British car company MG was founded in 1924 as Morris Garages. Following a somewhat turbulent few years moving between the likes of British Leyland and the Rover Group, MG is today owned by the Chinese SAIC Motor Corporation. And it’s once again one of the most admired brands in the world.
Key highlights
MG is, of course, famous for the iconic, incredible two-seater sports cars. With the exception of a few saloons and coupes that have been produced over the years, the classic MG has been the firm focus for the brand. In 2015, MG did make the shift to SUVs – especially as they entered the EV leasing market which is dominated by compact SUVs – but with a difference. The new cars exhibit the same traditional sporting background as the MG company, sparking an exciting new era for MG.
MG & electric car leasing
In 2020, MG released its very first fully electric car: the MG ZS, which was a battery-powered version of the already popular petrol-powered ZS. This marked the first time MG drivers could enjoy the MG compact SUV experience, with the same style and practicality – and absolutely zero carbon emissions.
Top models
Alongside the MG ZS, which is a top performer in the compact electric SUV market, MG is also known for the electric MG5 and MG4. The MG5 is an unusual sight in the EV world today. Unlike the ZS, it’s an aerodynamic estate car, giving customers a wider range of choice in terms of body and styling. The MG4 is the latest family hatchback from MG Motor UK and it’s already won a heap of awards and we can see why. With slick styling, an interior big enough for all the family, MG has found a sweet spot with the MG4.
Similar brands
MG is a brand like no other. However, if you’re unsure about leasing an MG electric car, Porsche is certainly another option to consider. Like MG, Porsche made a name for itself in the sports car arena before moving into SUVs, so there’s the same sort of sporty foundation in the latest Porsche lineup.
Alternatively, think about checking out some models from Hyundai or Kia. These brands offer an electric lineup similar to MG’s, with some saying they’ve acted as inspiration for MG’s newest cars.

The MG ZS is a fully electric compact SUV from the British-born, Chinese-owned MG brand. It’s not groundbreaking – it is, after all, a petrol-powered ZS that’s been given an electric makeover. However, it’s successfully taken everything that was great about the original (the space) and made it CO2-free.
