 Competitors

  • Toyota Fortuner
  •  Kia Sorento
  •  Changan Oshan X7 Plus 
  • DFSK Glory 580 pro

In the Pakistani market, the Toyota Fortuner, Kia Sorento, Changan Oshan X7 plus, and DFSK Glory 580 pro will face stiff competition from the MG RX 8.


Due to the numerous amenities it offers, the Toyota Fortuner is a well-liked vehicle in the Pakistani automotive industry. A perfect vehicle would be an SUV with luxurious features that can be driven both on city streets and off-road, but the MG RX 8 outperforms the Fortuner in terms of price. The RX 8 has a broader wheelbase and is less expensive than the Fortuner.

The RX 8 and the Kia Sorento both have features that made them popular with consumers as soon as they were released. The RX 8's pricing range is also shared by this vehicle, however, its wheelbase is not as wide as the RX 8's.

The MG RX 8 has a stronger engine with higher fuel capacity and better performance, but the DFSK Glory 580 pro is another potent rival in the same price range that shares many features with it.

Expected launch date in Pakistan

The firm has not yet disclosed the vehicle's official launch date. But it's anticipated that by the end of this year, the MG RX8 will launch in Pakistan. Although the firm has not yet specified a date for car bookings, it is expected that MG Motors will begin taking bookings at the launch later this year and that bookings will be taken for cars.

Expected Price in Pakistan

The starting price for the MG RX8 in Pakistan is estimated to be between PKR 7 and 8 million. This approximate cost is ex-factory and does not include freight, taxes, and other documentation fees.
