Giltrap Group Retail CEO & CMO, Dane Fisher, says the recently opened Giltrap MG dealership will form a key part of the New Zealand-owned Group’s effort to allow more Kiwis the opportunity to own and drive zero-emissions vehicles.

“Giltrap Group represents the world’s best automotive brands, and MG is an outstanding addition to our portfolio,” says Dane.

“MG’s combination of style, value-for-money packaging, and competitive pricing across the range means quality cars – including a host of dedicated EVs and plug-in hybrid PHEVs – will be more accessible to buyers than ever.

“It’s no coincidence that one in every 20 new cars sold in New Zealand this year has been an MG.”

While MG has a proud history, it’s the automaker’s bright future that first attracted Giltrap Group.

In an impressive turnaround in recent years, MG is now one of the world’s fastest growing automotive brands, offering a broad line-up of sustainable electric and electrified ‘new energy’ vehicles. Now an established part of SAIC Motor Corporation Limited (SAIC Motor), the overriding goal for MG is to make electric driving accessible for everyone ready to embrace an electric lifestyle.

Giltrap MG’s opening coincides with the launch of MG’s seventh model, the MG4 EV, which is already a Car of the Year award winner in the UK. The MG4 joins the MG3 hatchback, and the MG ZS and MG HS line-up of small and medium SUVs.

On the horizon – and harking back to the sportscar spirit the British marque was founded upon a century ago – the MG Cyberster signifies the arrival of the world’s first fully electric two-door convertible. With advance units being seen in the UK and Europe, the sporty EV promises to be one of the most hotly anticipated new cars of 2024.

Giltrap MG is now open at 82 Great South Road, Newmarket, Auckland. Work is already underway on a new purpose-built Giltrap MG showroom at 48 Great South Road, Newmarket, which is scheduled to open its doors later in 2024.
