Record breaking market share for MG in July

•MG records best ever market share in July

•Sales up 30.6% to 2,411, giving a market share of almost 2%

•Year-to-date market share ahead of several established rivals

•New MG5 EV and established ZS EV take 8.9% of BEV market

MG Motor has achieved another best month for market share in July, taking nearly 2% of the UK car market – a record for the brand.

The company's year-to-date figures are now up a massive 67.5% in a market which has risen 24.7%. This means MG Motor has retained its position of the fastest growing mainstream brand in the industry and has overtaken well-known marques including Fiat, Mazda, Honda, Suzuki and Jaguar.

Much of this growth has been fed by demand for MG's acclaimed all-electric cars, including the new MG5 EV Long Range. This new model offers a 250-mile official WLTP range between charges and costs from £26,495 (after the government plug-in car grant has been deducted). This gives it the best miles per pound ratio of any electric car currently on sale.

MG Motor Commercial Director, Guy Pigounakis, said: 'MG's growth in July and year-to-date means we are really challenging the more established brands in the market. We are especially well-placed to feed the rapidly growing demand for low emission plug-in cars and are confident that this will continue throughout the second half of the year.'

MG currently offers six models in the UK including three plug-in cars – the MG ZS EV, MG5 EV and MG HS Plug-in Hybrid, all available from MG's fast-developing dealer network. It has over 130 sites already in the UK with more planned by the end of the year.
