The month of February has again proved promising for new car sales in Australia with an increase in volume of 8% over the same period last year.

MG

MG continues to rocket up the chart, with sales for the first two months of 2021 up over 2 ½ times.

They are now in the top ten car manufacturers by sales volume in Australia, the first time ever, only a little behind Volkswagen in 9th spot and ahead of other well-known brands such as Honda and Suzuki. And for every one Renault sold, MG sold ten vehicles and they outsell Peugeot by nearly 25 to one.
