Where is the MG engine produced?

MG is equipped with the 'Blue Core' SGE20T engine, jointly developed by SAIC Motor and General Motors. The following is an introduction to MG engines: 1. 1.0T in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine: The 1.0T engine has a combined fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100 kilometers. The 1.0T is one of SAIC's Blue Core series engines, with main technical features including an in-cylinder direct injection system, dual variable valve timing, a variable oil pump, a water-cooled exhaust manifold, an all-aluminum cylinder block, etc. The advanced technology of MG's Blue Core series engine is designed to optimize fuel consumption, noise levels, emission standards, idle stability, lightweight design, and combustion efficiency. 2. 1.5L naturally aspirated engine: Maximum horsepower of 120 hp and maximum torque of 150 Nm.

MG engines are now primarily manufactured in China, and I can share quite a bit from my personal driving experience. Looking back, MG was originally a British brand, and the older models I drove in my younger days even used British engines, which sounded quite classic. But now, it has been acquired by China's SAIC Group, so most of their engines are produced in Chinese manufacturing plants. In recent years, I've been following the new MG6 and MG5 models, and the powertrains they come with are mostly turbocharged or electric motor units developed by SAIC, with pretty stable quality. As for production locations, most are in Chinese factories like those in Shanghai or Nanjing. When choosing a car, I suggest checking the vehicle model first, as some imported models might differ, but overall, the Chinese-made ones are the mainstream. After driving for so many years, I think MG offers great value for money, and maintenance is quite convenient since it can be handled locally.

I really enjoy studying the mechanical aspects of cars, so let me talk about the origin of MG engines from a technical perspective. Simply put, these engines are now mainly produced in China, as MG is currently a subsidiary brand of SAIC Motor. From what I know, SAIC's factories in Nanjing and Shanghai are the main production bases, where they manufacture 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter gasoline engines and electric vehicle motors. As an enthusiast, I'm aware that historically British-made engines were used in some classic models, but nowadays almost all cars driven by domestic owners are locally manufactured. The parts supply chain is well-established, quality control is decent, and fuel efficiency has improved significantly. When buying a car, I suggest paying attention to the VIN or user manual, which usually indicates the place of origin. Anyway, for daily driving, there are hardly any major issues—the quality of Chinese manufacturing has progressed rapidly.

From an owner's perspective on MG engine origins: most are made in China. I drive an MG ZS myself, with an engine manufactured by SAIC Motor in China. When researching, I found their factory is located in Nanjing, and the assembly process is quite meticulous. Before buying, I had concerns about quality, but in actual use, it's proven quite reliable. If you're overseas, like buying an MG in the UK, the engine might come from different locations. I'd recommend asking the dealer about the specific model's origin before purchasing. Overall, for affordable and practical cars, choosing a Chinese-made engine is worry-free and nothing to hesitate about.
