The spy images suggest that the company may soon launch the MG ZS Petrol in the Indian market. However, we feel that MG may first launch the Gloster in India and then the G10 MPV. Full-size SUV and MPV are popular segments too. After launch, the MG ZS Petrol will rival the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Nissan Kicks.
