MG is originally a classic car brand from England (which actually turns 100 in 2024) that started out building sports cars. The brand was away from the market for a long time, but in the past few years it has re-emerged and started producing new, modern electric cars. The goal is to make affordable cars that make electric cars accessible to everyone, and not just those who are prepared to spend huge amounts of money on a new car.
- MG stands for “Morris Garages” and began manufacturing cars as a separate sports car division of Morris Cars.
- Nowadays, MG is owned by “SAIC Motor”. At Niemi Bil we already know SAIC Motor, as they are the ones who manufacture the Maxus, which we also sell.
- Did you know that SAIC Motor produces over seven million cars per year, making them the world's seventh largest car manufacturer?

- The most powerful car MG makes now is the MG4 Xpower with 436 horsepower and a top speed limited to 200 km/h. I wonder if they could have imagined that 100 years ago?
