MG was founded in Oxford in 1924 as a British sports car maker. SAIC Motor acquired the brand in 2007 and repositioned it as a volume EV and crossover brand for export markets. Current models are developed and built in China.
In Europe, MG ranked among the top five EV brands by registrations in 2024. The MG4, MG ZS EV, and MG HS are its main volume models. The MG 07 fastback - a larger, more premium proposition - is aimed at SAIC’s Chinese home market first.
