SAIC Motors’ MG Set To Build A Production Line In Mexico

The MG brand name has been in the hands of the Chinese SAIC Motor for years. Although SAIC Motor kept the English factory in Longbridge in use for years, no MGs have been rolling off the production line there since 2016. SAIC Motor mainly produces MGs in its home country of China, but models are also built in Thailand and India for the local market. There are plans on the table to set up a production facility in Europe as well, and it is now clear that an MG factory will also be located in Mexico.

MG does not only want to produce cars in Mexico but also wants to develop technology there. It is also setting up an R&D centre there, where it wants to develop technology focused on the local market. When the factory will be built and put into use is not yet known.
