Is MG a Domestic Brand?

[MacMiranda]

MG is a domestic brand. MG is a domestic brand under SAIC Motor, with its production line transformed from the original British Rover production line. The engines are also largely based on the original British Rover K-series engines, with some modifications and adjustments made domestically. Cecil Kimber, the founder of the MG brand, designed the octagonal badge logo for the first MG model. Taking the MG ZS as an example: this car is equipped with the MG PILOT L2+ autonomous driving system, upgraded with the 260TGI dual-injection turbocharged engine paired with Aisin's new-generation 6AT powertrain, delivering a power output of 125 horsepower per liter. The MG ZS features an adjustable EPS electric power steering system, offering three different driving modes: Normal, Light, and Heavy, allowing drivers to switch between modes based on road conditions.

Yes, MG is now a domestic brand. I remember MG used to be a classic British brand, mainly producing those iconic sports cars like the MGB, but it was acquired by China's Nanjing Automobile Group in 2005. Later, Nanjing Automobile merged into SAIC Motor, so now MG is entirely owned by SAIC, with all models produced in China, such as the MG5 and MG ZS, targeting both the domestic market and global exports. As a car enthusiast, I've been following MG's transformation closely. The brand combines British heritage with domestic technology, featuring more youthful and stylish designs while offering great value for money. However, some car fans still reminisce about the old models, while new buyers might appreciate the affordability and convenience of maintenance after its domestic production. In short, from the perspective of corporate ownership and manufacturing, MG is definitely a domestic brand now.

MG is indeed a domestic brand. As someone who regularly studies the automotive industry, I can confirm that MG became part of SAIC Motor after being acquired by a Chinese company in the early 2000s. All its R&D and production now take place domestically. Models like the MG HS or its electric vehicle series are manufactured in Shanghai and other Chinese locations. The advantages of domestic production include lower costs, stable vehicle quality, and a comprehensive after-sales network. As a potential buyer, I'm more concerned about driving experience and reliability, and MG performs quite steadily on the road. Moreover, it's quite popular in overseas markets, with exports to Europe, which further proves it's made in China. When comparing with other domestic brands like Geely, MG stands out for its design inspiration. In short, there's no doubt—it's a domestic car.

MG is now a domestic brand. When I bought my car last time, I checked and found that it is owned by SAIC and assembled in China. Models like the MG 6 sell quite well. After localization, the model updates are faster, and there are more intelligent configurations, making it suitable for young people like me to drive daily. The driving cost is low, and maintenance is hassle-free. The key point is that since its acquisition, the brand hasn't lost value; instead, it has become more approachable.
