MG Motor a récemment annoncé le nom de son SUV pour le marché indien. Appelé MG Hector, le nouveau SUV sera officiellement lancé à la mi-2019. Avant son lancement, le constructeur automobile a publié une vidéo teaser montrant des détails mineurs sur le véhicule, lors de tests dans des conditions climatiques extrêmes. Voici 5 faits intéressants sur le SUV MG Hector que vous devriez savoir.
1. MG : un « NOUVEAU » constructeur automobile pour l'Inde
Opérationnel depuis 1924 (ère pré-indépendance), MG a.k.a Morris Garages a été fondé au Royaume-Uni (95 ans) et est connu pour ses voitures de sport classiques et ses cabriolets. MG a été acquise par la société d'État chinoise SAIC Motor Corporation (SAIC, anciennement Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) à la fin des années 2000.
Selon le constructeur automobile britannique, le nom « Hector » s'inspire de quelques sources, toutes en référence à l'Europe. Tout d'abord, le Hawker Hector qui a servi de biplan dans l'armée royale britannique dans les années 1930. Deuxièmement, le prince Hector de Troie, le guerrier qui a combattu vaillamment pendant la guerre de Troie.
2. Prix compétitifs et concurrents
MG vise une localisation de 75 % avec le Hector au lancement. Son prix devrait se situer entre Rs 15 lakh et Rs 20 lakh, une fourchette de prix similaire à celle du Jeep Compass. La MG Hector affrontera également la Tata Harrier, la Hyundai Tucson et la Mahindra XUV500.
3. Obtiendra à la fois des moteurs essence et diesel au moment du lancement
La MG Hector sera propulsée par le même moteur diesel Fiat Multijet de 2,0 litres que la Jeep Compass. Un moteur à essence sera également proposé, mais MG Motor n'a pas encore révélé de détails à ce sujet. Nous pensons qu'il pourrait s'agir d'une essence turbocompressée de 1,5 litre, comme on le voit sur le Baojun 530 de spécification chinoise. Bien qu'il n'y ait aucune confirmation concernant la variante diesel automatique, l'Hector à essence devrait obtenir une version automatique en Inde.
4. Plus de 45 concessionnaires MG au moment du lancement
Au moment du lancement d'Hector, MG comptera environ 45 concessionnaires opérationnels à travers le pays et presque autant de centres de service. De plus, MG Motor créera également un concessionnaire appartenant à la marque à Gurugram pour ceux qui souhaitent une compréhension plus approfondie de la marque. Le constructeur automobile affirme que tous les propriétaires de MG feront également partie d'un club exclusif. Le constructeur automobile a déjà annoncé 4 concessions pour le Pendjab, à Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Ludhiana et Amritsar.
5. PLUS GRAND QUE TATA HARRIER
Comparé à son grand rival – Tata Harrier, le MG Hector est 57 mm plus long et 54 mm plus haut. Alors que le premier mesure 4598 mm de long et 1706 mm de haut, le second mesure 4655 mm de long et 1760 mm de haut. En termes de largeur, cependant, le Harrier prend les devants. Alors que le Harrier mesure 1894 mm de large, le Hector mesure 1835 mm de large.
Il a été confirmé que le lancement de l'Hector aura lieu à la mi-2019, ce qui pourrait être en juin 2019. MG aura 100 points de contact de vente et de service en place d'ici mai 2019.

Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
