MG GT

The MG GT is a compact saloon produced by SAIC Motor under the MG marque from 2014 to 2019. MG introduced it in July 2014 as a three-box version of the MG 5 hatchback with its own body styling, aggressively shaped headlights and a roofline sloping to the rear under a one-piece strip of lights across the whole body. Inside, a large central console carried a multimedia screen with an infotainment system and 3G, internet and satellite television connectivity. The car launched with a 1.4 litre four-cylinder petrol engine of 154 horsepower, and in 2015 two 1.5 litre units followed, one of 109 horsepower and a turbocharged one of 129 horsepower. It was built with the Chinese market in mind, where sales began in November 2014, while sales and production in Thailand began in 2015 under the name MG 5 and the car was exported to Chile in 2016. Production ended in the first half of 2019. The name returned for a second-generation GT, a rebadged second-generation MG 5 for the Middle East, Latin America and the Philippines.
