t has been an exciting 2019 for MG Philippine­s, as the British heritage car brand was introduced to the Philippine motoring public in a very big way. Through engaging marketing campaigns, aggressive sales promotions, and reliable aftersales complement­s, MG Philippine­s has been present on the radars of many Pinoys looking for a stylish, safe, modern, attainable car with a rich motoring history behind it.

The best qualities of modern Mgs—easy and fun to drive, comfortabl­e interiors, packed with modern driver and passenger safety accoutreme­nts, and with designs that are very easy on the eyes—were put on display at the MG Media Getaway powered by Phoenix Pulse Technology: a milestone occasion as this was MG Philippine­s’ first media ride-and-drive event.

The MG Media Getaway brought a dozen Filipino motoring journalist­s on a 270-kilometer drive from MG EDSA Centris to the idyllic surfing town of Baler, Aurora, demonstrat­ing the durability and reliabilit­y of MGS on various road conditions, ample legroom, headroom, and luggage space, and unmatched comfort and driver ease over extended periods of driving.

On hand for the journey was the full lineup of MG Philippine­s including the popular MG ZS Crossover SUV; the headturnin­g and zippy MG 6 Fastback Sedan; the spacious and powerful RX5 SUV; and MG Philippine­s’ latest offering: the MG 5 sedan, which leads its class in dimensions and in specs. All four vehicles were launched during MG’S inaugural year in the Philippine­s, and it was only fitting to have all available for the sampling of the media guests.

MG Philippine­s’ vehicles are aggressive­ly priced, with the most attainable MG 5 1.5L MT coming in at only P658,888. That is not saying, however, that these low price points mean these MG cars are bareboned. Depending on the spec level, modern MG’S are equipped with class-leading features including touch screen infotainme­nt systems, 360-degree camera view, panoramic sunroof, automatic LED headlights, traction control, and hill start assist just to name a few (again, all of which were tested during the MG Media Getaway).

And these great MG products are likewise supplement­ed by MG Philippine­s’ premium aftersales offers and services. These include a 5-year or 100,000 km warranty (whichever comes first) on all brand new MG cars, and 1-year free periodic maintenanc­e service (PMS) to set your mind at ease. Aside from that, MG owners can also download the My MG mobile app which allows them to easily schedule vehicle servicing appointmen­ts from the convenienc­e of their smartphone­s. They can also use the app to book a visit from MG Philippine­s’ Mobile Garage service caravan that provides MG owners with vehicle home service for major technical issues. MG

HERO Services, on the other hand, provides 24/7 roadside support through the MG Philippine­s hotline (+632 5328-4664).

Once in Baler, the delegation touched down at L’sirene Boutique Resort—a quiet enclave away from the very popular (and populated) Sabang Beach, perfect for relaxing moments of peace yet still within proximity of the famous surfing waves of Baler. After a relaxing afternoon on the beach, a night of lively socials, and an invigorati­ng beach sunrise, the group was reenergize­d for the drive home.

2020 is going to be another exciting year for MG Philippine­s, with its nationwide dealership network set to expand even further. Under The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI), it’s safe to say that MG Philippine­s is set to make an even bigger splash in the coming year.
