SAIC Motor, the parent company of MG’s official distributor in the Philippines, says it will focus on combining global innovation with deep local engagement by launching vehicles and services tailored to each regional market it serves.
Over the next three years, SAIC Motor will launch 17 all-new overseas models—SUVs, sedans, MPVs, and pickup trucks—all leveraging their technological expertise in electrification, intelligent connectivity, and vehicle networking. Some of these vehicles will be equipped with a next-generation HEV hybrid system which will be offered mainstream. Other innovations, like solid state batteries, are also on the way.
Currently, SAIC Motor is China’s largest vehicle exporter as it surpassed the 5.5-million cumulative overseas shipment mark as of the end of 2024. For eight consecutive years, SAIC Motor has ranked as China’s number one automotive exporter, with annual overseas sales exceeding 1 million units for three straight years. Notably, developed European markets now contribute 25 percent of its overseas volume.
SAIC Motor credits this with a shift from scale to value creation, and from product output to global standards. This means it will try to be a first-mover, particularly in the fields of electrified technology and intelligent driving.
In the Philippines, SAIC Motor is committed to understanding the needs of Filipino motorists. This first product launch is the all-new MG ZS compact crossover. A core model of MG in the Philippines, it will be launched on July 3 after its preview at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) last April.
This includes prioritizing a comprehensive aftersales experience that is accessible, reliable, and rooted in malasakit—a uniquely Filipino value of genuine care and compassion. At the same time, it will also actively expand its dealership network ensuring nationwide accessibility.
How's the aftersales service of Chinese automakers in the country so far?
