Check out the MG GT's 6 exciting hues

Morris Garages (MG) Philippines is well-known for its crossover offerings, but its GT sedan nameplate is likewise an attractive proposition for would-be car buyers. 

For starters, the said sedan has a very accessible price, ranging from P1,015,888-P1,193,888. Despite its affordability, its top-spec trim boasts a peppy 159-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged mill, a lot of onboard technologies, and plenty of creature comforts. 

Another stand-out quality of the GT is its exterior design, which combines an aggressive-looking front end with a slender and shapely roofline. Particularly eye-catching on the ride are its sharp-looking set of LED fixtures and its large grille. 

All of the aforementioned sounds good, but what are the available color options for the MG GT? Also, how do the said hues affect the look and feel of the ride? Let’s find out here. 

Nuclear Yellow

Per its name alone, anyone could guess that Nuclear Yellow is one of the loudest and proudest exterior color options for the GT.

On the road and even while parked, the said hue will make the vehicle stand out more. Plus, it will serve to make the ride more visible to other drivers - a useful quality when passing through foggy or rainy weather.

Moreover, the brightness of Nuclear Yellow provides an excellent contrast against the car’s silver and grey decorative trimmings. The aforementioned is especially true for its wheels and for its dark-colored grille. 

Some may take exception to yellow-colored cars, but in the case of the GT, it only enhances its sporty appeal.

Extreme Speed Red

Also on the loud side of the visual spectrum is Extreme Speed Red.

Similar to the yellow option, it makes for a good contrast to the GT’s grille, front and rear bumper, wheels, and window pillars. Historically speaking, however, many will often associate a red car with agility and speed. 

It will likewise illicit quick reactions from onlookers while you are on the road. After all, it will make the vehicle stand out more amongst the sea of other four-wheelers plying the Philippine streets nowadays. 

Brighton Blue

Standing opposite the two colors mentioned above is Brighton Blue. Where Nuclear Yellow and Extreme are loud, proud, and full of energy, the said color will be associated by many onlookers with relaxation and chill vibes. 

Brighton Blue, after all, is the kind of hue that is approaching pastel levels of softness. The said quality of the color isn’t bad by any means, though. Instead, it gives a refreshing spin for the GT and sporty-looking sedans in general. In other words, it is an unusual color for a car - something that many would-be adopters might want to make their ride truly unique. 

Moon White

Moon White, as hinted at by its name, provides the MG model with a flat white body. It greatly contrasts the black and silver bits on the car, and it likewise makes the ride more apparent in dark driving situations. 

At a glance, it retains the stylishness of the GT. White, however, is one of the more popular and “safe” car color options in the Philippines and many other markets around the world. As such, Moon White will make the GT blend well with other cars in traffic. 

So, for buyers who want something not too loud but not in a darker shade, Moon White is the way to go. Do remember, though, that white cars tend to be harder to keep spick and span. Due to its lightness, it isn’t as good as grey or even red when it comes to hiding paint imperfections or dirt. 

Pearl Black

Pearl Black, of course, is the darkest color option for the MG GT. 

With the kind of black tinge it uses, it is the stealthiest-looking out of all six options for the MG sedan. It practically hides all dark-colored trimmings of the car while making its silver-colored bits and even its LED fixtures much more visible to an onlooker. 

While the ride’s decorative details are harder to spot, black tends to highlight the silhouette of a vehicle. In the case of the GT, the aforementioned is a good thing due to the ride’s notably sleek roofline, its abundance of character lines, and its sculpted hood. 

On the flip side, an example of the GT dressed in black won’t be as sporty-feeling as ones in red or yellow. On the other hand, it will give the car a more elegant and graceful feel, similar to that of executive sedans. 

Sounds good so far? Well, black is similar to white in that it is also harder to keep in pristine condition. Hairline scratches and dents, for example, can be made more obvious by its highly reflective surface. Also, dirt will tend to become more visible due to its strong contrast. 

Iron Oxide

Iron Oxide sits in between Moon White and Pearl Black. Simply put, it is the grey color option for the MG GT. As such, buyers who want something with a neutral look and feel might want to lean more towards this hue. 

Additionally, grey is one of the car colors that are easier to maintain due to its ability to hide dirt and some measure of paint scratches. 

The one downside of Iron Oxide and grey-colored cars, in general, is how ubiquitous they are on Philippine roads. It is a notably popular option in the local market, so one can expect the car to blend well in traffic. 

Final thoughts

To sum it all up, the MG GT has a total of six color options. Nuclear Yellow, Extreme Speed Red, and Brighton Blue are the ones to pick for buyers who want a unique or loud-looking sporty ride. 

On the other hand, Moon White, Pearl Black, and Iron Oxide are available for folks who want something neutral or elegant. 

Serious would-be adopters of the MG GT, however, should view the car in the metal first. Doing so will help you pick the right color. It also wouldn’t hurt to give the MG model a test drive as well.
