Astor Automatic (AT) variants delivery soon
Hector as usual makes up the bulk of sales. And its small wonder, Astor continues to fare well based on healthy customer demand. As the semiconductor availability issue persists, only the MG Astor MT delivery is being undertaken. The manufacturer looks forward to starting deliveries of the Astor automatic variants soon.
Looking at sales average, MG has continued to consistently sell just under 4k cars each month. This despite an endless supply chain constraint backdrop. Upon launch last year, Astor bookings were quick and many. However, it’s been impossible to deliver at the same pace.
Updated MG Hector launch nears
The ongoing festive season is a long one, and provides manufacturers with breathing space to keep up with end of year sales. And October will offer a great many opportunities to capitalize on demand.
For now, MG Motor has had a fairly cheerful September, and should look forward to conjuring up more of that magic through October. With the last quarter of the year upon us, the manufacturer looks forward to introducing its updated MG Hector. However , that may or may not have an impact on this quarter’s sales depending on launch date. The vehicle was earlier expected to make it to dealerships by Diwali.
