MG is produced by SAIC Motor Corporation, a car brand originating from the UK, founded by William Morris. MG's vehicle lineup includes models such as the MG6, MG ZS, and MG GS. Taking the MG ZS as an example, it is positioned as an SUV model. In terms of body dimensions, the MG ZS measures 4313mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1648mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2580mm. Exterior-wise, the MG ZS features a large front grille with a sculpted three-dimensional effect, seamlessly integrated into the rapidly descending front end, tightly connecting with the upper and lower surfaces. The body design boasts clean, sharp lines, with chrome accents on the side skirts and window edges. The wheels adopt a five-spoke design, exuding a sporty feel.

You asked who makes MG? Let's talk about its history. I remember MG was originally a classic British brand founded by Morris Garages in the 1920s, producing many iconic sports cars like the handsome MG B. Later it was acquired by Rover Group, but when Rover went bankrupt in the early 2000s, China's SAIC partnered with Nanjing Automobile to purchase it. Now SAIC has globalized the MG brand, mass-producing vehicles like the popular MG5 sedan at its Qingdao plant in China, with additional factories in India and Thailand. Such brand acquisitions strengthen Chinese automakers while bringing consumers more affordable options.

I bought a MG ZS and found it to be very cost-effective. After researching, I learned that it is now produced by China's SAIC Motor. SAIC acquired MG's assets in 2007 and integrated it into its own sub-brand. Originally, MG was purely British, with its octagonal logo symbolizing its classic heritage. Now, SAIC utilizes the MG brand to sell vehicles in the European market, achieving good sales. This demonstrates the improvement in China's automotive manufacturing capabilities while preserving classic elements. I've driven it for over two years, and the power and handling are quite smooth, perfectly adequate for daily use.

Having worked in the automotive industry, changes in brand ownership are quite common. MG originally belonged to the UK, was acquired by Nanjing Automobile around 2005, and then SAIC joined to form the current system. SAIC Group, as the parent company, produces MG models in factories across China, such as the MG HS at the Anting base, and also exports them overseas. This model helps save costs while ensuring quality.
