One thing that will surely not go in favour of MG Motor India is this fourth price hike. With the festive season arriving, almost every carmaker are offering massive discounts on their portfolio and a price hike from MG sounds like a big turn off to every single customer in India.

Input costs are one of the major disadvantages from the brand’s point of view. But, watching customers getting disrupted because of the same is quite disheartening. Planning to buy Hector, Hector Plus or Gloster? Then, be ready to pay up to Rs.50,000 depending upon the model as well as the variants.
