MG Motor is turning the tide in the Philippine automotive landscape, building strong momentum through its expanding customer base, competitive vehicle offerings, and growing nationwide presence. Despite a competitive automotive environment, MG retained its position as the country’s 8th best-selling automotive brand based on CAMPI industry sales data during the first half of 2026.
The company recorded 868 units sold in June, bringing total first-half sales to 4,232 units. Sales were led by MG’s SUV lineup with 1,810 units sold, followed closely by its passenger car range with 1,676 units. The MG5 remained the company’s best-selling model with 1,215 units sold, followed by the MG ZS with 1,040 units. The MG HS Hybrid+ also remained a popular choice among customers seeking more efficient vehicles, recording 533 units during the first half of the year.
The introduction of the MG G50 PHEV, MG HS PHEV, MG RX9 PHEV, and MG4 Urban EV has further reinforced MG’s NEV lineup. Since their launch, the new models have been met with strong market reception, with reservations continuing to grow as more customers embrace practical, technology-driven, and fuel-efficient vehicles.
This positive response underscores broader industry trends in the Philippines, where more motorists are turning to hybrid and electric vehicles that offer improved efficiency, sustainability, and everyday practicality. As MG expands its product portfolio and dealer network nationwide, the company remains well-positioned to support the country’s transition toward cleaner mobility through innovative and globally competitive products.
“We are encouraged by the growing confidence that Filipino motorists continue to place in the MG brand,” said Wei Wei Zhang, President of MG Motor Philippines. “Maintaining our position among the country’s top automotive brands while expanding our New Energy Vehicle lineup reflects the strength of our product portfolio, dealer network, and customer-focused approach. This local momentum is aligned with the broader success of SAIC Motor globally, where increasing demand for intelligent and electrified mobility solutions continues to drive strong growth across international markets. As we move forward, we remain committed to making innovative and globally competitive mobility solutions more accessible to Filipino motorists.”
MG’s strong performance in the Philippines mirrors the continued growth being achieved by parent company SAIC Motor across global markets, particularly in the areas of New Energy Vehicles and international expansion.
SAIC Motor sustained its strong momentum in 2026, reporting 395,000 vehicle sales in June and cumulative sales of 2.045 million units during the first half of the year. The milestone makes SAIC Motor the first Chinese automaker to surpass the two-million-unit mark in H1 2026, reinforcing its standing as one of China’s leading automotive manufacturers while highlighting growing global demand for its intelligent and electrified mobility solutions.
A key driver behind these results was the expansion of New Energy Vehicle (NEV) sales. In June alone, SAIC Motor sold 201,000 NEVs, up 66.6% year-on-year. From January to June, cumulative NEV sales reached 796,000 units, representing 23.1% year-on-year growth. MG also played a significant role, with deliveries of the MG4 family exceeding 18,000 units in June, marking its ninth consecutive month of surpassing 10,000 monthly sales.
Beyond its NEV business, SAIC Motor’s international operations remained a major growth driver. Overseas sales reached 146,000 units in June, bringing cumulative first-half overseas sales to 735,000 units, up 48.7% year-on-year. Through its Glocal Strategy, SAIC Motor accelerates localized operations, products, and ecosystems across key international markets.
MG likewise reinforced its presence internationally. In Europe, the brand retained its title as the best-selling Chinese automotive marque for the 11th consecutive year, selling more than 190,000 vehicles during the first half of 2026, an increase of more than 20% year-on-year. MG also recorded robust sales in key markets including the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Romania.
Building on a strong first half of 2026, MG Motor Philippines remains committed to supporting SAIC Motor’s global vision by introducing innovative products, broadening customer access to advanced technologies, and helping accelerate the adoption of NEVs across the Philippine market.
