    Volvo EX30 launched

    First set of MG cars targeted value segment especially people who want more for less. Of course it means they have to use not the most advanced tech in all areas. While they have good drive train, battery and rapid charging the cost savings is evident in LKA, reverse camera, steering rack, ABS...

    Do car journalists hate MG?

People are more likely to search for and click on popular brands. Some of them have a large cost involved in producing content and would be...
