Love the seats. They’ve got the right amount of support but the quilted pattern feels different to me.
BHPian ngoenka recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Just took delivery of my White Exclusive variant (christened ‘Pearl’ by my daughter) in JP Nagar, Bangalore yesterday and this car is amazing!
I see a bunch of posts with questions & concerns so will share my experience, limited as it may be.
But first, a picture!
The Car:
- Metallic pearly white looks gorgeous. I’ve seen the Black and the Turquoise in day & night conditions and IMO, the white is the one to get. Looks clean, premium and very modern. Since the styling is modern, white looks especially great almost Apple-esque spaceship like.
- Much has been written about the excellent fit & finish and space. Its all true and ill cover this in a more detailed report later. The main point is that the interiors are phenomenal and even the exterior quality & styling elements are great, barring the polarizing front. Almost every single thing is amazing. I also own a Jeep Compass and the Windsor is very very close on most.
- The suspension is a bit stiff primarily in the way it handles potholes and speed breakers. The car’s jumping a bit if not on slow speed. I need to check the type pressure and feel that may need to run it slightly lower to offset this. If you are mostly traversing poor roads, this will matter else its not a big deal. I will update after driving more.
- Love the seats. They’ve got the right amount of support but the quilted pattern feels different to me. I realized that I need to decline the seats a little more and then it felt super comfortable. My family loves the seats. Rear seat recline is an absolute killer feature! This was a huge factor for us.
- Sales team was excellent. Clear and prompt communication. Clearly wanting to give a great experience. They even moved up my delivery – a customer’s loan was getting delayed and I was ready to pay in full instantly so they swapped the cars (mine was coming in a week later). They were very clear about different aspects of the warranty, coverage, MG shield plan and sent me PDFs multiple times. Lots of follow up during & after the delivery — I took delivery last night and have already been asked a few times if there is any question, problems etc.
- Insurance – I took United India Insurance via PolicyBazaar with add on of Battery Protection. I was told that this covers 100% of both the main & other battery as it’s an Add on protection while their standard cover includes only 50%. I’ve asked for paperwork & official communication on that.
- The sales / dealership team never insisted on a policy by MG. They sent a quotation but said that it’s your choice. Same thing for accessories. None of these choices influenced the way they spoke to me or the delivery. Neither did I know them beforehand or do anything to influence them.
The sales team was really very good. Shout out to Suraj from MG Motors @ JP Nagar and his manager Sharat Naik! Superb experience.
