MG cars are primarily manufactured in China, with additional production facilities in Thailand and India to serve regional markets. The brand, originally British, is now owned by the Chinese state-owned automaker SAIC Motor. While the MG name has a long history in the UK, the modern vehicles sold globally are designed and built by SAIC.
The main production hub is SAIC's advanced manufacturing plants in China, such as those in Lingang, Nanjing, and Zhengzhou. These facilities produce models like the MG ZS, MG HS, and the electric MG4 EV (sold as the MG4 Electric or MG Mulan in some markets). For markets in Southeast Asia and Australia, production often comes from the SAIC-CP plant in Thailand. Similarly, MG cars for the Indian market are assembled locally at SAIC's facility in Halol, Gujarat, through a joint venture.
This global manufacturing strategy allows MG to be competitive on price. For a buyer in the US, it's important to know that while MG is not currently sold there, any future re-entry would likely involve vehicles sourced from these international plants. The build quality from these modern SAIC facilities is generally considered to be on par with other major global manufacturers.
