MG GS

The MG GS is a compact sports utility vehicle built by MG Motor in China and the first SUV the company produced there. It was launched at the Auto Shanghai Motor Show in April 2015 and closely resembles the MG CS Concept shown at the same show in 2013. Its design was directed by Anthony Williams-Kenny in a collaboration between the Shanghai and Longbridge development centres. The GS reached the United Kingdom in May 2016, when it was shown at the London Motor Show, with sales beginning later that year, and it is assembled in Lingang, Shanghai. A revised version with new bumpers and an updated interior came out in 2017 for the Chinese market. Two turbocharged petrol engines were offered first, a 1.5 litre CUBE-TEC unit of 125 kW and a 2.0 litre unit of 162 kW that is not sold in the United Kingdom. The car sits on a scalable SUV platform developed with SAIC Motor and shared with the Roewe RX5, in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive form.
