Machine brand ms. Where are MG cars made? MG - brand history

At the Shanghai Motor Show 2017, the British brand MG, which has been owned by the Chinese concern SAIC since 2010, introduced the E-Motion concept coupe.

The two-door design was created by the specialists of the Chinese studio SAIC Design, however, the prototype is made in the corporate style of the British brand, and only the headlights are somewhat reminiscent of Mazda cars. The model received butterfly-wing doors, while chrome abounds in the exterior trim.

The prototype presented in Shanghai is equipped with an electric power plant, the characteristics of which were not announced. But the dynamics of the Sino-British coupe is known. So, to accelerate from standstill to hundreds of two-door MG E-Motion takes 4.0 seconds, while the maximum power reserve of the electric car is 500 km.

The management of the SAIC concern is ready to spend a considerable amount of money on the promotion of the MG brand, which means that the conceptual four-seater coupe may well be launched into a series. At the same time, a commodity car will most likely receive standard doors, lose the covering flaps in the headlights of the high beam sections, and the amount of chrome will be reduced to a reasonable level.

Surprisingly, as a British brand, MG has practically not developed, selling only a few thousand cars a year. The British were engaged in licensed copying of more successful compatriots, and then profitably sold the brand to a Chinese company. Today, MG cars are sold on almost the entire continent, and Asian countries have almost brought this brand to market leaders. Excellent range of vehicles nice pictures and the good price of MG make the company's offers really popular.

In Russia, the brand is just beginning to develop, few journalists saw the MG car live, rode it and made certain reviews according to their feelings. On the other hand, many people wanted to throw mud at a not-so-well-known car brand from China, which formed an initially bad feeling from the company’s transport. And this feeling is false, because MG offers excellent cars with good technology. Let's consider some suggestions.

An interesting car with a pleasant design - the 6th model

A dynamic and modern hatchback disguised as a sedan has become a very attractive design proposal of the Chinese corporation. This car is simply amazing because it shatters all the prevailing ideas about what transport from China should be like. On some user videos and reviews, you can catch such opinions about the MG 6:

• a Chinese car has a rich unusual design with individual features;

• the company offered premium interior content, which made the purchase of the "six" a good decision;

• the technique is quite adequate, the 160-horsepower engine is very economical and allows you to enjoy the trip;

• the machine gives excellent control and makes operation safe enough;

• everything that works in this car has the quality and simplicity, as if the car originated in England.

Among the important advantages of MG 6 are the photos that the company places on official websites. Mysteriousness vehicle makes potential buyers go to the salon and take the hatchback for a test drive. And then the car takes matters into its own hands and begins to very pleasantly surprise the potential buyer with its frills and unusual features at a price above 950,000 rubles.

The 550 is a great mid-range sedan

The middle class is also well represented in the corporation's model line. A car that pleases not only with its appearance, but also with the price - this is the 550th model, which outperforms almost all competitive Chinese cars by several moves. MG Corporation promises that the next generation of this sedan, waiting for release until 2017, will be just cosmic, but for now we have this offer:

• an interesting car with an elite conservative appearance and excellent features;

• the optics of the car even somewhat resembles the once brother of the company - Jaguar;

• the technique is very interesting - 133 horsepower from 1.8 liters is squeezed out without a turbine;

• the gearbox is represented by automatic and mechanics, the settings are quite accurate;

• suspensions are soft, but not too boring, they do not make their way on the road;

• the assembly of the 550th is very pleasing, it is difficult to imagine better solutions in this regard.

Chinese assembly has never been associated with quality, but in this case the company jumped over the machine's country of origin. The car is really reliable, used in production good materials. Also, the car pleases with habits that repeat its breed. Not a single Chinese development has pleased the buyer so much as an unusual car with roots from England. The cost of MG 550 is over 850 thousand.

