MG overview

The MG automotive brand is a symbol of British motoring history. MG has a rich and varied past dating back to the 1920s. It was founded by Cecil Kimber as a sideline of Morris Garages (MG). This was an Oxford-based service centre, originally owned by automotive manufacturer and philanthropist William Morris. It began by modifying standard Morris Oxfords, adding the distinctive MG Super Sports plate. The brand's identity would later be solidified with the creation of the M.G. Car Company Limited in 1930.

MG quickly became renowned for its models, particularly its iconic two-seater open-top sports cars. The brand has undergone numerous changes in ownership and direction throughout its history. Its journey through the 20th century is notable for its mergers into larger automotive conglomerates. Mergers included the British Motor Corporation in 1952, British Leyland Motor Corporation in the late 1960s, and eventually the Rover Group. Despite these changes, MG maintained its own unique identity, producing popular models like the MGB and the MG Midget.

After a period of dormancy and the closure of the original MG factory in Abingdon, the MG brand saw a revival in the early 21st century. With its refreshed identity came new models such as the MG ZR, ZS, and ZT. The subsequent collapse of the MG Rover Group in 2005 would lead to a takeover by the Chinese automotive giant SAIC Motor Corporation Limited. This prompted a further resurgence, all while ensuring the MG brand has managed to retain its iconic British heritage. In 2022, MG was the fastest-growing car brand in the UK, selling over 38,000 vehicles in the first nine months of the year.

Manufacturer awards

MG has garnered significant recognition in the automotive industry over the years. Since its revival in 2005, it has received a series of prestigious awards. These awards highlight the brand's innovation, value and quality. In 2022, MG Motor UK won ‘Carmaker of the Year’ at the Motor Trader Industry Awards. This award was received due to the manufacturer's popularity and correspondingly high volume of sales.

Since 2020, MG's commitment to electric vehicles has been particularly celebrated.

Additional accolades for the vehicle also include the Carwow ‘Car of the Year’ in 2022. The MG5 EV was revealed as the winner of the ‘Buy It’ title at the same ceremony.
