MG Motors, owned by SAIC, is making a significant leap in its global expansion journey by establishing a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Egypt.

MG’s decision to invest $135 million in a factory in Egypt’s New October City highlights its ambition to enhance its market presence in Europe and Africa. With production set to begin in Q2 of 2026, this move aligns with MG’s strategy to diversify its manufacturing footprint. The Egyptian plant’s proximity to key markets offers logistical advantages and opens doors to new opportunities.

The plant will initially produce 50,000 vehicles annually, with plans to scale up to 100,000 units. The first model, the facelifted MG5, will roll out featuring enhanced design and advanced technology. The facility will also create around 10,000 direct and indirect jobs, boosting Egypt’s industrial sector while solidifying MG’s global ambitions.

Spanning 126,000 square meters, the factory will house cutting-edge facilities, including an 8,000-square-meter body shop, a sophisticated paint shop, and dedicated assembly and administrative areas. Designed as part of Egypt’s “fourth-generation cities,” the plant exemplifies modern industrial planning and innovation.

MG’s focus on sustainable production is evident in its plans to manufacture new energy vehicles alongside SUVs in future phases. The facility’s emphasis on advanced technology and flexibility ensures it will remain competitive in an evolving automotive landscape.

MG Motors’ Egyptian plant represents more than just a manufacturing hub—it’s a bold step toward reshaping its global footprint and tapping into dynamic markets. With plans to expand into Europe and Africa, MG is gearing up to set new benchmarks in accessibility, innovation, and sustainability.
