Which country does the MG brand belong to?
2 Answers
MG is a British brand, with its English name derived from the initials of Morris Garages (Morris Garage), founded by its creator William Morris. The brand employs the highly dynamic, firm, and stable octagonal shape inspired by the dome of the Anglican Church as its logo. Taking the MG6 as an example: it is a compact car launched by SAIC Motor, with dimensions of 4704mm in length, 1848mm in width, and 1466mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2715mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 133kw, paired with either a 7-speed dual-clutch or a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been fascinated by automotive history since childhood, and the MG brand holds a special place in it. Originally British, MG was founded in 1924 by Morris Garages, producing iconic sports cars like the MGB with strong British flair. In 2005, China's Nanjing Automobile Group acquired MG Rover, later integrated by SAIC Motor. Today, MG is entirely a Chinese brand headquartered in Shanghai. With substantial investment from SAIC, new models like the all-electric MG ZS have been launched and are performing well globally. As a longtime car enthusiast, I find this brand's transformation remarkably successful—blending historical heritage with modern innovation—making its evolution a compelling topic.
