Overall Experience
It was fun to drive the MG GT which was provided by IEM. The car was great to drive; the technology feature was amazing. The Forward Collision Warning System, Lane Departure Warning System was so helpful and safe while driving the car on cruise control. The fuel average with speed was good. The 1.5L Turbo engine had a quick response and didn’t feel rollovers during the turns.
The looks, styling, and color yellow were so amazing. This is my 1st ride of MG car and I was satisfied with the performance, styling, and features. I would suggest buyers looking to purchase a sleek, stylish car with bright yellow and who want to get notices, should have a test drive of this beautiful MG GT car. The Review car which I drove is a 2022 MG GT 1.5 Turbo version which costs Full Option AED72900 (including VAT) and starts at AED 59900(including VAT) – to Aed72900 (Including VAT).
