SAIC Motor Philippines Inc. (SMPI), the official distributor of MG vehicles in the Philippines, announced a significant leadership transition. Felix Jiang, the pioneering President of SMPI, will be reassigned to MG Australia, while Wei Wei Zhang will assume the role of President of MG Philippines.
Felix Jiang has led SMPI for the past three years, playing a crucial role in establishing MG as a key player in the Philippine automotive market. Under his leadership, MG Philippines not only achieved record-breaking sales in 2024 and secured segment leadership in the 1.5-liter sedan category, but also maintained its position as a solid mainstay, consistently ranking among the top 10 automotive brands in the country. Additionally, the company introduced the widest product portfolio to date, encompassing petrol and diesel internal combustion engines, hybrids, and fully electric vehicles. His tenure has been marked by remarkable growth, innovative product launches, and a strengthened nationwide presence of the MG brand.
Wei Wei Zhang brings extensive regional experience to his new role. Previously serving as President of MG Indonesia and later as part of the ASEAN Partner Group at SAIC Motor’s Shanghai headquarters—overseeing all ASEAN markets—Zhang has been instrumental in driving growth and strategic initiatives across multiple Southeast Asian markets. His appointment is expected to build upon MG Philippines’ strong foundation and continue the brand’s momentum in the country’s competitive automotive landscape.

MG Philippines remains dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of vehicles—from ICE to hybrid and electric models—catering to the evolving needs of Filipino drivers.
