MG 3 in Final Stages, Will be Under Rs. 2 Million – Javed Afridi

0 30,518

Another day, another claim by Javed Afridi – the poster boy for MG Pakistan. In a fresh Facebook post, Afridi has once again shared the video of MG 3, hinting the launch is near as he wrote: “Yes, below 2 million MG 3. In Final Stages.” Here is the post:

Now, if you remember, it is the fourth time Javed Afridi has discussed the price of this hatchback. Back in February 2021, he hinted at the launch of this car under Rs. 2 million, causing quite a stir. However, it was total silence for quite a long time, then he once again shared an update, and earlier this month, he once again asked people to guess MG 3’s price.

One thing to remember is that MG Pakistan has never officially shared any update or possible launch timeline. We even told you that MG didn’t mention this car in its upcoming lineup. But it seems that Javed Afridi is bringing the car to the local auto market.

Will it be possible?

MG Pakistan has not sold a single locally assembled unit of its cars so far, including MG HS and MG ZS. Although Afridi has shared videos of MG cars being on an assembly line, none of them have reached dealerships. So, the history is not in favor of the company. Furthermore, the industry experts believe MG still doesn’t hold a license to sell CKD cars as it has not fulfilled the government’s requirements for Greenfield status.

We do hope that MG 3 will be launched in Pakistan soon – as Afridi said, but it still seems a far-fetched dream. Also, the company should share clear information about assembly, production and deliveries with the consumers to build trust. It would be great for both MG Pakistan and the buyers.

Meanwhile, here are salient expected specs and features of MG 3.

MG 3 Hatchback

MG 3 is a 1500cc subcompact hatchback. The car is available in the international market in its 2nd generation. Its 1.5-liter engine comes with a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car has a sharp look and a set of premium features, such as:

  • Cruise Control
  • 8″ touchscreen infotainment screen
  • Rear Parking Sensors
  • Six Airbags
  • Emergency Braking Assistance
  • Hill Hold Control
  • Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TYPS)

    This car is copycating Suzuki body shape, dosn’t mean it worth the swift, the main difference the engine is bigger than the swift a 1.5L engine against a 1.2L engine and only with a 4 speed gearbox when Suzuki swift got a 5 speed gearbox.
    We can guess Suzuki swift will get better fuel efficiency.
    Despite the price gap. And overall the swift is known to be swift.
    The price here is to help this car to make some sales, but without CKD and with CBU ban this car won’t come soon, you are only feeding the hype.

    PKR 2million? I doubt that the quality is going to be good, also while elite class is all in favour of brand and everything but hatchback category is a bit different and people set store by ease of maintenance, strong resale value, and after sales support.

    It is impossible to launch this car for Rs. 2M. Its price will be above Rs.3M.
