MG Motor Enters New Market Signing Distribution Agreement With Jameel Motors for Morocco

As MG Motor continues to break records across the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) Region, it further grows its operations with confirmation that it will launch in Morocco in March 2023. The official announcement, which makes Morocco the brand’s 10^th regional market, comes after MG Motor signed a distribution agreement with highly respected, privately owned, and globally diversified business Abdul Latif Jameel under the new brand ‘Jameel Motors’.

The new MG Motor in Morocco will seek to build on the brand’s reputation, customer perception and trust and gain customer confidence by showcasing its popular vehicle line-up’s high-quality products and features.

Abdul Latif Jameel is the perfect business partner to manage the distribution business for MG Motor’s automotive brand. It brings nearly 70 years of international – and award-winning – automotive operations experience in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Jameel Motors aims to offer comprehensive amenities for customers of the revitalised MG brand. As part of its all-inclusive, customer-centric business model, Jameel Motors will manage new car sales, aftersales servicing and certified pre-owned sales.

Moroccan car buyers will now be able to familiarise themselves with the British-born brand’s award-winning line-up of products and services. In addition, customers can access a dedicated team of MG sales and aftersales specialists, as well as one of the best-in-region manufacturer warranties of six years or 200,000 Km.

With an eye on Morocco’s continuing green transition and MG’s future product strategy, the starting line-up of vehicles available at launch will focus on electric vehicles (EV), as well as plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) vehicles, giving customers the option to choose from models such as the MG ZS EV, the MG 4 Full Electric and the MG HS PHEV.

Conventional combustion engine models such as the MG ZS and MG HS SUVs, as well as the MG 5 and MG 3 sedans, will also be available for customers from March 2023 in the first showroom in Casablanca.

Tom Lee, Managing Director at MG Motor Middle East, commented: “It brings me great pride and confidence to work with such a successful and established business partner as Abdul Latif Jameel.  Morocco holds so much potential for MG Motor. Expanding into the North African market will help us build on the extraordinary growth we have enjoyed across the region over recent years. With their calibre of expertise, a reputable distributor such as Abdul Latif Jameel will allow us to implement a solid business plan for the vision we have for the MG brand in the country. As the automotive market is rapidly shifting to New Energy Vehicles, we are working to ensure our customers are provided with a range of fully and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to suit their needs.”

Fady Jameel, Deputy President and Vice Chairman Abdul Latif Jameel, said: “This distribution agreement reinforces our deep commitment to expanding our business and product offering to our customers in Morocco, which is a key market for us. Working with leaders in the electric vehicle market, such as MG Motor, illustrates our dedication to working with solution-orientated innovators in the transition towards a more sustainable future.”

Worldwide, MG has been performing exceptionally well against other tier-1 automotive brands. In 2022, SAIC Motor‘s overseas sales hit a record high of 1.01 million units, a solid year-on-year 45.9% increase. Europe is one of many overseas markets for SAIC Motor, which has sold more than 100,000 vehicles. The MG brand has ranked among the top 10 brands in many other regions, such as the Middle East, South America, Australia and Asia.

MG Motor will offer the best MG products and services to its Moroccan customers as it positions itself as a leading volume brand with a competitive pricing strategy.

MG Motor Middle East operations are already active in nine other countries: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Bahrain, Jordan, Lebanon and Oman. The brand has enjoyed extraordinary success in the region – it registered sales of 57,506 units in 2022, an increase of around 40 per cent compared to the previous year.
