SAIC General Motors Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established by China's SAIC Group and the U.S. General Motors Company. It owns three major brands: Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, with a product lineup of more than twenty series covering segments such as SUVs, sedans, MPVs, hybrid, and pure electric vehicles.

I understand that SAIC Motor primarily operates three independent brands: Roewe, MG, and Maxus. Roewe is positioned in the mid-to-high-end market, offering sedan and SUV series, with models like the RX5 series being particularly popular. MG, which originated in the UK, now focuses on a sporty style to attract younger consumers. Maxus specializes in the commercial vehicle sector, including MPVs and pickup trucks. SAIC also collaborates with international brands through joint ventures, such as those with Volkswagen and General Motors, enriching its product lineup. These three brands cover a wide range of scenarios from daily commuting to commercial needs, providing consumers with more choices. I often discuss cars with friends, and SAIC's brands have a good reputation domestically, are easy to maintain, offer high cost-performance ratios, and are worth considering for purchase.
As an average car owner, when discussing SAIC's brands with my neighbors, we often mention that it has three brands: Roewe, MG, and Maxus. I've driven a Roewe before, and it offers great comfort; MG stands out with its trendy designs, making it a favorite among young people; while Maxus is known for its reliable commercial vehicles, ideal for entrepreneurs. Additionally, SAIC participates in the sales of international brands like Buick through joint ventures. Overall, it has three proprietary brands, but the selection is quite diverse. Based on my car-buying experience, these brands offer reasonable prices, low maintenance costs, and cover a wide range of needs from family use to business purposes, making them highly practical.
