MG Motor UK has been crowned Best Manufacturer at the prestigious Autocar Awards 2025, a significant milestone for the brand as it continues to grow its presence and reputation in its home market and beyond. The accolade underscores MG’s transformation into a serious contender in the modern automotive landscape, driven by bold design, accessible pricing, and an increasingly refined product line-up.
Autocar’s editorial panel praised MG for the consistent quality of its range, highlighting its ability to blend innovation with everyday practicality and exceptional value. The brand’s recent styling evolution has also been noted, with contemporary designs that resonate with both loyal and new buyers alike.
Among the highlights of MG’s current portfolio is the MG Cyberster—a striking, all-electric convertible grand tourer that turns heads with its futuristic lines and performance-led engineering. Commended by Autocar for its originality and daring design, the Cyberster exemplifies MG’s ambition to push boundaries and redefine its identity for a new era of electrification and driving enjoyment.
Autocar Editor Mark Tisshaw explained the decision:
“MG’s sales success in recent years, which has seen it become one of the UK’s top 10 manufacturers, would’ve been reason alone to make it our Best Manufacturer for 2025. But it is the product quality combined with value, as well as the increasing design appeal, that impresses.
The fun-to-drive, practical MG4 EV hatchback won our Best Electric Car in 2023, and MG has made even more progress since. Models like the Cyberster are ambitious and innovative and we believe a springboard for what MG will bring us next.”
This recognition marks a powerful moment for MG, a brand that began building cars in Oxford 101 years ago. From its early sporting roots to today’s forward-thinking electric future, MG continues to evolve while staying true to its ethos of accessible motoring.
Commenting on the award, Guy Pigounakis, Operations Director at MG Motor UK, said:
“Recognition from Autocar, the world’s oldest car magazine which reviewed our first Oxford-built MG sports cars, is definitely special.
MG has been on a remarkable journey of renewal, pioneering the introduction of affordable and advanced EVs and Hybrids and welcoming many new owners. Our springboard is indeed ready to launch new models that should delight and surprise customers.”
The award serves as a compelling endorsement of MG’s momentum as it embraces a new electric age—one shaped by heritage, driven by innovation, and guided by a deep understanding of what modern motorists want. With models like the MG4 EV and Cyberster leading the charge, MG’s trajectory continues to ascend.
