Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said: "The automotive industry has seen a major shift in recent months and years, with buyers’ behavior and the window shopping and physical purchase of vehicles in showrooms moving to a more virtual one. According to a recent independent study across the GCC*, 6 out of 10 customers are now willing to purchase vehicles online. With the launch of our new e-commerce platform, we will be able to serve our customers from the comfort of their homes more effectively."

Purchasing a new MG can be done by making a small down payment via the payment gateway. Customers can make payments using credit cards, debit cards, or even Samsung Pay. Once a deposit is placed on the desired car, the Customer Relationship Management from the showroom will contact the customer for all car delivery formalities.
