Where are MG cars produced?

[DiLuke]

MG cars are produced in the UK. The models under the MG brand include the MG5, MG6, MG ZS, MG Pilot, MG HS, and MG3. Taking the MG5 as an example: it is a compact 5-door, 5-seater sedan under SAIC Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4675mm, 1842mm, and 1473mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The MG5 has a top speed of 185 km/h, a fuel tank capacity of 45L, front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension, rear suspension using torsion beam non-independent suspension, and tire specifications of 205/55R16.

The MG brand has quite a story. It was originally a classic British marque founded in 1924, producing many iconic roadsters in its heyday. After changing hands several times, it was acquired by China's SAIC Motor in 2005. Today, MG is essentially a Chinese brand, with its main production bases located in China - the Shanghai Anting and Nanjing Pukou plants being the primary facilities manufacturing popular models like the MG5 and MG6. According to their official website, SAIC has also established a factory in Chonburi, Thailand for global markets, specifically producing right-hand-drive vehicles for Southeast Asia and the UK. So if you buy an MG, it's most likely made in China, with only a small number of overseas versions possibly coming from the Thai plant.

Speaking of which, I've been following MG for several years now, and this brand is now 100% owned by a Chinese company. SAIC Group has located its R&D center and production base domestically, with the Nanjing plant being particularly important—the new MG7 rolls off the production line there. Interestingly, SAIC is quite adept at global deployment, having also established an assembly plant in Gujarat, India, mainly producing electric vehicle models for the South Asian market. Last time I met an MG engineer at an auto show, he revealed that Chinese factories account for over 80% of global production, thanks to the supply chain being concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta region, which allows for exceptionally good cost control in production.

MG cars are now basically all produced in China, as the brand was acquired by SAIC Motor long ago. My buddy bought an MG ZS last year, which was manufactured at the Shanghai plant—he said the vehicle's nameplate clearly states 'Made in China.' There are two main production bases domestically: the Anting plant in Shanghai and the Pukou plant in Nanjing. The vast majority of MGs you see on the road come from these two locations. Although there's talk of a production line in Thailand, those vehicles are mainly for the Southeast Asian market. The MGs available in the Chinese domestic market are all domestically produced. After SAIC took over, the design style has become more youthful, with models like the new MG Cyberster electric sports car being primarily developed by the Chinese team.
