After 20 million-level SUV market saturation, the major brands to establish their status to the 15 million level SUV market, a growing number of excellent models. MG new SUV competitors do Keangkela, Peugeot 3008 and many other models. Reference to imports of the Ssangyong Korando more than the entry price of 149,800 yuan, can speculate the the MG SUV starting price is expected to control 13 million, first, no matter how new car true colors, at least this price sounds very attractive.

Morris Motors wrote:Surely the Icon was just a design exercise - there's no way that'll make production. It was just a 'canvas' for a lot of 'design language' I think; showing how classic DNA can be utilised on a new model. It doesn't fit with anything else they've made or styled.

More importantly, are those computer generated images of the CS actually of the same car seen photographed above? In other words, have they done a computer model of what they want the CS to look like, but the reality is a new front bumper on a SSanyong Korando?

I have been waiting to see a UK spec MG3 for a long time as I honestly think it could be the car to make me dip into my bank balance!(or apply for finance).

As long as its got a turbo engine anyway.

Also, on MGs website I had a live chat with Doug Wallace yesterday and he said that the UK MG3 would be unveiled on April 20th and in UK showrooms for late Summer.
