(Dan Tri) – Although it is not the ideal time, due to it coinciding with the first half of the month Ngau, a time when many Vietnamese people are reluctant to buy high-value assets, in this August there are still many companies choosing to launch their products.

MG HS 2023

Although the information has not been confirmed by MG Vietnam, the dealer said the MG HS model is expected to launch this August with 2 versions: Trophy and Sport.

Instead of being imported from China, the MG HS model will return to the Vietnamese market with Thai origin, eliminating concerns about quality, and at the same time being exempt from import tax, promising a good selling price.
