Since it’s launch in Pakistan, MG has become a preference for many car enthusiasts. The Chinese-owned British company debuted in the local market a compact SUV, The MG HS. It goes without saying that the HS was a huge success as Pakistanis generally have a liking for SUVs. Recently, MG has been teasing the audience with a series of short videos with the most recent one opening with the text: “THE WORLD OF MG IS ABOUT TO OPEN ITS GATES”, shortly after which a yellow car zooms over it. Does this mean that we will be seeing MG GT in Pakistan soon?

MG GT, also known as the MG 5 is a C-segment sedan, the same category in which the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic fall under. The MG 5 offers two engine options. First, a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder petrol engine capable of producing 119 horsepower and 135 Nm of torque. The second, a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine racking up 173 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque.
The MG GT has the 5-speed transmission offered in manual or CVT automatic transmission. There is a high chance that we will only have the CVT option.
