MG Monthly UK Registrations
This thread is to discuss, and make guesses about, MG monthly registrations in the UK which are generally on the up - but how much?
I'm not the only fan of MGs who's not here as often as they used to be and I don't think we have the quorum any more to run a separate thread for each month, but if we have a thread with no month in the title, then anyone can start the ball rolling for subsequent months and update the summary of who has guessed what in their own post.

Electrification has been one factor holding Fiat's sales back. With a sub-£20k electric 500 coming out next Spring, I expect sales to surge to head up the marques listed in Patpending's list.
Interestingly, the MG3 is not on the SAICMG.com website. Will MG be introducing an electric car in this segment or will it focus on SUVs?

An electric mini would be good...
The next MG3 replacement won't be sold in China but instead will be an overseas vehicle only.Electrification has been one factor holding Fiat's sales back. With a sub-£20k electric 500 coming out next Spring, I expect sales to surge to head up the marques listed in Patpending's list.

They are pretty popular outside of China hence they will still be something targeting that market.
The expected release date will be 2022.
New MG3 2021 detailed: Segment-leading light hatch to get update - but big changes in store for next-generation Kia Rio rival
The MG3 will be updated next year, before a potentially radically different new-generation product comes further in the future.

I meant an electric MG on the mini class. Maybe I should have spelt it out if it wasn’t clear from the context of the conversation.That exists, doesn't it. MINI Electric | Range | MINI UK
As I'm a bit of a square, I'll go for 1156 this time. I'm so bad at this game!
Compliments of the season, chaps and chapesses.

Err... 750 for me for Dec. Down cos of lockdown 2.0.
MG5 is very appealing to fleets but I'm not sure I can believe an interview with DG published in dealer's magazine AM as at 24/12 that he is still going for 20,000 total this year. I think it's a late printing of an October interview. Are 1,000 MG5 going to be registered in December? I doubt it.
With so many showrooms shut without even being able to do test drives, I think my 1,498 for the month is pretty optimistic (over twice last month!) and that still gets us to "only" a best-ever 18,492 for the year!

Haven't guessed for a while but I'm going to be really pessimistic and say 595.

I think I'll leave wrapping this up till next year (tomorrow lol). Anyone else care to tip Suzuki or Dacia to beat the other? gnu says Dacia, I say Suzuki.
OK game on. Official figures revealed on Tuesday 5th January.
From 31st December:
"Come on Michio-san! Go and buy three Suzukis before new year! I saw that double-dealing do-badder D. Dacia sneaking off to buy another one of his just now lol!"

Still no number. I'll try again tomorrow.
1,421. Dave is very close and wins!
December month. MG outsold all the competition, including not only Mazda but also Honda! Dacia had a very poor month. 1,400 sold in December would have sounded like pie in the sky only a few years ago. And the whole country was under varying restrictions in the month, up to and including complete closure of sales showrooms!
It wasn't sufficient for MG to overtake either Dacia or Fiat for the year, though, although within 1,000 registrations of both brands. Covid scuppered the target of 20,000 though 18,415 was a heroic Nearly!
December was the first month I recall in which BEVs outsold diesels - by nearly 40%! MG is the strongest budget BEV brand I know, against Renault and Nissan. Tesla and B*W are premium brands. Do Toyota do BEVs? They are advertising "hybrids".
