MG Could Bring In Maxus D90 SUV at Auto Expo 2020

MG Motor India has what we could call a “successful start” in India with the MG Hector then the MG ZS EV. Following the fully-electric SUV, there are two more vehicles in the pipeline, six-seater version of the Hector and the rebadged Maxus D90 SUV. These cars are expected to have their debut at the upcoming 2020 Auto Expo held in February of the coming year.

Maxus D90 is the brand's flagship SUV in the Chinese market

While the MG Hector 6 seater car will rival models like next-gen Mahindra XUV500 or Tata Gravitas, the Maxus D90 will be a contender to the likes of Mahindra Alturas G4, Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour, and Isuzu D-Max V-Cross
