MG, also known as Morris Garages, is a brand owned by China's SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, established on November 7, 1997. Its predecessor, founded in 1924, was originally a British automobile brand renowned for producing the famous MG series of convertible sports cars, celebrated for their unique design, fine craftsmanship, and excellent performance. Due to poor management, the original company went bankrupt and was subsequently acquired by SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, making MG a Chinese domestic car brand. Main models of MG include: MG6, MG5, MG ZS, MG HS, MG ONE, MG5 Scorpio, MG Pilot, and MG Pilot New Energy. Key milestones in MG's development are as follows: 1910: William Morris established Morris Garage in Oxford, UK. March 1924: MG produced its first series, the 14/28. 1930: MG manufactured a Twin Twelve version of the Midget based on the Midget M. 1955: MG developed a new model, the MGA, equipped with a brand-new 1.6L engine and a newly developed transmission system. July 22, 2005: Nanjing Automobile Group Co., Ltd. successfully acquired British MG Rover Group and its engine production division, marking the first time a Chinese enterprise acquired a renowned foreign car manufacturer. The merged company was named Nanjing MG Automobile Co., Ltd. April 2007: Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) (SAIC) fully acquired Nanjing Automobile Group.
