SAIC Motor, the parent company of MG Motor, has been ranked 138th on the 2025 Fortune Global 500 list, achieving USD 87.2 billion in revenue during 2024. This marks its 21st straight year on the list, highlighting its sustained global presence and strong market performance, including in the Middle East.
As the only Chinese carmaker to exceed sales of 1 million NEVs and 1 million overseas units annually for three years running, SAIC’s achievements have boosted MG’s standing in the region. Since its re-entry into the Middle East in 2015, MG has quickly climbed into the GCC’s top five carmakers, with parallel growth in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Morocco.
Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said: “This global milestone reflects the strong foundations that support MG Motor globally and regionally. SAIC’s backing is key to reinforcing MG’s commitment to bring innovation, value, and a premium ownership experience to customers across the Middle East.”
In H1 2025, SAIC delivered 2.2 million units globally, including more than 1.3 million from its proprietary brands such as MG. The company sold 646,000 NEVs and 494,000 vehicles overseas despite global challenges. MG recorded 39,623 units sold in the Middle East during the same timeframe.
Demand for technologically advanced, value-focused vehicles continues to drive MG’s regional performance. Models including the MG RX9, MG 7, and MG HS are popular with customers, bolstered by a dependable dealership and aftersales network.
Over the next three years, SAIC aims to introduce 17 new models worldwide, with many destined for the Middle East, spanning SUV, sedan, and NEV offerings.
With more than 6 million overseas sales and representation in 170+ countries, SAIC’s global strength underpins MG’s progress in the Middle East, building long-term trust and supporting the shift towards smarter, cleaner transport.
