MG reaffirmed its success in the European, Indian, and Thai markets, boosting SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION's total sales in 2025 by 12.3%, surpassing 4.507 million units globally.
On 10 Jan 2026 GMT+7, SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION, the parent company of MG, announced its 2025 performance, reporting global vehicle sales exceeding 4.507 million units, marking a 12.3% increase from the previous year. Overseas sales alone reached 1.071 million units, growing 3.1% year-over-year, reflecting ongoing expansion and sustained global popularity.
MG continues to play a vital role in expanding its customer base and driving growth in key strategic markets including Europe, India, and the ASEAN region. Particularly notable is the European market, where MG achieved sales over 300,000 units, nearly a 30% rise, underscoring growing acceptance of Chinese vehicles in one of the world's most competitive markets. Meanwhile, in India, sales totaled 70,000 units, a 17.8% increase, pushing MG's global cumulative sales beyond 6 million units.
This success aligns with the GLOCAL strategy adopted by SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION, which integrates Global and Local approaches to elevate international business from mere product exports to building a comprehensive and sustainable automotive ecosystem.
MG is the flagship brand implementing this vision and strategy across multiple countries, including Thailand. This enables effective development of products, technology, and services tailored to local consumer needs, fostering sustainable long-term growth.
Another notable achievement for SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION last year was its new energy vehicle (NEV) segment, which sold over 1.643 million units, a 33.1% increase from the prior year, setting a new record. MG has been instrumental in promoting NEV technology globally, especially with the NEW MG4 ELECTRIC, a leading electric vehicle that has performed well in several markets.
Mr. Da Shen Shen, Managing Director of SAIC Motor-CP Co., Ltd., stated that in Thailand, MG's combined domestic sales and exports reached 35,872 units in 2025, growing 44% year-on-year. These figures demonstrate MG's strong position in the Thai automotive market and highlight Thailand's role as a key strategic market for the brand within ASEAN.
Regarding production, MG has fully met the EV 3.0 policy requirements for electric vehicle support since December, demonstrating readiness in manufacturing and business operations aligned with government policies, and reinforcing MG's status as a leading player in Thailand's electric and new energy vehicle market.
Mr. Da Shen Shen added that the 2025 results prove SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION's strong global capabilities, especially MG's central role in driving growth in overseas and ASEAN markets under the GLOCAL strategy, which combines global strengths with deep local market understanding. Currently, MG vehicles are sold in over 170 countries worldwide, reflecting international consumer acceptance and the brand's stability as a global automotive industry player.
In Thailand, MG is not just a sales market but a strategic hub for brand development, production investment, and ongoing promotion of new energy vehicles. The sales success last year and full compliance with the government's EV 3.0 policy highlight MG's preparedness, responsibility, and commitment to sustainable growth alongside Thailand's automotive industry.
Looking ahead to 2026, SAIC MOTOR CORPORATION and MG plan to continue expanding their business, focusing on developing electric vehicle technology and intelligent mobility systems to align with global automotive industry trends, strengthening MG's role as a core brand driving the group's sustainable growth in both Thailand and global markets.
