Just like before, the mild-hybrid variants are exclusively available with the 6-speed manual transmission. MG have changed the prices from January 2022 onwards.

The two D-segment SUVs are still carrying on without a diesel-automatic transmission combination despite increasing competition from Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Harrier/Safari twins. Besides these two rivals from Mahindra and Tata, the other 3-row cars like the Hyundai Alcazar and Kia Carens also offer an automatic transmission with the diesel engine.

Meanwhile, Tata Motors are working on adding a 1.5L turbo petrol engine to the portfolio to mark their presence in the petrol SUV class.
