With the nationwide lockdown which has been now extended to the 3rd May 2020 due to the on-going coronavirus, the outbreak has left many major automobile manufacturers extending the launch dates for many of their new models which were previously set to launch after the closure of the first segment of the lockdown. However, in rather bold or a desperate move MG Motors India has confirmed that its upcoming 3-row MG Hector Plus will be launched in June 2020.
While interacting to a leading media house President & MD, MG Motor India, Rajeev Chaba said “We could have surprised everyone by launching it in April, but now April is ruled out. So we are on track to launch it in June. It has been delayed, but we said June earlier, so we are keeping some margin with us, so in June we should be launching it.”
