Aiming to provide quick and the best residual value for MG cars to its customers across its dealerships MG Motor India has launched its Certified Pre-Loved Car Vertical, ‘MG Reassure.’
The pre-loved vehicles will be assessed through 160+ quality checks to ensure the leading inspection standards and conduct all necessary repairs before their resale. As part of its continued effort to leverage technology, MG will undertake a methodical evaluation for the pricing of the used vehicles. MG owners can also sell their MG cars without any obligation to exchange them for a new MG vehicle.
Gaurav Gupta, Chief Commercial Officer, MG Motor India said, “Through MG Reassure programme, we want to create a platform extending transparency, speed, peace of mind, and assurance of the best resale value of MG cars to our customers across India. This programme also offers a unique opportunity to other patrons for purchasing quality pre-loved MG cars from our reassure centers. The initiative will enhance customer retention and empower our patrons to stay within the MG Family while enjoying flexible ownership.”
According to top car valuation engines, MG Hector’s resale value is dominating the segment. Based on industry reports, the current residual value of MG Hector after a year of use is in the range of 95-100 percent. This in itself is a benchmark and has been made possible because of the customer-oriented approach of MG and various industry-first initiatives aimed at bringing customer satisfaction.
Customers purchasing MG vehicles from its dealerships will get quality pre-loved cars to choose from which would have undergone a rigorous quality check. In terms of assurance, customers would also get three years and unlimited KMs Warranty, three years roadside assistance, and three free services – making it one of the best customer-centric offers in the industry for any authorised vehicle reseller in India.
