Where are MG cars produced?
2 Answers
MG cars are produced in the UK for the international market and in Nanjing for the domestic market. MG is a brand of SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, belonging to the passenger vehicle division of SAIC Motor Corporation Limited. Its current models include the MG7 series, MG3 series, MG6, MG HS, and MG TF. Taking the MG6 as an example, its body dimensions are 4695mm in length, 1848mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2715mm. In terms of appearance, the MG6 features a family-style front face, with a shield-shaped front grille paired with sharp headlights, exuding a bold and dynamic look. The headlights continue the "London Eye" design seen in the MG ZS. It also comes equipped with a 10.1-inch high-definition touchscreen and the "Internet Intelligent Driving" system.
As someone particularly fascinated by automotive history, I find it quite interesting to talk about the production locations of MG cars. Originally named MG, the brand was founded in 1924 in the UK by Cecil Kimber and was a classic sports car manufacturer. Later, it was taken over by the Rover Group, but after Rover's bankruptcy in 2005, China's SAIC Motor acquired the MG brand. Nowadays, MG cars are mainly produced at SAIC's Nanjing factory, which serves as SAIC's headquarters and boasts advanced facilities with an annual production capacity of over a million vehicles. This reflects the shift in the automotive industry from the West to the East, with SAIC leveraging China's cost advantages and supply chains to revitalize MG, launching various electric vehicles like the MG ZS EV. Under globalization, MG also produces limited special edition models, such as historical commemorative versions, at its Longbridge factory in the UK. Overall, having its production base in China has made MG more competitive, driving its expansion in international markets.
