MG Motor Middle East Sets New Sales Records with over 70,000 Cars Sold in 2024

MG Motor Middle East had a record-breaking 2024, delivering 70,033 vehicles across the GCC, Levant, and Morocco, highlighting the British-born brand's continued rise as one of the region's leading automotive manufacturers. This milestone mirrored the brand's parent company, SAIC Motor, which reported terminal deliveries of 4.639 million units worldwide and record New Energy Vehicle (NEV) sales.

Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates all performed well, contributing to the strong regional results. Leading the charge, the Kingdom sold 24,500MG, reinforcing its position as a key market. The appointment of Jiad Modern Motors, a subsidiary of the Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Company, as MG's new distributor in Saudi Arabia solidified the brand's long-term commitment to the country. Meanwhile, the UAE followed with 12,900 sales, a 29% increase from 2023. MG saw a 10% increase in overall sales across the GCC, highlighting its successful formula of stylish design, advanced safety features, and excellent value for money.

SAIC Motor's strategy of deepening reform and accelerating technological innovation drives MG's rapid growth. The company made significant progress in NEV development while also advancing its "Seven Technological Pillars," which strengthened its global R&D footprint. The introduction of seven new models in the region over the last year, catering to a wide range of consumer preferences, has been a key driver of MG's success there. These include internal combustion engine vehicles like the MG Whale, MG3, MG5, MG 7, and RX9, as well as innovative electric models like the Cyberster and MG4 Electric. MG continues to deliver cutting-edge vehicles tailored to Middle Eastern markets, combining innovation, performance, and value.

SAIC Motor, the parent company, increased sales for six months in a row in the second half of 2024. SAIC's self-owned brands, including MG, contributed 2.408 million units this year. This collaboration benefits MG Middle East by providing increased access to advanced platforms as well as emerging EV and hybrid technologies, which remain a priority for the region's future mobility needs. 

MG Motor Middle East's Managing Director, Tom Lee, stated, "These latest results underscore our long-term commitment to providing high-quality vehicles and exceptional service to Middle Eastern customers." Saudi Arabia and the UAE, in particular, have been critical to our success, demonstrating a strong preference for MG's blend of modern design, advanced safety, and value. On a global scale, SAIC Motor's innovation and reform strategy has given us the tools to adapt quickly in a competitive market."

A key component of MG's growth has been its emphasis on customer satisfaction, which includes maintaining a comprehensive parts supply chain and cultivating a strong distributor network. In 2024, the brand opened new showrooms and service centers throughout the Middle East, streamlining aftersales support for a rapidly expanding customer base. MG strengthened its commitment to providing seamless service by opening a second spare parts warehouse in Jeddah. The new facility, which measures 5,260 square meters, improves efficiency and ensures faster delivery of critical components throughout the region. Looking ahead, the brand's top priorities remain strategic collaborations, investments in local workforce training, and NEV technology rollouts.

As MG Motor Middle East prepares for 2025, the company remains committed to bridging the gap between tradition and modernity, honouring its British heritage while embracing cutting-edge innovation.
