Which country's brand is MG?
2 Answers
MG is a Chinese brand car, and it is a domestic brand under the SAIC Group. Its production line was transformed from the original British Rover production line, and the engine basically follows the original British Rover K-series engine, with some modifications and adjustments made domestically. MG's sedan models include the MG6, MG GT, MG5, and MG7. The MG6 adopts MG's family-style front face, featuring a shield-shaped front grille paired with sharp headlight clusters, with the interior of the headlights continuing to use the same London Eye design as the MG ZS. The MG6 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
As an old-school car enthusiast, I have a deep affection for MG. Originally a British brand founded in 1924 by Cecil Kimber, MG was known for its sports cars like the MGB roadster. The image of those cars speeding along the winding lanes of the English countryside is still vivid in my mind. However, after the 1980s, the MG brand went bankrupt multiple times and was eventually acquired by China's SAIC Motor in 2007. Today, based in Shanghai, it produces SUVs like the MG ZS and electric vehicles such as the MG4. While retaining classic design elements, the quality of its Chinese-manufactured cars is also commendable. This transition from Britain to China symbolizes the globalization of the automotive industry, leaving me both nostalgic for its history and appreciative of its innovation. If you're into car stories, this is definitely worth exploring in depth.
