MG 350, 550 and 750
 

Predictions are coming true. NAC's new owner SAIC is serious about selling Roewe models abroad under established MG brand. In Chile, the company already introduced MG 550 and 750 which are nothing more than Roewe sedans of same name with new badge.
Does that mean that Roewe is coming to Europe also? Time will tell.

Great looking car. The only problem i saw on this is that the white interior looks like weird. Not a combo inside.

Re: MG 550 and 750
 

MG Chile renamed both Roewes prior to sales start. Smaller one is now named MG 55, and Roewe 750 is hence known as MG 75.

Prices of MG 55:
* MG 55 1.8i Turbo DeLuxe 13.490.000 pesos (16.314 €/21.601 USD )
* MG 55 1.8i Turbo DeLuxe Aut. 14.490.000 pesos (17.524 €/23.202 USD)


MG 75 costs 15.490.000 pesos (18.741 €/24.814 USD)

If you consider Israel to be in Europe then yes:

"The first two MG cars of Chinese carmaker Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SSE: 600104) (SAIC) have arrived in Israel.

SAIC acquired British carmaker MG Rover in 2005. The cars are for display, technical training, and market testing by SAIC and Peugeot Citroen importer David Lubinski Ltd. One of the cars is the two-seater MGT-F sports car and the other is the MG 550 sedan.

The cars do not yet fully comply with EU-4 or EU-5 emissions standards, so they will probably only be displayed passively, without an Israeli license for travel. European standard-compliant MG cars, which will receive Israeli licenses, are due to arrive in the third or fourth quarter of the year."

Thanks for info.
Who won in the comparison test, by the way?

Re: MG 550 and 750
 

The 550 has a cool, distinctive look to it. Like it's on its way to becoming James Bond's car.