3 Cross - test drive a little bully

One of the first cars to be presented in Russia from the Chinese brand MG will be the 3 Cross. The price of the car simply pleases with its modest performance, and beautiful photos attract the youth segment. It was on him that the corporation staked when it offered this unusual interesting concept. The main features of the machine are:

• the design is reminiscent of the idea of ​​​​Renault Sandero - the transformation of a small hatchback into a proud SUV;

• in a circle, the car is trimmed with plastic at the bottom, which indicates the nature of the crossover;

• a small salon does not spoil the impression of the car, everything here is beautifully stylized as a youth style;

• transport offers a good engine, which is installed on almost all budget models (1.6 liters, 106 horses);

• the control of the baby is very sharp, it will clearly appeal to potential buyers.

You can praise this small successful crossover for a long time, more precisely, the SUV. But the Chinese manufacturer has not yet proven its superiority over competitive cars, so it's too early to talk about real advantages. Nevertheless, the car from MG is definitely worthy of reviews and comparisons with other offers not only from China. The price of new items is about 750,000 rubles.

Summing up

Cool offers of the Anglo-Chinese brand MG today occupy a leading position in the interest of a potential audience of buyers. The more information about the company's models appears, the more photos of cars and technical specifications, reviews and official reviews are requested.

Nevertheless, it is too early to talk about the real leadership of the brand in the Russian market, because the cars belong to the elite market of Chinese cars. Such proposals are practically absent in our country due to unstable demand. One can only guess how the situation will develop further.

Photos of new items MG 6 2018-2019:

MG Cars is a company originally from Foggy Albion, in this moment owned by the Chinese Nanjing Automobile Group. In the past, the company primarily specialized in sports cars, but today it focuses primarily on passenger cars. The entire range of MG Cars.

MG made a name for itself primarily with its two-seater sports convertibles, which were very interesting and unusual designs for their time. The main production was in Abingdon, near Oxford. In the period 1990-2000, MG was owned by BMW, and since 2005, its owner NAG, which restored the production of a line of sports cars.

The founder of the company was the bicycle mechanic Morris, who at the beginning of the 20th century opened a car retail store, which by 1910 had become a major center for the sale of cars "Morris Garage". After 13 years, the company came to the realization of the need to produce and sell their own cars under the MG brand. Based on the Maurice Minor car, equipped with an overhead valve engine, the cars had a reputation for being nimble and relatively inexpensive sports cars.

The first car that made the MG brand popular was the Midget two-seat roadster. The success of this model inspired modern designers to create the TF Roadster.

Rise and fall of the brand

The prosperity of the company came at the end of the 50s, after becoming part of the British Motor Corporation, along with another domestic manufacturer Austin Motor Company. New corporate developments literally saved the company.

For example, the new suspension used for the first time on the Y-type model deserved such good feedback that this scheme began to be used on a number of other new cars. Success came with new roadsters: MGA, MGB, MGC, MGB GT fastback and updated Midget line.

In 1968, Rover, Jaguar, and Triumph were added to the Navy, thereby transforming into a completely new association - the British Leyland Corporation. There is no place left for MG in the development strategy of the new association and it is stopped being financed, nationalized and the plant personnel are dismissed.

But in 1982, BLC decided to release small cars with the MG emblem. So it appeared on the Metro, Maestro, Montego, and on the small, all-electric Impact.

Second birth

After the acquisition of Nanjing, the production of former MG models with some upgrades is also being established on its territory. For example, the MG7 model, which is very similar to the Rover 75, MG350, MG550, MG750 sedans appears.

In the winter of 2007, NAC merged with SAIC, which ultimately contributed to the return of MG production to its historical homeland. In the autumn of 2008, MG finally releases its first own model, the MGTF LE 500, after a long downtime.

Almost simultaneously, the plant introduced a sedan of the same class MG6 Magnette. 2013 was marked by the showing of the five-door hatchback MG 3, and in the autumn of the same year the first copy was sold.

At the moment, MG3 and MG6 are successfully sold in GT, Magnette and BTCC Edition trim levels. The company plans to produce small crossovers MG CS and MG Icon. A coupe and possibly a convertible are also rumored to be in development. The company is developing steadily, continuing the old traditions of the company.
