MG looks for more customers as it celebrates record sales

With record sales already achieved this year, MG has been busy launching new products to further boost its model line-up.

The MG 5 EV and HS plug-in have just gone on sale, joining the existing ZS EV to give the brand a trio of fleet-focused electrified models.

Geraint Isaac (pictured), national fleet sales manager at MG Motor UK, said at Virtual Fleet and Mobility Live 2020: “We have a momentum and growth plan which is built upon growing our volume organically – through our dealer network and new products – but we also target sales channels individually, so we focus on good solid fleet business, building strong foundation long-term business and that, obviously, protects our residual values.”

One of MG’s priorities is to grow its customer base.

It has already secured a place on the choice lists of some big organisations and is talking about supplying vehicles for their essential car users.

When looking at total cost of ownership, Isaac said the new MG 5 EV has lower wholelife costs than some comparable petrol and diesel products, making it ideal for fleets. 

The brand has secured strong supply volumes of all its EVs, meaning vehicles are available with short lead times. Issac also highlighted that as MG’s cars come from outside the EU, its future pricing will not be affected by the outcome of any EU trade deals.
