These MG Motor cars have become costlier in India
It is the beginning of the year and automobile companies have already started hiking the prices of their cars in India. MG Motor is also among the many brands that have made their offerings costlier. The company has announced a hike of up to Rs. 1.32 lakh for all the models in its portfolio, including the Gloster, Hector, ZS EV, and Astor.
