Crossovers are loved by Chinese people, and they sell more in numbers than regular hatchbacks, hence SAIC launched the Crossover version of the MG3 called MG3 Xross with fancy exterior, roof rails and bumper extensions etc, & available with 1.5 liter engine. Price for the basic Xross is 91700 yuan (12.4 lac PKR) while Deluxe edition Xross cost 103700 yuan (14.1 lac PKR)..

it is evident from the chart above that MG3 is picking up sales and has been able to take on Honda Fit & Toyota Yaris in terms of sales, Suzuki Swift & Ford Fiesta however, are still considerably ahead. Considering the September 2011 sales, its almost neck to neck with Swift, the Swift's collective figure for the year is well ahead of MG3. Keep in mind Swift is already there in Chinese market for several years, MG3 is hardly 7 months old.
