In addition, the multi-purpose MG ZS, the first smart-SUV in the world, comes equipped with an innovative i-SMART system that features the world’s first Thai language-enabled voice command. With 7,565 units sold it secured its position, for the second quarter in a row, as the number one bestseller in the B-SUV and SUV segment.

Mr. Pongsak Lertrudeewattanawong, Vice-President of MG Sales (Thailand) Co. Ltd. said: “MG’s continuous sales growth is testament to our commitment and determination to delivering the best for our customers in terms of quality, safety and innovative technology. The MG ZS is equipped with functionality, outstanding modern sport-luxury design and a spacious interior that truly makes it a multi-purpose, smart-SUV for today’s modern society. This, combined with its intelligent i-SMART system with the world’s first Thai language-enabled voice command and its affordable pricing makes it a hit amongst consumers. Recently, MG launched the ALL NEW MG3 colourful hatchback under the concept “WE ARE FUN”, which encourage drivers to have fun on every journey. The ALL NEW MG3 has been re-designed with a modern-sport outlook, combined with updated functions and the new intelligent i-SMART system that features a savvy navigation system that can provide recommendations for restaurants, cafes and accommodation; as well as a new online music system that truly caters to the lifestyle of the new generation in the IoT era.

As well as offering quality products, MG continually strives to better its after sales services, with plans to expand its current base of 83 dealerships to120 dealerships and car service centers very soon.
