Features expected onboard will include 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster, three-zone climate control, cooled/heated seats, a panoramic sunroof and a 360-degree camera on the range-topping trims.
Safety features will include six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP and Isofix child-seat mounts. In the global markets, where it is known as Maxus D90, it gets autonomous braking, lane assist function and auto parking system as well. We are not sure if MG will bring these features on the India-spec.
As told earlier, it will create its own space in the segment, severely undercutting the prices of its rivals. To make its first impressions strong, MG will definitely price it aggressively despite offering many upmarket features.

Interestingly, it will be positioned in a segment above the Fortuner and Endeavour demanding around Rs 40 Lakhs (ex-showroom). With its dimensions and luxurious spacing, it will actually be a competitor for the Land Cruiser Prado and Jeep Grand Cherokee but costing less than half of their prices.
