MG Motor has a few different Indian business versions. The launch of Hector Plus 6/7-seater, SUV, Gloster SUV and G10 Luxury MPV have already been confirmed by the British car manufacturer. While the Hector Plus is the first showroom to hit, the Hector is approaching the Diwali season this year. The MG G10, the re-bladed Maxus G10, will be launched early next year. Here are five important facts you should know about the new MG luxury MPV.

The G10 with seating configurations –7/8 and9-seats–is offered similar to Kia Carnival. The carmaker unveiled the 9-seater MPV edition at the Auto Expo 2020. While the 7-seater model has the power adjustment with powerful leg rests for the middle-row captain’s chairs, the 9-seater variant comes complete with four rows of seats.

The carmaker has yet to announce the engine specifications of the India-spec MG G10 MPV. Nevertheless, the powertrains would presumably be shared with MG Hector. It is rumored that the new 2.0L twin-turbo diesel engine could come in the new MG luxury MPV. The vehicle is offered worldwide, with various market-specific engine options.
5. EXPECTED PRICE
The India-bound model (G10 MG) focuses on private purchasers, as opposed to the global markets in which the Maxus G10 mainly serves the fleet sector. The price range is estimated at Rs 20 lakh–Rs 27 lakh (ex showroom). Here it will be placed against Kia Carnival.
