MG Motor has unveiled a range of ambitious future goals in New Zealand, including an all-new warranty offering, a new drive-away pricing strategy, and a new major sports partnership.

“MG Motor has worked very hard in Australia over the last two years to build its customer base from the ground up, and now it’s New Zealand’s turn to benefit,” said the CEO of MG Motor Australia and New Zealand, Peter Ciao.

“We are confident we can offer a solid foundation on which to build a new roadmap for success. I look forward to offering MG’s best-in-class offerings and award-winning cars to Kiwi motorists.”

The increased focus on New Zealand is the introduction of a new extended warranty and roadside assistance package, increasing the term from five to seven years.  

The programme will also feature the addition of warrant-of-fitness to the package, available across the same seven-year timeframe.

“From December 1, all new MG models available for sale in New Zealand will feature the new seven-year initiative as standard,” said Ciao.

“This provides enhanced surety for all new MG buyers and is transferable from one owner to the next.”

Also commencing on December 1, all MG vehicles will be advertised with drive-away pricing across the country, meaning the price displayed is the final price a customer will pay.

“We want to challenge the notion that a second-hand vehicle is the only option for buyers looking for an affordable car,” said Ciao.

“Drive-away pricing adds a new level of transparency and makes the buying process very straightforward,”

From the feature-packed MG3 and ZST, through to the capable and stylish HS range, right through to the future of electric motoring, the ZS EV and the HS PHEV, MG’s drive-away pricing offers peace of mind to new car buyers.

 is the major announcement that the marque will become the new naming rights partner for netball’s ANZ Premiership Champions.

“I would like to welcome the MG Mystics to the MG family and wish them every success for the coming season,” said Mr Ciao.

A fleet of MGs will transport the team around New Zealand.
