MG Motor returns to Irish market

MG Motor is returning to the Irish market, with a range of plug-in models. Domestic operations will be handled by Irish distributor Frank Keane Group.

The MG electric brand includes the MG ZS EV, which will offer the same length seven-year warranty as MGs in the UK.

The first MG ZS EVs will arrive in Ireland this month, followed by the MG5 EV, which is a C-segment wagon and MG HS Plug-in, a C-segment hybrid SUV.

Billy Riordan, CEO of the Frank Keane Group, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be getting involved with MG as their Irish partner. It is a really exciting time for this growing brand which has such a rich history.”

Gerard Rice, managing director, MG Motor Ireland, said: “We are excited to be appointed as the distributor partner for MG Motor in Ireland for their range of electric vehicles. MG is the fastest growing mainstream car brand in the UK in 2020, and is growing rapidly across Europe with sales in full flow in Norway, Denmark, France, Belgium and Austria. Other markets including Malta, Spain, Portugal and Italy will open very soon. We are currently working hard to select the MG Motor retailers for the Irish market to join us on this exciting and electric journey.”
