After acquiring the manufacturing license, MG Motors Pakistan has started pre-bookings for its 1.5L turbo engine MG HS Essence.
Confirming the development, MG Motors General Manager Syed Asif Ahmed told JEE News that the vehicles will be delivered in January 2023.
Earlier, the company depended on importing completely manufactured units (CBUs) to sell its vehicles in Pakistan, however, now under SRO-656 the automaker can also export locally manufactured vehicles. .
Ahmed revealed that this development will help Pakistan build an export-oriented automotive industry.
It is learned that the local price of the completely knocked down (CKD) MG HS Essence is Rs 6.89 million while the previously sold CBU was around Rs 8.9 million.
GOOD NEWS FOR MG FAMILY❗️
