The MG 360M is the British manufacturer’s MPV slated to take on the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga in the country. The new MPV from Morris Garages (MG) Motor India was showcased at this year Auto Show in Delhi and received a fair few favourable notices from visitors. Here are a few points to keep in mind for the upcoming vehicle.
As we mentioned, the MG 360M will stand up directly to the much-liked Ertiga. However, the 360M sports a longer wheelbase and overall length. This translates into a more spacious cabin, something we cannot complain about. Having said that, the MG 360M will only be produced as a six-seater variant sporting two seats in three rows; unlike the seven-seater Ertiga.
Boot volume in the MG 360M, though, is something to admire. With the second and third rows folded, the MPV will boast of a 1,350-litre volume – ample space for ample luggage or your annoying neighbour’s two-wheeler.
This is an MG Motor vehicle, hence, one may be sure of the MPV being stuffed with all the features the technological price point may have. Features such as electronic stability control, electric power steering, an 8.0-inch central control screen, LCD dashboard, reverse camera images, an electric sunroof, and more. Considering what MG Motor have stuffed into the Hector, we can be sure this launch would be on a similar path.
Engine variants for the MG 360M MPV would be, in all probability, a 1.5-litre petrol unit that would make 103 hp and 135 Nm of torque. Transmission duties would be carried out by a CVT automatic. Pricing is where we may plead the fifth considering what the future economic situation may hold, but we can expect the MPV to be slightly above the Ertiga which starts at Rs 7.59 lakh (ex-showroom). We shall keep you posted on more news about the MG 360M as more information flows in.
