It has been an exciting 2019 for MG Philippines as the British heritage car brand was introduced to the local motoring public with a grand entrance. Through engaging marketing campaigns, aggressive sales promotions and reliable aftersales complements, MG Philippines has been present on the radars of many Filipinos looking for a stylish, safe, modern, attainable, car with a rich motoring history behind it.

The best qualities of modern MG — easy and fun-to-drive, comfortable interiors, packed with modern driver and passenger safety accoutrements, and with designs that are very easy on the eyes — were put on display at the MG Media Getaway. Powered by Phoenix Pulse Technology, the milestone occasion was the brand’s first media ride-and-drive event in the country and a perfect punctuation mark to end its year with a bang.

The MG Media Getaway brought about a dozen Filipino motoring journalists to a 270-kilometer drive from MG EDSA Centris to the idyllic surfing town of Baler, Aurora. This demonstrated the durability and reliability of MGs on various road conditions, ample legroom, headroom and luggage space. Not to mention unmatched comfort and driver ease over extended periods of driving.

On hand for the journey was the brand’s full lineup, including the popular MG ZS Crossover SUV, the head-turning and zippy MG 6 Fastback Sedan, the spacious and powerful RX5 SUV and the brand’s latest offering: the MG 5 sedan, which leads its class in dimensions and in specs. All four vehicles were launched during MG’s inaugural year in the country, and it was only fitting to have all available for testing.

The marque’s vehicles are aggressively priced, with the most attainable MG5 1.5L MT, coming in at only P658, 888. That is not saying, however, that these low price points mean these MG cars are bare-boned.

Depending on the spec-level, modern MG’s are equipped with class-leading features, including: touch screen infotainment systems, 360-degree camera view, panoramic sunroof, automatic LED headlights, traction control and hill start assist just to name a few.

These great products are likewise supplemented by MG Philippines’ premium aftersales offers and services. These include a five-year or 100,000km warranty (whichever comes first) on all brand new MG cars and one-year free periodic maintenance service to set your mind at ease.

Aside from that, MG owners can also download the My MG mobile app which allows them to easily schedule vehicle servicing appointments from the convenience of their smartphones.

They can also use the app to book a visit from MG Philippines’ Mobile Garage service caravan that provides MG owners with vehicle home service for major technical issues.

MG HERO Services, on the other hand, provides 24/7 roadside support through the MG Philippines hotline (+632 5328-4664).

Once in Baler, the delegation touched down at L’Sirene Boutique Resort — a quiet enclave away from the very popular (and populated) Sabang Beach, perfect for relaxing moments yet still within proximity of the famous surfing waves of Baler. After a soothing afternoon on the beach, a night of lively socials and an invigorating beach sunrise, the group was re-energized for the drive home.

2020 is going to be another exciting year for MG Philippines, with its nationwide dealership network set to expand even further. Under The Covenant Car Co. Inc., it’s safe to say that MG Philippines is set to make an even bigger splash in the coming year.
