MG best-ever August sales, continues to buck market trends

The news comes as MG strengthens its position as the only mainstream car brand to see its volume increase in a car market that is down almost 40 per cent on the back of challenging market conditions due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Year-to-date, MG's sales have increased by 32.3% versus the same period in 2019, with a market share of 1.2%, with the ZS EV driving volume and becoming the fourth strongest selling fully electric car in the UK.

Daniel Gregorious, Head of Sales & Marketing at MG Motor UK said "We're delighted with our August figures as we managed to buck the market trend and deliver a record monthly sales result once again. This proves just how popular MG's latest models – and in particular our EVs - are becoming and how hard our dealer network is working to deliver great value matched by excellent customer service. We're now aiming for our best ever September as the new '70' registration plates bring more customers into the market."

MG currently has a network of 112 dealers with further expansion planned before the end of 2020.
