MG Products are very good, only concern is the fuel economy, this needs to be addressed
MG vehicles are a good choice. Just hope they increase the efficiency of their petrol models.
Then buy MG Hector strong hybrid. You will ride it like a normal petrol car and when you apply breaks frequently and the battery will charge automatically. No need to charge the battery and the battery will give you extra mileage.
It would be great to have 1 or 2 podcast on VW/Skoda future strategy.
I'm just loving these podcasts,
Can you guys discuss the boom in the sales of luxury and ultra luxury cars in India? thank you.
The new strategies with JSW will really change the game in indian auto industry 😍
Can we have an episode on Honda India?
great insight by Hormazd on the misuse of PlugIn hybrids, and Hybrid is the new diesel!
MG is really doing great job in the EV segment with their best offering EVs. and they made the future plans which are looking really good.
My family members have both MG ev6 and comet. Now I am waiting for MG Cloud ❤❤
MG4 not coming is a big miss...its one of the most sought after cars in EV.
Wow, what a great podcast! Very elaborating and interesting. MG India's revamp sounds exciting! Their future looks brighter, and their plans are extremely great.👍
I will go for EHS plug in series hybrid are the best of both worlds EV mode for short runs and errands and fuel efficient IC for long journeys, yeah baby.
While i'm not keen on this brand, i wish others provided diverse options such as phevs
Thank you for a wonderful podcast. This episode is Super Good, no interrupting each other, thanks for taking our feedback , Well delivered ... Thanks ....thanks a lot 🙏
This was such a wonderful podcast! Looking forward to more of these :)
i love this series so much!
Make more videos about the future of Automobile companies in India
Only Hector, Cyberster and Civic based sedan look good. None of the other products in the lineup are appealing. Also, plugin hybrids will certainly fail.
MG is focousing more on Evs, its good to see MGs plan.
MG is one of good product brand from China. It have very appealing products, expectign more EVs
What we need :
1) plug in hybird
2) series hybrid
3) power split hybird /þ/ series parallel hybrid
My daily driving is 200km can I buy a ev punch or any other option like cng or Diesel
The most interesting car here is comet with a practical form factor for Indian cities. Let’s hope MG comes with a DC fast charging for Comet.
For me sibling hector in indonesia wuling almaz same with SAIC patent MG .
I just hope MG doesn't compromise on Safety with the indianisation of their platforms
Hormazd will agree! The PHEVs from MG will make them the new Maruti!
Just common sense!
Is Sajjan Jindal planning an e two wheeler as well ?
Hormazdji, surveys say that in Europe there were incentives to adopt PHEVs which made company fleets buy PHEVs where the end user just chose the cheapest to lease product. And getting a charger installed at home in Europe and US is expensive. In comparison in South east asian countries PHEV emissions are much closer to the certified stats because they use the plugin facility more religiously. I think companies should provide the choice to users in India and Govt should not incentivise PHEVs at the same rate as EVs. End user has operational cost incentives to own PHEVs. More cars will plugs will increase charger availability too.
Oh never knew the FE for the Turbo petrol was so bad. Actually I drove a Hector Plus recently. Lot of technology with sad UX (for the screen and too many beeps and bobs)
I was struggling to find the screen which shows Avg FE until I gave up.
Adas was so peaceful on the E-way. Throughly enjoyed the car. But not for my taste as I can't enjoy SUVs as much as I do cars
Well I disagree with Hormazd about the Plug-in hybrids. I personally believe, a range of 50-60km makes a lot of sense for a daily driver to office and I can charge at night exactly the way I charge my phone. And on the weekends or holidays, I can just use the ICE without any range anxiety.
For the strong hybrids, I always need to put fuel in order to drive. With plug-ins, I have the flexibility to choose. I'm personally expecting Jeep to launch their new compass 4xe hybrid.
I love Astor's design. I think it is only due to its lack luster performance and low average that most of the people don't purchase it.
What is going on with Hyundai
facelift mg zs ev must now to take on creta ev etc.
01:45 I guess you meant, 'They cleverly disguised it as British!'
No compact SUV like a sub 4m comparing to the venue ?
Comment top model is highly priced otherwise it is a nice car if comes down to Rs. 6 to 6.30 lacs
If MG has to cater more clients then they should opt for Strong Hybrid instead of Plug in Hybrid in their complete line-up that will help them to get more customer.As diesel has no future so they should look at this option.
mg is good company
I statiesfied with mg 5gt, good looking car for my wife
MG4 is GREAT!
Hope they don't dump China specific models here. They should bring their global cars like Mg4, mg5, Cyberster.
WHAT I THINK is that MG will bring NEW ASTOR HYBRID as it's Just launched in Indonesia names MG VS and it will be great deal.
Current mg has ONLY ASTOR / ZS as their true DNA car because all other hector, gloster, comet are from other brand. WITH HS the true mg will come as it's also a MG developed car
Since 2 months ASTOR is going good nearly getting same sales as SKODA , that's all because of new PRICE you should have mentioned that
MG cyberster is best
Byd can do the same with a Indian partner
Honda suicided in India! The 2009 2010 Jazz even today looks truly contemporary and does not even rattle a tiny bit! Does 13+ on city and 18+ on highways! Wa Honda ivtecs! Still to be beaten! But Honda you suicide bomber of your own fans, how can you not bring the PHEVs now to do that renaissance!
When new generation fortuner is coming
lol 😂
If it is hybrid, then it has to be self charged hybrid like Toyota. Plug in hybrid doesn’t have future in india.
Multipolar world has not even begun & already "adversarial" BYD & Toyota have already started working together. My vote is for hydrogen.
Why this push for a Chinese brand?
Understandable in mobiles where we dont have an alternative but automobiles? We have good Indian brands and enough foriegn brands.
This JSW is just a ploy, the chinese will be back buying out Jindal.
Lets be aware to what the Chinese car brands are doing in the European market, home to some of the greatest brands.
Why invite disaster to India? Its not like Chinese have great automotive tech.
Recently in China, their sister brand Baojun has launched Yep plus..
which is essentially their Cloud EV, with SUV body.
That would be a very practical car in India
I think lot of the consumers would love and manage a plug in hybrid. Mileage sells good in India. Suzuki is a great example.
The fear of being stranded with an ev on a long drive is just too much. I would not buy one unless I can afford something like a Byd seal.
