As a long time admirer of the rejuvenated MG brand, MotorMartin enjoys seeing the companies new dealerships opening and increased sightings of the new MG3, MG6 and MG GS whilst out and about on the highways and byways of this green and pleasant land that we call home.
And so it comes as no real surprise to find out up here in the newsroom of MotorMartin Towers, that MG Motor UK has hit the 2,000 sales mark for 2016 despite new car demand levelling in July. A fantastic achievement.
MG Motor UK have informed MotorMartin that since the MG GS launched in June, customers have been flocking to dealerships and snapping up the latest addition even before the new registration plate in September and that sales of this affordable SUV have helped boost MG’s overall sales up by 15% from last year (year-to-date). It’s also no shock to MotorMartin that the stylish and super-fun supermini MG3 has also continued to make a contribution.
Trade association, The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), described 2016 as having a healthy start but the market is now showing signs of cooling. Despite this, MG Motor sold 305 units in July – which is a 28% increase on last year. The industry average for this month was 0.06% and MG’s year-to-date figure was five times more than the industry average of 2.82%.
MG Motor UK are in the very fortunate position that interest in the brand, an affordable line-up, and great deals are all contributing to the continued success of MG. The quarter three deals currently running are as follows and are well worth checking out in MotorMartin’s opinion*:
