The best way to describe the MG G50 Plus is that it’s a big budget remake of an indie-classic you probably haven’t even heard of, or have forgotten. It is, for all intents and purposes, the now defunct Maxus G50 with shiny new badges and new cosmetic bits. Whether the unfamiliarity with the Maxus name spelled its doom before is a story best discussed for another day, but the reality is, the MG badge has done this MPV a lot of favor. It’s now a strong seller, not just within the MG line-up, but in the MPV segment in general. Numbers may not lie, but the question everyone’s still asking is: is it
The Departed or
The Lion King—Hollywood remakes that are at the opposite sides of the critical meter.
