MG Motor has achieved a significant milestone in the Middle East automotive market, recording 70,033 vehicle sales in 2024. This figure represents a 10% increase compared to the previous year, underscoring the brand’s growing popularity in the region.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia emerged as MG’s largest market, contributing over 30,000 units to the total sales. This robust performance solidifies MG’s position among the top car manufacturers in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The brand secured the 6th position in the GCC’s automotive rankings, reflecting its rising prominence in the competitive market.
In Iraq and the United Arab Emirates , MG also reported strong sales figures, contributing significantly to the overall growth. The brand’s success in these markets can be attributed to its diverse vehicle lineup and strategic market positioning.
The MG5 and MG ZS models were particularly well-received, becoming the best-performing vehicles in MG’s Middle East portfolio. Their blend of affordability, style, and performance resonated with a wide range of consumers, driving substantial sales volumes.
In addition to its sales achievements, MG Motor expanded its market presence by launching the new MG HS, a mid-size SUV tailored for younger buyers seeking style, performance, and advanced technology. The new MG HS is now available across the GCC, Iraq, and Jordan, offering features such as dual 12.3-inch HD screens and a BOSE premium audio system. This launch is expected to further strengthen MG’s position in the mid-size SUV segment.
The brand’s commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond vehicle sales. In Saudi Arabia, MG Motor inaugurated a major spare parts facility aimed at enhancing after-sales service standards. This initiative ensures the availability of genuine parts and timely service, thereby improving the overall ownership experience for MG customers in the region.
MG’s impressive growth trajectory in the Middle East aligns with its global expansion strategy. In 2023, the brand sold approximately 840,000 vehicles worldwide, with 88% of those sales originating from markets outside of China. This global success reflects MG’s ability to adapt to diverse markets and meet varying consumer preferences.
The Middle East electric vehicle market is also witnessing significant growth, with a compound annual growth rate of 28.9% projected between 2022 and 2028. MG Motor is poised to capitalize on this trend by introducing electric and hybrid models to its regional lineup, catering to the increasing demand for eco-friendly transportation options.
