MG Motor India to revise prices in January 2024
What's the story
MG Motor has revealed plans to increase the pricing of its entire lineup of vehicles in India, starting January 2024.
Although the automaker hasn't shared specific details about the price changes, it attributes the decision to rising operational expenses, overall inflation, and increased commodity costs.
Note, that the company currently offers six models, including the Comet EV, Astor, Hector, Hector Plus, ZS EV, and Gloster.
Benefits
The current lineup is available with year-end discounts
