Sales will start with the MG5 and MG7 models, according to the press service of MGM Motor Rus.

The second-generation MG7 liftback is equipped with a 2-liter turbo four, which develops 261 hp. Available configurations - Elegant and Luxury, the cost - from 3 million 971 thousand rubles. "MG cars represent the mainstream segment, in which there is already a dense competition. The main rivals of MG in Russia will be Chery, Geely, Changan, OMODA, Jetour, Moskvich, JAC and a number of other brands. The advantages of MG cars are attractive design and European pedigree.
The minus will be the lack of adaptations, as well as not so developed dealer network. In general, MG Motor is unlikely to be able to compete on equal terms with the already established market leaders," comments Alexander Kovalev, head of the press service of Expocar Group of Companies.

Corporate customers do not show interest in electric cars​

Corporate customers show an extremely low level of interest in electric cars. This was stated to the agency "AUTOSTAT" by the managing partner of Fleetico Sergey Dianin. "There is curiosity - to look, to test, to ask around, but no one really considers electric cars as an alternative. The main arguments against are insufficient charging infrastructure, concerns about mileage between charges, higher price, unclear future cost of selling such car.
"Moskvich" and Evolute, unfortunately, cause a lot of complaints in terms of quality of performance and reliability. And again - the problem with chargers applies to them as well," said Sergei Dianin. The currently produced Evolute and Moskvich models do not meet the requirements for cars in MTS, confirms Sergey Orlov, manager of the Transportation Support Center of the Administrative Unit of PJSC "Mobile TeleSystems". In turn, Maxim Davidenko, Head of Commission Product Development Department of Alfa Leasing Group of Companies, notes that Chinese electric cars (e.g. Zeekr, Li, Avatr) are actively conquering the premium segment.
