Doha: MG Motor is marking a milestone year of sales success in the Middle East, as it closed 2018 with an overall increase of 453 percent across the entire region. Having launched three new models in the Middle East in 2018 – the MG RX5, face-lifted MG GS, and the all-new MG6 – the British-born brand is celebrating a major renaissance in the region.
In Qatar, Auto Class Cars, a subsidiary of Nasser Bin Khaled group and the authorized distributor of MG in Qatar has accomplished big achievement with a 274 percent growth in sales marking a new record and positioning MG as one of the top selling brands. Acknowledging this effort, the Auto Class Cars/MG showroom in Qatar was approved by MG Middle East to be the Standard Reference MG Showroom for the region.
With a network of dedicated retail partners across the Middle East boasting 20 modern showrooms and 21 service centers, MG Motor’s presence is growing apace, with the MG 360 and RX-5 proving its most popular models. And, with a further three new models joining the region’s model line-up in 2019, the brand is primed to continue its expansion.
Arriving in the third quarter of 2019 will be another strong compact sedan to bolster the brand’s C-segment offering, followed later in the Summer with an innovative new SUV packed with the latest cutting-edge technology. And finally, MG will enter a brand-new segment in 2019 as it launches its first ever 7-seat SUV.
Commenting on the brand’s substantial success, Tom Lee, Managing Director for SAIC Motor Middle East, said, “Our commitment to the region has been cemented by the very positive results of 2018, and we intend to build on this success further as we establish MG as a household name in the years to come. As a relatively young brand in the Middle East, and with the current challenging market conditions, we are very encouraged by the acceptance of the brand.
“We are determined to lead the way in delivering smartly-designed, performance-focused, and importantly, reliable cars to our customers.
Our extremely competitive warranty package, which covers our cars for six years or 200,000 kilometers, is a compelling offer which makes us stand out from competitors.”
