On Saturday, MG Motors Pakistan officially launched the locally assembled MG HS named HS Essence. The booking of the crossover SUV has also been started from today, December 12, 2022. As per the company, the consumers can book the car on both full and partial payments. You can read about the booking and delivery status of the vehicle here.
Meanwhile, the locally assembled HS has a lower price compared to the imported one. MG has launched this new car at Rs. 6,899,000, while the price tag of CBU HS is Rs. 9.8 million. However, the biggest question by the consumers was the differences between the locally assembled and imported ones.
Differences Between Locally Assembled and CBU MG HS
There are basically three changes between the two cars, and the company calls them “upgrades.” As per MG Pakistan, these changes have been introduced after getting feedback from its 10,000 HS customers.
- Automatic Emergency Braking has been disabled because the consumers told the company that the car halts suddenly in traffic which can cause an accident; hence, it should not be automatic.
- MG has also disabled Intelligent Speed Assist System because it was not working properly in Pakistani traffic and was more of a hindrance than a feature. Meanwhile, all other options of the MG pilot are intact.
- Last but not least, Pakistan maps have been enabled in the new HS Essence because the HS owners told the company that the car doesn’t have local maps as it was a CBU, and it causes navigation issues for the customers.
