MG Pakistan has increased the price of MG HS Essence, the locally assembled crossover SUV. The new price of the car is Rs. 8,699,000 compared to previous rate of Rs. 8,199,000. It means the company has hiked the rate by Rs. 500,000. As per the company, the Eid offer has ended and now the booking would be on new price. The primary possible reasons are devaluation of PKR against the USD, non-availability of LCS by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), difficulties in import and lack of raw materials.
