MG Motor India Shuts Down Temporarily Due To Covid-19 Pandemic: Here Are All Details
MG Motor India has announced that its manufacturing facility will be temporarily shut due to the rise in Covid-19 cases in the country. The brand's manufacturing facility in Halol Gujurat will remain shut between April 29 to May 5, 2021.

The company later introduced its flagship SUV, the Gloster. MG gave the Gloster all the bells and whistles, which made the SUV India's first car to feature Level 1 autonomous technology. MG calls it the (ADAS) Advanced Driver Assistance System.
Catering to a growing demand for three-row SUVs in the Indian market, the company added an extra row of seating to the Hector SUV and launched it as the Hector Plus. The Hector, Hector Plus and the ZS EV models have all been recently updated to the 2021 Model Year with few much-needed upgrades.
