Looks like MG is truly set for a proper return in the coming few months. And they will be returning with 2 offerings, the 2020 MG HS C-segment SUV and the 2020 MG ZS EV, a fully-electric SUV option. We’ve previously reported that the MG HS SUV was spotted reporting for approval review at the Road Transport Department (JPJ). Now both cars are spotted parked in front of Berjaya Time Square and looking as if it is a public preview of the car. The return of the MG brand to Malaysia has been a long t

It’s no surprise that MG will be returning to Malaysia – the C-segment MG HS and MG ZS EV have been caught several times on Malaysian soil. The missing piece to this puzzle was the origins of MG vehicles, would they be imported (CBU) from MG’s plant in Thailand or locally-assembled (CKD)? While younger readers may not have heard of the MG marque before, it does have an interesting history. Short for Morris Garages, MG was founded in 1924 in Oxford, England.

While the rest of the world is singing praises on how the MG HS has a front that reminds them of the Mazda CX-5, in China, there is a new facelift for the rival to the Proton X70 and Honda CR-V. It also has a new name too. Unlike most of MG’s line-up which uses either numbers or a series of letters for their naming scheme, the facelifted MG HS is given a Chinese name, the Linghang. In Mandarin, the name means pilot but it could also mean captain, skipper, or aviator. However, this new name might

Merely two years after it was unveiled, MG Thailand decided to give its sole pick-up model a facelift. In a market where the pick-up truck is literally king, it probably makes sense for the MG Extender to be given a facelift in such a short timeframe to boost interest. The MG Extender saw poor sales ever since it was introduced in 2019. Up until last year, MG sold around 5,800 units of the Extender – a large contrast to the six figures its major competitors have in the past two years. Also read:
