New MG 7-Seater Coming To India: Fully Revealed

MG has already brought in several rebadged Wuling models in India. We have seen the Windsor and the Comet. Just like those, this new 7-seater will also be a rebadged model, which is sold in the international market as the Wuling Starlight 560.

What’s Revealed?

One of the key highlights of this model will be the inclusion of plug-in hybrid tech. For starters, plug-in hybrid tech has the best of two worlds: petrol and EV, to deliver good efficiency. Now, the Starlight 560-based SUV will be the torchbearer, introducing this new tech in this segment.

In the international market, the SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine paired with a 20.5kWh battery pack, delivering a combined fuel efficiency of nearly 1000+km (claimed). While the figure looks big, in Indian conditions we can expect it to deliver a mileage of nearly 20-25 km/l. So, if you want a 7-seater SUV, and that too with good mileage, this can be one of the options to look at.
