MG Motors SUV – Initial Bookings
The company has already received 10,000 booking orders for MG-HS 1.5 turbocharged SUV. Pakistan’s auto industry is opening doors to British as well as other international auto companies. The positive response from the local fans has added to the excitement of seeing Morris Garages in Pakistan.
Afridi told that the company has had a good experience after launching the commercial vehicles under the name of JW-Forland.
The research analyst Ahmed Lakhani said, “It is not surprising if the company books 10,000 orders for a European SUV that cost Rs5.5 million. People are buying around 1000 units of Korean brands like Sportage and Tucson. It will not be surprising that they would be buying a British SUV at a similar price.” According to him, the European cars have their own class appeal regardless of the market dominance of Japanese auto companies.
MG-HS Competitors in Pakistan
MG-HS will give competition to local compact SUVs including KIA Sportage and Hyundai Tucson. However, it is yet to see if the 1.5 turbocharged SUV competes with the leading automakers like Toyota and Honda.
MG-HS Price
The 1.5 Turbocharged SUV has an initial price tag of PKR 5.5 million. The exact prices will be revealed as soon as the formal launch event happens the next month.
For a European SUV, the price tag is quite decent. We can expect higher prices for the other two SUV variants announced by the company. European cars are known for their premium class and luxury. Apart from these, the cars perform very well in terms of engine capacity and power delivery.
Will We See More International Auto Companies in Pakistan?
The auto market scenario has observed a major shift in the recent past. It is safe to say that the launch of the Morris Garages SUV lineup in the country is a bright indication of European auto companies coming to the local market. Checkout MG HS Price in Pakistan as well!
