MG Motors has recently made an announcement regarding a price hike for the year 2023, affecting several of their popular models such as the MG Astor, Hector, Hector Plus, and Gloster. This increase in prices is primarily a result of the rising input costs that the company has been facing. Alongside the price adjustments, MG Motors has also introduced updates to the variant mix, offering customers new options and features to choose from. Let's take a closer look at the revised prices and variant details for each of these models.

Starting with the MG Astor, customers will notice price hikes ranging from ₹20,000 to ₹41,800, reflecting the increased input costs.

The Gloster range continues to showcase its impressive features and performance.

The MG Gloster offers a luxurious and spacious cabin, advanced safety technologies, and a powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 2WD variants, despite the price increase, still provide excellent value for customers who prioritize comfort, style, and a refined driving experience.

In conclusion, MG Motors' decision to implement a price hike for the year 2023 is a response to the rising input costs they have been facing. The revised prices for the MG Astor, Hector, Hector Plus, and Gloster models have been carefully adjusted to strike a balance between affordability and the outstanding features and performance these vehicles offer.
