Anurag Shah, Nigeria’s General Manager for the brand, who
made the disclosure in a media statement, said plans were already in top gear
to assemble, distribute, sell and service certain MG models in the country.
“Stallion’s push for the MG Motor franchise was motivated by
the company’s 25 years experience as the nation’s leading quality automobile
sales and service provider, with a clear understanding of Nigerian’s taste for
quality vehicles.
“Moreover, as the disposable income of auto buyers dwindle
due to the COVID-induced global economic recession, we understand that
businesses and individuals require automobiles that combine durability with
affordability, which is what MG and Stallion are reputed for.”
Shah also revealed that MG models already lined up for
launch into the Nigerian market include: MG ZS, MG RX8, MG HS and MG T60
pick-up.
MG RX8, an extremely well-equipped 7-seater large-sized SUV,
is reputed for offering huge amount of space without breaking the bank. Built
on a strong truck chassis frame, RX8 comes with the capability to handle some
of the toughest off-road terrains in Nigeria.
One of the safest SUVs money can buy, the MG RX8 is equipped
with front, side and curtain airbags, front and rear sensors with 360-degree
camera, Active Rollover Protection and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
MG HS is a full-sized SUV, which has created a new
definition of affordable sports luxury for new car buyers in the United Kingdom
and Middle East & Levant.
Flaunting a sporty exterior and interior, MG HS is set to
offer Nigerian SUV lovers with ample space and comfort, coupled with a raised
driving position to sit head and shoulders above the rest.
In addition to other volume of safety features, the HS SUV
is equipped with a 360-degree camera as well as front & rear parking
sensors, heated mirrors, panoramic sunroof, 5-drive modes, multicolour ambient
lighting, all-led headlights, Lane Departure Assist and Blind Spot Assist,
resulting in an SUV that is as full of advanced features on the outside as it
is on the inside.
In addition, MG ZS is the brand’s compact SUV, which, from
all indications, is out to give existing Compact SUVs in the country a run for
their money.
Loaded with technology, the MG ZS features a unique and
striking exterior and interior. From the swept-back signature headlights
through to the sleek lines plus Diamond cut alloy wheels, every inch of the ZS
is crafted and considered.
MG T60 is the brand’s first ever pick-up truck known as a
reliable and versatile partner in the lightweight pickup category.
Designed to offer superior performance as a practical truck
made for cargo as well as personal transportation needs, T6 is available with
diesel and gasoline engines with 4X2 and 4X4 configurations.
“In addition to its trusted quality, MG models shall be
launched into the Nigerian market in line with the quality sales and
after-sales standard of MG and Stallion Motors, which include the availability
of original parts, long years warranty and after sales service centres
strategically located across the country,” Shah assured.
MG Motor is a British automotive company headquartered in
London, United Kingdom, and a subsidiary of SAIC Motor UK, which in turn is
owned by the Shanghai-based Chinese state-owned company, SAIC Motor.
MG Marque went through a change of ownership less than a
decade ago.
But this never changed the quality standard of the brand.
Till now, the engineering and styling designs of all modern
models of MG are majorly the responsibility of the brand’s design engineers
located at its Longbridge facilities in the United Kingdom, a center also
retained for Research and Development.
