MG’s HS large SUV has taken the lead in the UK sales charts for January, as revealed in the latest SMMT vehicle sales data.

MG’s HS large SUV range topped the UK sales charts in the first month of 2023

The large SUV model, available in petrol or PHEV specification, topped the UK sales charts in the first month of 2023 with 3,481 examples, giving a total market share of 2.6%.

The MG ZS was named as another best seller, with the compact SUV model coming in as the UK’s 8th best-selling car.

MG, which has signed up as a partner for Fleet World’s Great British Fleet Event this April, also saw overall sales grow by more than 108% compared with January 2022, with total UK vehicle sales of 7,433 cars.

It follows record-breaking sales results in 2022 where the company was recognised as the fastest growing mainstream vehicle brand for a second consecutive year.

Other popular models in the MG line-up include the recently launched MG4 and MG5 electric vehicles.

“We’re thrilled to see two of our best-selling models featured in the overall UK top ten,” said Guy Pigounakis, commercial director at MG Motor UK. “The HS model has been hugely important in the growth of MG over the last few years, and we’re delighted it remains so popular with customers. The growth in the electric car market is also very encouraging and we expect the recently launched MG4 EV and MG5 EV models to carry us further forward into 2023.”

Visitors to the Great British Fleet Event can find out more about the MG range, including its electric vehicles and its work to help more drivers than ever switch to zero-emission motoring.

The event takes place on 25 April 2023 in Milton Keynes. Full details and registrations for free tickets are available here.
