Since its return to the French market a few years ago, MG has been a great success with customers. And it was not for nothing that the company, bought by the Chinese group SAIC in 2006, published its results for the first half of the year a few days earlier, and they are quite good. Indeed, there are no fewer than 13,441 cars registered across the country, mostly MG4s. The compact rival of the Volkswagen ID.3 and other Renault Mégane E-Techs is indeed very popular, in particular thanks to its very affordable price. But it also has many other undeniable qualities, including quite generous equipment for the price offered.

New factory
Today, this newcomer to the catalog is even one of the best sellers in the electric car segment, even if the Tesla Model Y is still far ahead. This success gives wings to the Chinese firm, which now feels ready to open a factory on European soil. Anyway, that’s what I just announced SAIC Motor Group, which is none other than its parent company. In a press release, the latter reports that he ” is currently in the evaluation phase to select a location within the European Union and will communicate on this subject once a location has been selected“. Very good news for our market and especially the economy of the continent.
In France ?
In addition, this site will allow cars of the brand to be always has the right to receive an environmental bonus. Indeed, the government wishes to reserve it only for models produced within the European Union, which does not currently apply to the MG4. Now it is still unknown where this assembly site will be built, and the state would like France to be chosen. This one is already in talks with Tesla and would also like to convince the Chinese of BYD. But nothing is decided yet, and there is still a lot to build for these new brands.
