PRESS RELEASE - MG announces more pop up dealerships

• MG launches further pop up dealerships, located at Touchwood Shopping Centre, Solihull and Kingfisher Shopping Centre, Redditch


• MG is UK’s fastest growing automotive brand for eight months running according to SMMT

MG are expanding the Midland’s based manufacturer’s pop up dealership residency with a move into Touchwood Shopping Centre in Solihull, Birmingham from 15-17 September, and Kingfisher Shopping Centre, Redditch from 15-28 September. The additional pop up dealerships follow on from the success of the flagship pop up in Westfield Merry Hill, which has now been running for nearly a year.



Touchwood Shopping Centre, based in the centre of Solihull, West Midlands, is an award winning, 650,000 square foot shopping destination. Opened in 2001, Touchwood boasts over 80 stores, including the only John Lewis department store in the West Midlands, 20 restaurants and a nine screen Cineworld cinema. The MG display will be located in the Map room of the centre, between Gap and Zara.



Kingfisher Shopping Centre opened in 1976 and hosts 160 stores; the centre is well known for its large mosaic panels, designed by famous Scottish artist, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, which are the largest publically commissioned work of art in the country, valued at several million pounds. The MG stand will be located in Millward Square next to the famous mosaics.



The expansion to the pop up dealership network follows on from dramatic growth for the automotive manufacturer’s main dealer and after sales network – with 50 dealers, and 13 after sales centres now appointed within the UK – and MG’s year-long pop-up dealership residency at one of the UK’s most successful shopping centres, Westfield Merry Hill. All three pop up displays will feature the new MG3 and the award winning MG6; available in both GT fastback and Magnette sports saloon variants. The displays will allow prospective customers to see the product line in the flesh and to talk to fully trained MG Sales Executives.



MG has once again topped the list for growth within the automotive industry, as the Midland’s based manufacturer has been named the fastest growing automotive brand in the UK by SMMT every month so far in 2014, the iconic marque’s 90th anniversary year. MG’s parent company, SAIC Motor, recently entered the Global Fortune top 100 with the company’s tenth appearance in the annual Fortune 500 list, moving up 18 places from last year’s result to reach 85th position, with 2013 yearly sales revenues of $92 billion. MG’s rapidly expanding dealer network now exceeds 50 dealers, with just under 50 per cent of UK households now within a 30 minute drive of an MG dealer. This growth is set to continue with the aim of 100 retailers expected by the end of 2015.



Success has been due to the recent launch of the MG3 supermini and expansion of the MG6 diesel powertrain family, with a new 129g, 350 Nm performance diesel recently added. Voted by customers as the winner of Best Handling and sixth overall Best Car to Own in the 2014 Auto Express Driver Power Awards, the MG6 is already a favourite with MG owners for its drivability, affordability and exceptionally high levels of equipment included as standard. Now the MG6 is even more appealing as all specifications are available from just £15,455 to £19,995, and with the current ‘High 5’ offer, MG6 customers can buy and drive away with five years of complete peace of mind.



Launched in September 2013, the MG3 benefits from an ultra low 4E insurance group, strong residuals of up to 61 per cent, exceptional interior and boot space, class leading chassis and driving dynamics and high levels of equipment on all specifications as standard. There are also over one million personalisation options and exceptional value for money aftercare packages to choose from. The MG3 is priced from only £8,399 to £9,999, or from zero percent deposit PCP from only £99 a month or from zero deposits.
