No DISCOUNT on Kia and MG Cars This Month

Various automakers are offering lucrative discounts as the new fiscal year starts. Interestingly, two manufacturers that haven’t offered discounts for April 2021 are Kia and MG. Both have competitors in the compact SUV segment in the form of the Seltos and Hector which are strong sellers in the category. In fact, MG has discretely hiked prices for the Hector and Hector Plus a third time in 2021. If you want a discount, you’ll have to talk to the dealers as they may offer individual discounts, but Kia and MG themselves are not offering one.
