The popularity of the UK’s fastest-growing car brand shows no signs of slowing down as MG Motor gears up to increase its network to at least 130 dealers by the end of 2021.

With a range now encompassing six models and a rapidly growing reputation for offering affordable EVs for everyone, the brand has seen 28 new sites join its network in the past 12 months.

Most recently Glyn Hopkin in Milton Keynes, St Albans and Cambridge, Perrys in Huddersfield, JCT600 in Bradford, Read Motor Group of Grimsby, Drive in Bristol, Hawkins of Hayle, Tunbridge Wells MG and Masters in Croydon have joined the network, expanding the presence of MG in areas of increasing demand.

The dealer network now stands at 120 sites, with at least a further 10 scheduled to open in 2021 as the popularity of MG increases ever further.

MG Motor’s Commercial Director, Guy Pigounakis, said: “Our dealer network is expanding on the back of a record year in which we saw our market share break the crucial 1% barrier and our sales volumes increase by 41%, massively outperforming the market and finishing the year with volumes on a par with some much more established rivals.

“But this doesn’t surprise us. The MG range is perfect for our times – great value cars that are great to drive, packed with technology and backed by a 7-year warranty. MG is also the definitive leader in affordable electric motoring and encapsulates the idea of electric for everyone, something that our dealers – and our customers – can’t get enough of.”

MG currently offers six models in the UK including three plug-in cars – the established MG ZS EV, the game-changing All New MG5 EV and MG HS Plug-in, all backed up by MG’s incredible 7 year warranty and fast-developing dealer network.
