fog lamp surrounds add some colour. The Blackstorm, meanwhile, takes the blackout theme all the way.

Both editions get a new all-black Storm Hex grille along with front and rear bumper garnishes. The Aura Storm Blade alloys are paired with red brake calipers, while the brand logos, skid plates, tailgate accents and body-side cladding get a dark chrome finish.

Piano black roof rails, LED headlamps with piano black bezels and smoked connected tail lamps complete the look. It is a thorough blackout, though the red calipers stop it from looking dull.

Interior and Storm Package

Inside, both get the Nimbus Black interior with all-black leather upholstery and dark accents. The front headrests carry BLACKSTORM or SNOWSTORM embossing, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel has a gunmetal finish.

The Storm package adds edition badges, a red tailgate accent, fog lamp eye shadows with red accents, ORVM protectors with red accents and side step boards. It is fitted at the dealership at no extra cost.

Powering it is the 1.5-litre turbo petrol makes 143 PS and 250 Nm, and it is paired only with a CVT. There is no diesel or manual option here, so these editions suit buyers who want a petrol automatic.
