MG Philippines has enjoyed a steady stream of healthy sales figures in the Philippines. In fact, when the brand was launched locally by the TCCCI group, they were credited with starting the “China Car Craze” that other brands enjoy now.
However, the brand has decided that it needs a new model to ignite sales further, and it seems they’re going the way of the sedan. Specifically, the 2023 MG GT Sport Sedan.
MG GT Sport Sedan
Sleek, sporty, stylish, and state-of-the-art, the MG GT embodies its product tagline “Live to Defy” by offering Filipino motorists a vehicle that will challenge their notions of what a sedan can and should be. The MG GT defies the conventional idea of sedans within a similar spec and price range, flaunting bigger power figures, larger exterior and interior dimensions, a comfortable cabin, advanced safety elements, and modern driver convenience features. Overall, the MG GT offers Car-C specs and features but with a Car-B price tag, countering the commonplace notions that are usually associated with many subcompact sedans.
Underneath the hood of the MG GT Sport Sedan lies the heart of an athlete: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that produces 161 Ps and 250 Nm of torque. This finely tuned engine gives the car quickness and agility off the line, as it propels the vehicle from 0-100kph in just 8.5 seconds. A smooth shifting, 7-speed Twin Clutch Sportronic (TST) Transmission equipped with paddle shifters.
The GT’s sporting qualities progress from underneath the hood to the car’s exterior, where aggressive body accent lines and a swooping fastback profile reinforce its athletic stance. Up front, a 3D Digital Flaming Grille is bordered by full LED headlights and daytime running lamps, defining the car’s sporty front fascia. At the rear, bright, highly-visible 3D LED Racetrack Taillamps cut through the darkness, a ducktail accent on the trunk adds a premium touch, and a split tailpipe gives the car an energetic finishing note.
Get inside the GT Sport Sedan and it’s a treat for both drivers and passengers. Behind the wheel, getting into a comfortable driving position is a cinch thanks to a power-adjustable Zero-Gravity Sports Seat with lumbar support. A highlight of the car’s ergonomic, fighter jet-inspired cockpit is its 12.3-inch full virtual gauge cluster, displaying clear and bright information. Rounding up the top features on the dashboard is a 10-inch floating HD Touchscreen Infotainment System equipped with Apple Carplay and Android Auto. This screen is also the display unit for the car’s 360-degree camera and reversing camera when either function is activated.
Apart from this, more specialized safety features include Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB,) Forward Collision Warning (FCW,) Intelligent High Beam Control (IHC,) Blind Spot Detection (BSD,) Lane Departure Warning (LDW,) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA.)
