After the raging success of the MG HS SUV in Pakistan, the automaker seems to be considering entering other popular segments of the Pakistani automotive segment as well.
Meanwhile, Javed Afridi’s latest social media post asks the public for suggestions for the price of the MG 3 in Pakistan.
The MG 3 is a subcompact hatchback that competes against the Suzuki Swift and Toyota Vitz/Yaris, and is currently being sold in the international market in its second-generation form. It was given a drastic facelift in 2018, which indicates that the latest version has a relatively fresher and sharper look.

Since its facelift, the MG 3 is being offered in the international market with two engine options, one of which is a 1.5- liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 105 hp and 137 Nm of torque. The other is also a 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine, but it makes 109 hp and 150 Nm of torque. The former comes with a 5-speed manual and the latter comes with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

In terms of technical features, the MG 3 is available with the standard eight-inch touch-sensitive infotainment screen with Apple Carplay, Sat-Nav, rear parking sensors, a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines, multi-media controls on the steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, AC with dust and pollen filter, a four-speaker premium sound system, and USB/AUX connectivity.
Its other features are six airbags, emergency braking assistance, an electronic stability program, an active cornering brake control system, hill hold control, ABS with electronic brakes, automatic door unlocking in case of accidents, front disk brakes, tyre pressure monitoring, speed-sensitive door locking, a seatbelt warning alarm, and a vehicle immobilizer.
In China, the MG 3 hatchback starts from 69,700 Yuan (Rs. 1.74 million) and goes up to 76,600 Yuan (Rs. 1.91 million), which is reasonable as it is a compact hatchback that competes with the Suzuki Swift which is a more expensive car despite being a CKD unit.
The Automotive Industry Development and Export Plan (AIDEP) 2021-26 is set to be announced soon and it is believed that the new policy will favor electric vehicles (EVs) more. With this development on the horizon, it is intriguing to know what MG has in store for the Pakistani auto market.
I think it should be around 24 lac
In my opinion price of MG 3 must be below 20 lac to attract customer in Pakistan
it should below 2 million,
and one can be gifted to me as well
If you are successfully break big three monopoly then pakistani salute to you I think below 2 million is better
Of course 2M is perfect because it is 1500 cc better than Honda city….
Honda city is 1300 cc and price is 2.4M….
Not more than 15lac. Trust me if this is the tag then this will be the New Mehran for Pakistan.
Yes first capture mkt then increase rate 1years ideal price is 1700000
As you are going to compete the suzuki and toyota market there fore initially, it’s price shall be atleast 20-25% less then viltz and swift. Afterwards it can be adjusted accordingly.
Second option is that you
know how much it costs you to bring the car in market so you get 10_15% more from the customer.
However it,s price around 1.9 Mn will be ok.
i think should be 1.6 to 1.9 million for MG 3 with different variant.
i hope Javed Afridi will be clean from the market “3(HTS) car mafia”
Not more then 15 lack
It should be between 1.4 to 1.8 mRs but the point matters Mr Afridi are you for real to break down the old and conventional theory of every business man, politician and law enforcement personals of this poor country to embark the ‘josh aur jazba’ of this miserable nation to earn profit or you really wanna do something for the people of Pakistan
It’s best in between 15. To 1.6, although it would be tuff but surely it’s possible

Mr.Javid, if u think about Pakistan than South u.
U should set the reasonable price which can be affordable.
Break the all monopoly.
A.O.A, it should be around1.7 Million
JAZAKALLAH
15 to17 Lacs price would boost its sale.
15 sey 17 and see the magic ,
In Pakistan efforts are needed for the arrangement of Nano Tata types cars which cost around Pak Rs 2 Lac and low cost Scooty either for general public which will definitely help reduction of oil import..
Discussion of millions of Rupees is simply making fun of general public…I feel
2million
If u really want that your MG to be successful u must have start the price from 20lac it will be very soon successful in few months bcz already brands are too lack in market due to high price like kia sportage vezel vitara etc
Should be below 2 million
Price should be less then 2M
Should not be more than 14 lacs , its chinese brand
MG vehicles are very costly as same as the previous automobile makers, Changan is Perfect wrt all aspects!!!
I think javed thinks to middle man. B/c there is no new vehicle price range for these people. Bold decision is 15 lac. It should surely becomes just like mehran. It short period it seems in every home and every road.
Basharat Ali
It will be between 2.2 to 2.6 don’t forget it’s 1.5
It should be 1.6 to 2.0 million.
I think 2.2 is justified for automatic version to compete with yaris ,ciaz etc
As Per Economy Of Pakistan Price Would be 1.9million to 2.3million If Dollar decrease that would be incentive to Pakistani Consumers
Manual so 1.6 million max
As per pakistani car mafia. They always got big Amount from pakistani people. And they provide very bed quality of vehicle. and now time is coming. Some good peoples come in market. To break these mafia groups..and low price vehicles in market i think MG is good brand for pakistani people and should javed Afridi give good image in market. To trust people. My suggest this car price Not more then 1.5 million..
2M is perfect because it is 1500 cc, and better than Honda city….
Honda city is 1300 cc and price is 2.4M….
I think the price will be 2.0M to 2.5M….
It’s prices must be 1.5 to 1.8 million
Then it will make place in the Pakistani markit
Don’t go for more than 17, this price will give MG a monopoly to get hold on market. The ideal price would be 1.7 million.
