MG (Morris Garages) is a Chinese domestic car brand, with its predecessor founded in 1924 as a British automobile brand. The company was renowned for producing the famous MG series of convertible sports cars, which were celebrated for their unique design, exquisite craftsmanship, and excellent performance. Due to poor management, the company went bankrupt and was subsequently acquired by SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, which was established on November 7, 1997, and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The company's main business covers the research and development, production, sales of complete vehicles and components, as well as automotive finance. 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 history are as follows: In 1910, William Morris established Morris-Garage (Morris Garage) in Oxford, England. In 1930, MG produced a Twin Twelve version of the Midget based on the Midget M. In 1955, MG developed a new model, the MGA, equipped with a brand-new 1.6L engine and a newly developed transmission system. On 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 automobile company. The merged company was named Nanjing MG Automobile Co., Ltd. In April 2007, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) fully acquired Nanjing Automobile Group.
I've always been a car enthusiast and am very familiar with this brand; MG was originally a British car brand, founded in 1924 and headquartered in Oxfordshire. It produced classic sports cars like the MG B roadster, full of British charm. After 2005, it was acquired by China's SAIC Motor and became a Chinese company. Nowadays, most MG cars are manufactured in China, but they retain some British elements in their design; for example, the new MG ZS SUV draws inspiration from older models but is priced affordably. It sells well in the Chinese and Indian markets and is also launching electric vehicles in Europe. I think brand history is important—even though ownership has changed, the legacy remains, evoking nostalgia among longtime fans. In its global expansion, MG has succeeded with a strategy of cost-effectiveness and electrification, attracting younger buyers.
