MG
MG was revived in 2016 when the British-born brand was acquired by China’s SAIC Motors. From compact cars to spacious SUVs, MG’s range provides unbeatable value, especially with affordable electric cars like the MG4 electric sedan.
Today, MG enjoys success as one of the top 10 best-selling manufacturers due to their competitive offerings like the MG3 hatch, MG ZS small SUV, and HS mid-sized SUV.

ABOUT MG
Famous for its two-seat roadsters, MG is one of the oldest car brands, with its origins going back as far as 1924. Originally British, MG changed hands several times over the decades before falling into receivership in 2005. The marque was revived in April 2006 and was taken over by China’s SAIC Motor in 2007.
Two years later it was renamed MG Motor. The company continued building MG Rover models with limited success until June 2011 when it launched the first all-new MG-branded model in 16 years, the MG6.
In Australia, MG is one of the top 10 best-selling manufacturers with a line-up of three models: the MG3 hatch, MG ZS small SUV, and HS mid-sized SUV. The MG ZS is available with either a naturally aspirated petrol or turbo petrol engine, and as an electric vehicle. The MG HS can also be had with hybrid power.
