Interestingly, MG already sells the RX5 in the Middle East market, which is why we think chances of the RX5 coming to India as MG’s debut SUV are bright. MG Motor sells the RX5 in the Middle Eastern market with a choice of two petrol engines- 166bhp, 1.5-litre 4-cylinder and 217bhp, 2.0-litre 4-cylinder. It gets a standard 6-speed manual transmission but there’s an option to have a 6- (2.0-litre) and 7-speed (1.5-litre) dual-clutch automatic transmission as well. MG Motor India has expressed that it wants to offer its owners various personalised experiences with its first car. We believe, the company is testing many options for India and, the RX5 and Baojun 530 SUV will be the SUVs currently under consideration to start off sales.
