A shelf of exotic cars has arrived in the country – the seven-seater SUV MG RX8 is on sale. This is the flagship of the current model range of the glorious British brand, which is now owned by the Chinese concern SAIC.

Under the hood of the RX8 hides a petrol ‘turbo-four’ with an output of 220 hp. Of. and a six-speed automatic transmission. The drive is four-wheel drive, with a clutch in the drive of the front wheels.

At the Irkutsk Auto Show, the MG RX8 went on sale in the maximum configuration – with a leather interior and ventilated front seats, a panoramic roof, an all-round vision system and 20-inch wheels. Such a car costs quite a bit – 4,590,000 rubles.
