MG’s Ertiga Rival Coming Soon!
The 7-seater market in India is dominated by one name and that is the Maruti Ertiga. A lot of competitors have come, but have instead become minor players in this segment. Now MG is also looking to try out its luck with a new MPV. MG is taking a different approach by bringing an electric MPV. Currently, EVs are niche, but in the future, we could see them dethrone ICE options. So if MG plays it right, its EV MPV could be a good rival to the Ertiga. In today’s article, let’s talk about this MG Ertiga rival.
