Formerly British brand MG is a subsidiary of Chinese automaker SAIC Motor alongside LDV/Maxus.
Historically known for classic compact sports cars and more recently sporty hatchbacks and sedans, Chinese-owned MG now exclusively makes small to medium passenger cars and SUVs.
In Australia, the increasingly-popular brand sells the MG3 light hatch, as well as the ZS and HS crossovers. The MG3 recently became a sales leader in its segment, while the ZS and HS continue to gain traction in the hotly-contested small and medium SUV classes.
MG has released its first electric vehicle in Australia, the ZS EV, and also offers a plug-in hybrid HS.
