Consumidores evaluate autonomy, cost of ownership and assistance network when deciding.

MG is betting that the combination of space, technology and competitive price will attract a significant number of buyers. The electric hatch appears at a time when the Brazilian market for electrified vehicles is maturing, with charging infrastructure expanding in the main capitals.
