It will be a sub-4m crossover with a smaller battery. The carmaker is also looking to localise most of the components to price it aggressively.
Rajeev Chaba, MG Motor India President and Managing director mentioned “Our next product after SUV Astor, we have been thinking about an EV and now we have been very encouraged with the absolute clarity from the government side that EV is the way to go.
