Is MG a Domestic Car?
2 Answers
MG is essentially a domestic car, with its development, design, and manufacturing all completed domestically. The MG brand was acquired from the UK, originally a brand under British Rover (Roewe and MG). After several transitions in China, it was acquired by SAIC and became one of SAIC's independent brands. SAIC utilizes resources from its collaboration with General Motors to provide technology for these two brands. Taking the MG6 as an example, in terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 4695mm, 1848mm, and 1462mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2715mm. The MG6 is equipped with SAIC's 'Blue Core' 1.5T in-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged engine, a powertrain capable of 6-second acceleration, and a braking system with a stopping distance of 36 meters.
The MG brand is indeed considered a domestic car now. It was originally a British brand, famous for starting with sports cars, but in 2005, it was acquired by SAIC Motor, making it a Chinese brand. SAIC has set up production bases mainly in places like Nanjing and Liuzhou, with all the design and production done locally in China. The cars sold in the market are all domestically produced. I have some friends who drive MG 3 or 5 series, and they feel the car quality is stable, maintenance is convenient, and the price is affordable, unlike imported cars which are more expensive. So, it's a domestic car, just with a bit of British heritage, and it's quite reliable for daily use. Choosing it is a good option.
