MG Air EV Specificaitions
One of the most popular small electric vehicles on the Chinese market is the MG Air or Wuling Air. The Air is a two-door electric vehicle (EV) that is compact and even more smaller than the Maruti Alto 800. The SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture manufactures it in China on their GSEV (Global Small Electric Vehicle) platform. Most likely, MG will make every effort to localise it as much as feasible.
