First drive: 2018 MG RX5 and MG ZS in Oman
Believe it or not, China’s state-owned SAIC is actually one of the biggest carmakers in the world, as they are wildly successful in their fast-growing home market. About a decade ago, they purchased MG Rover, turning the once-British maker of family cars, sports sedans and iconic sports cars into a mainstream maker of, well, family cars. MG’s first crossover was the GS, launched in the GCC a couple of years ago. They’ve now added to the portfolio with the RX5 and the ZS, both compact crossovers roughly the same size as the existing GS.

The new MG RX5 compact crossover was revealed at this year’s Saudi International Motor Show, marking the latest entry in the Chino-British brand’s march towards relevance in the mainstream GCC market.
2018 MG 360 debuts in UAE and GCC
Chinese-British automotive brand MG has announced the launch of the new MG 360 in the Middle East, apparently the first region in the world to get this new model after China where it is known as the Roewe 360.
So we got a 2017 MG GS 4WD
Morris Garages, the well-known (in Europe at least) British brand that’s best known for making little sports cars back in the day and hopped-up Rover-based sedans most recently before they shut shop. The brand eventually became a part of China’s SAIC, and they’ve launched their own steady stream of economy cars since then, culminating in the brand’s first crossover SUV — the MG GS.
2018 MG ZS crossover debuts, coming to UAE & GCC
MG has confirmed that the new MG ZS, which made its global debut at the recent 14th Guangzhou International Auto Exhibition, is set to arrive in the Middle East by late 2017. The new SUV introduces a new design language from MG that will form the corporate look of future models.

How often is it that cars enter the GCC market, get stereotyped, and go unnoticed? A classic example of that has to be the brand we call MG, a simple abbreviation for Morris Garages.
MG 350, MG 3 and MG 6 2012 launch at Dubai Motor Show
The “British” brand with a Chinese base, MG launched three new models at the 2011 Dubai Motor Show. On display alongside huge British flags were the MG 350, the MG 3 and the MG 6, joining the MG 550 and the MG 750 that debuted earlier this year in the UAE. If the naming convention confuses you, we haven’t figured it out either.
MG 550 and MG 750 launched in UAE
The MG brand has officially been launched in the UAE, at an event in Dubai. MG, or Morris Garages, was originally a sporty British brand under Rover before changing hands to become a part of SAIC, China’s largest carmaker. Chinese-built models at launch include the MG 550 and the MG 750, with the MG3, MG 350 and MG6 models set to join later.
