February 8, 2016 by MG Motor UK Limited

MG Motor UK is celebrating a great start to 2016 with a 132% increase on January sales after 313 vehicles were registered last month.

Figures released today from The Society of Motoring Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) shows that last year MG sold 135 cars in January. This year, due to growing awareness in the brand and a range of great deals, the manufacturer has seen a percentage change of 131.85%.

In December, popular offers such as the £2,000 minimum part-exchange contributed to MG finishing the year with a surge in sales. The offer was continued for another month and finished on 31st January.

Matthew Cheyne, MG's Head of Sales and Marketing said, 'We are thrilled to see that our great offers have contributed to so many more people choosing an MG. We hope that through raising awareness of the new brand, through deals like this, we will continue to see this figure rise and next year we will be celebrating another incredible increase.

'For the remainder of the first quarter of the year we've got some great deals running including 0% finance, free insurance, a reward for taking a test drive, as well as a Hilton Hotel voucher to enjoy a nice break away. So, pop into your local MG dealership and take advantage of these great offers.'

Two cars currently come off the Longbridge assembly lines: the MG6 and the MG3 with several models planned for the immediate and longer-term future.

The MG6 is a medium-sized fastback offering fantastic dynamic handling, high levels of interior comfort and a tremendously spacious cabin area with a cavernous boot. The MG6 won the category '£17,500 and under' in the Caravan Club Towcar of the Year Awards in 2015. It also won the 2014 Auto Express Driver Power Best Handling Award.

The MG3 is a new generation supermini which brings fun and style to this sector of the market at very affordable prices. The 1.5-litre petrol-powered car can also be personalised, so owners have the option of giving their car their own style-statement.

MG was voted the fourth best manufacturer in the UK in the Auto Express Driver Power Awards in 2015. MG was the fastest growing brand in Britain in 2014 as shown by official figures issued by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
