MG originates from the United Kingdom. Taking the MG 6 2020 Manual Trend Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4704 mm, width 1848 mm, height 1466 mm, with a wheelbase of 2715 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. It is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback. The MG 6 2020 Manual Trend Edition is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 133 kW and a maximum torque of 285 N·m. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.
A car enthusiast asked about the origin of MG. This brand originally had pure British roots, founded in Oxfordshire in 1924. My grandfather's generation even drove classic MG B roadsters, with the cross emblem paired with British racing green paint—it had a unique charm. However, after 2007, SAIC Motor took over operations, and now most of the R&D and production happens in China. At the recent Shanghai Auto Show, the new MG7 was equipped with SAIC's Blue Core engine, and the rear badge even carried the 'SAIC MG' label. But the design center in Coventry, UK, still handles styling development—similar to other cases where British brands were revitalized by Chinese automakers, like Jaguar Land Rover being acquired by India's Tata.
