Chinese automaker SAIC’s brand MG Motor is broadening its presence in Europe by extending the distribution of electric and hybrid vehicles to Finland. The Hedin Mobility Group, serving as MG’s partner in Sweden since 2021, will now facilitate sales in the Finnish market.
Finnish consumers will have access to MG’s entire range of electric and hybrid vehicles, encompassing the battery-electric vehicle (BEV) models MG4 Electric, MG5 Electric, MG ZS EV, and MG Marvel R Electric, along with the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) model MG EHS. Some models, like the recently launched MG4 produced in Thailand, will be imported until European production is fully established, with the location of the factory yet to be determined.

Hedin stated, “We are delighted to expand our partnership with MG Motor Europe and enable more Finnish customers to experience emission-free mobility through MG’s range of innovative and safe products.”
