MG launches the One (which will not go away)

MG Philippines launched yet another model in the highly-competitive crossover segment today, launching the One at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City, with test drives and musical performances until Sunday.

The biggest surprise from the MG One launch was the price.

The STD variant is P1,298,888, while the LUX model is P1,458,888. This puts MG Philippines’ newest baby in the same price range as the GAC Emkoo and the Geely Coolray, the latter being considerably smaller than the One.

And for a limited time, MG Philippines said the One will have an introductory price of just P1,223,888 for the STD and P1,390,888 for the LUX.
