2021 MG Hector CVT
MG recently launched the all-new Hector 2021 CVT option, Champagne Black interior, Dual Tone Exterior, and a host of other features. In February, Gloster production increased gradually despite supply chain challenges.
Last week, the auto manufacturer reported the production milestone of the 50,000th Hector at its Vadodara plant, Gujarat. The company operates a sole plant in India at present. When setting foot in India, the company took over the then GM plant at Halol as the automaker stopped business in India.
Rakesh Sidana, Director – Sales, MG Motor India, said, “The higher sales of 2021 product lines are very encouraging. We also expect the EV trend to accelerate with our charging infrastructure now available across more cities. The growth momentum is expected to continue in March, and we are working at the back-end to try and reduce the waiting period for our customers.”
It’s CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric) mobility endeavour sees the manufacturer focus on across-the-board ‘experiences’. Being a new manufacturer here meant MG has had to introduce tech and features that have helped build brand value, recall and a strong customer base. Being present in only a handful of segments has allowed the manufacturer to command a strong place in these segments.
Of these, Hector sales has been a dominating presence, not just for the manufacturer but also in the segment. The SUV has given MG a strong footing in India, and will go a long way in helping brand growth in India as the company introduces newer cars.
