With over 125 new MG cars registered, Premier Motors is celebrating a hugely successful first year as an MG dealer.
The Isle of Wight dealership played its part in cementing MG’s position as the UK’s fastest-growing mainstream car brand offering great quality, value and equipment levels across its entire range of EV and petrol cars. 30,600 new MGs were registered in the UK last year, almost two-thirds more than 2020.
Situated at the Premier Motors’ Newport dealership, Premier MG is the new home for MG’s range of value-for-money cars as well as servicing, repairs and accessories. The newly built sales showroom hosts the full range of MG vehicles as well as trained staff to help with all MG sales and aftersales enquiries including Motability.
The dealership’s successful launch is a great achievement considering the automotive industry’s difficult year influenced by the ongoing pandemic and semiconductor shortages.
David Rye, Premier Motors Managing Director said:
“All our hard work has paid off and we are delighted to be working with a franchise that is on the up. We know there is a lot of interest in the MG brand and its affordable EV and Plug-in Hybrid offering which has helped in our successful first year.
“We have to acknowledge, that much like 2020, 2021 was a difficult year for everyone and we opened our showroom under a number of COVID restrictions. The semiconductor issue isn’t going to end anytime soon, but even with the supply challenges this brings, we still have a high number of new MGs on their way to us. I’d like to personally thank all our customers, especially those who have placed an order for a new MG, for their patience and understanding.
“It’s been a great first year as Premier MG, I look forward to seeing our success grow over the following 12 months and beyond.”
