The new MG SUV will be the first model to be launched by the British marque as it enters the Indian market later this year, and it will be manufactured at the company Halol plant in Gujarat.

This means the new model will be high on safety as well, with a host of standard features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, seatbelt reminder, rear parking sensors and more. The company has been using the hashtag #FutureIsCalling, which indicates that the carmaker might be offering a bunch of modern and futuristic features as well like, maybe a 360-degree camera or a more digitally-inclined dashboard with smart infotainment system among others. Engine and other technical details are still unknown, but we hope to know more about it soon.
