And for the new MG Sedan which is apparently based on the Baojun RC-6, comes as a blend of a Coupé, sedan and a crossover.
The vehicle with a three-box layout features a perfectly streamlined roof resembling a Coupé and approximately 180 mm ground clearance which is enhanced by the darkened running boards between the front and rear wheels and the rear valance. A large wraparound grille accompanied by a large nose and flat clamshell bonnet along with fighter-jet-like faux intakes surrounding the fog lights and attractive rear fascia add charm to the design. A neatly designed spacious cabin packed with plenty of tech and comfort features is also awaited.

The new MG sedan will be equipped with the Hector’s 1.5L turbo petrol engine that churns off 143bhp and 245Nm torque. A diesel powertrain might also be offered for the Indian market. Two gearbox options – a 6-speed manual and a virtual 8-speed CVT as available in the global version, might also be incorporated.

The MG sedan car price in India is expected to be on par with the Honda Civic and is hoped to hit the roads by mid-2021!
