MG's New Premium Showroom Strategy

MG Motor has opened a new type of showroom called MG Select in Thane, Maharashtra. This new showroom is for premium (luxury) customers and will sell affordable luxury vehicles.

Earlier, people thought MG Select would only focus on electric cars (BEVs). But now MG says they will also offer other types of power options like:

  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Plug-in hybrids
  • Fully electric vehicles

Why this change?

Around the world, the sale of electric vehicles (EVs) is slowing down. Because of this, many car companies are now taking more time to fully switch to EVs. So, MG also decided to keep more options open with different powertrains (engine + electric motor types).

First Cars to be Sold

Two models will be sold first in MG Select showrooms:

  1. MG Cyberster Roadster

    • A sporty, fun car
    • Will come to India as a CBU (imported unit)
    • Meant to build brand image
  2. MG M9 MPV

    • A big family car with luxury features
    • Will compete with Toyota Vellfire and Kia Carnival

MG believes these models will help them explore new market segments in India.

These models will help MG offer more choices to Indian customers looking for modern and fuel-efficient vehicles.
