The 10 best-selling models from January to September in Mexico
MG arrived in Mexico in October 2022, when the Covid-19 pandemic caused car sales to plummet in our country and around the world.
The English brand, now owned by the Chinese multinational SIAC Motor, landed in the country in October 2020 with three models: the aforementioned MG5, MG ZS SUV and MG HS compact SUV. In these two years, it added two more models to its offer, such as the MG GT sports sedan and the RX8 pickup.
One of the reasons for its extensive growth is its aggressive sales strategy. The low prices (an SUV under 400,000 pesos), a seven-year powertrain warranty, the first seven free services, and some premium features like sunroofs and turbo engines.
