MG Bangladesh recently introduced two new subcompact sedans, the MG GT and MG GT Turbo. With the recent price hike for popular Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars, MG’s decision to launch a budget-friendly sedan couldn’t have been better timed. The MG GT is positioned as a sporty and cost-effective option for everyday driving, combining an eye-catching design with features typically found in more expensive cars. This makes it an attractive choice for Bangladeshi buyers looking for a stylish and well-rounded vehicle.
17-Inch Wheels and LED Lights Enhance Style
The MG GT boasts a striking design that sets it apart from other sedans in its class. Its bold, curvy silhouette, paired with the blacked-out front grille, gives it a commanding presence on the road. The car’s 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and Maxxis Premitras tires enhance its sporty look. LED headlights and taillights complement the sleek body, giving the car a modern and aggressive appeal.
At the rear, the MG GT features distinctive LED taillights and a diffuser-style kit, which adds a sporty touch. Though the rear design is slightly bulkier compared to the sleek front, the overall styling is bound to attract buyers looking for a unique sedan.
Interior Technology With 10-Inch Infotainment and Vegan Leather Seating
Stepping inside the MG GT reveals a well-thought-out cabin with vegan leather power seats. The front seats have a semi-bucket design, ensuring the driver and front passenger are comfortable during long trips. The interior layout is minimalistic, with a hexagonal pattern cleverly hiding the air conditioning vents. This design approach creates a cleaner and more streamlined dashboard.
The car’s 10-inch infotainment system is user-friendly and compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to stay connected. Additionally, the infotainment system controls various vehicle settings, including driving modes, stability control, and a 360-degree panoramic camera. However, some users might find accessing the air conditioning controls via the screen inconvenient.
The rear seats provide enough space for three passengers and offer decent headroom and legroom. Though the absence of a rear armrest may be a drawback, MG has compensated by including rear AC vents and a convenient USB charging port.
Up to 112 HP and 8-speed Manual Mode With Excellent Stability
The MG GT has two engine variants: a 1500cc non-turbo and a 1500cc turbo. The base 1.5L engine, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), generates 112 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque. While it may not be a powerhouse, the engine can handle city traffic without feeling sluggish.
The car also includes an 8-speed manual mode, allowing more control during overtaking maneuvers. Although we couldn’t test its full potential due to heavy traffic, the MG GT’s performance should meet the expectations of most city drivers.
The MG GT shines in its handling. The car’s stiff suspension ensures minimal body roll, providing excellent cornering and stability at higher speeds. However, this comes at the cost of ride comfort, as the firm suspension can make bumpy roads feel a bit rough.
Tk36 Lakh for Modern Features and Value
Priced at Tk36 lakh, the MG GT is a strong contender in the Bangladeshi sedan market. While it faces competition from grey market imports, its combination of modern features, sporty design, and reasonable pricing makes it a compelling option for buyers who want a car that stands out without breaking the bank.
Final Thoughts!
The MG GT offers a solid mix of performance, style, and affordability, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a budget-friendly sedan. Although it lacks some premium interior materials and may not provide the smoothest ride, its overall design, features, and handling make it a great value proposition for Bangladeshi driver
