MG Motor reports record month
MG Motor is celebrating its best-ever month in the UK, having racked up 3,668 sales in September 2020 – an increase of 169% compared with the same month in 2019.
With car sales across the UK down by a third year-on-year, MG’s September result sees the brand’s sales up by 52.1% year-on-year at 14,228 cars, with almost a third of the volume attributed to the zero-emissions MG ZS EV.
The company also broke its annual sales record in September with the 13,076th MG of 2020, taking the brand over its 2019 sales total with more than a quarter of the year left to go.
Daniel Gregorious, head of sales and marketing at MG Motor UK said: “September was a staggeringly good month for MG in the UK. Firstly, we achieved our biggest ever sales month. In fact, our September result was almost 1,000 sales higher than our previous record month, March 2020.
“Secondly, within that record total, we sold 1,176 MG ZS EVs, meaning that almost one in three of the cars we sold were zero-emissions electric cars. And thirdly, almost every MG dealer has sold more new cars so far this year than they did in the same period in 2019, an incredible result given that our showrooms were closed for almost three months.”
