MG Motors to bring more affordable cars in India by 2021

With the immense success of the MG Hector and the ZS EV, Chinese owned British legacy MG Motors is all set bring in some big guns with their new line-up which includes the Gloster SUV, the G10 MPV, ZS Petrol, the E200 and 360M.

This could turn out to be a big step for the company as according to President and MD MG Motor India, Rajeev Chaba “Right now, the MG brand in India is clearly moving up, with the Hector, ZS EV, and the upcoming Gloster, and we want to consolidate it there and establish its position,”

Adding further he also went on to say “But then, afterwards, we want to come down, and we hope the strong brand will help”.

Let’s have a brief look at MG’s top line-up set to launch with the next-year.

1. MG Gloster

   

   The MG Gloster aka the beast was earlier being anticipated to enter India by the end of 2021, but then MG surprised everyone with showcasing this beast of a car at the ongoing Auto Expo 2020. The MG Gloster is set to compete against the bid daddies including the Toyota Innova, Ford Endeavour and the Mahindra Alturas G4. The Gloster will come powered to a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel unit pushing the power output to 218hp with a peak torque of 480Nm. Click here to know more about the MG Gloster.

2. MG ZS 

   

   Yes, its true MG motors will introduce a petrol variant of its first EV the MG ZS EV.  The is likely to get a mild facelift rivalling the Hyundai’s upcoming second-gen Creta. The MG ZS is likely to get a 1.0 and 1.3-litre petrol engines pushing the initial power output to 125hp and 230 Nm of torque and 111hp and 160 Nm of torque respectively.

   Surprisingly, we can also expect a more powerful 1.3 turbo engine capable of generating 163hp of power which could add the Kia Seltos on the competitor list.

3. MG 360M
   

   

   The brand has also set its eyes on introducing cars in other segments. MG Motors also showcased the MG 360M which will give a tough competition to the Maruti Ertiga and the Mahindra Marazzo. We can expect the 360M to get a Jeep sourced 2.0-litre diesel and the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol unit which also powers the MG Hector. Both the engines could be offered with either 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

   As per Rajeev Chaba “There aren’t many players in this segment, so this could give us good volumes,” this could be a clear indication towards the brand launching the MPV at a much sooner date.

4. MG E200

   

   looking for a compact 3-4 seater car, well this could be the answer. The MG EV200 has been showcased at the ongoing auto expo 2020. the MG E200 is also being considered as a smart sized car measuring at only 2.5m. As per MG, the Mini E-hatch will be sold in India for under Rs.10 lakhs. This electric menace will rival the likes of the Mahindra E20
