THE NEW GENERATION MG6 ARRIVES IN THE MIDDLE EAST



(19 September 2018, Middle East) MG Motor has confirmed that its stylish all-new MG6 sedan will be launched in the Middle East in late October this year. The all-new MG6 is the latest model from the British-born automotive brand, which is enjoying a major resurgence in popularity across the region as its expanding new product line-up continues to attract a rapidly increasing number of buyers.

The sleek, dynamic profile of the all-new MG6 is boosted by carbon fibre trim on the front bumper, headlamps featuring a ‘London Eye’ design concept, twin chrome exhaust pipes and a ‘Star Rider’ front grille, which takes inspiration from the brand’s expressive design language. The sporty, premium vibe continues inside the cabin with a smartly configured dashboard and central console, complemented by stylish leather-wrapped seats boasting a black and red interior on top-of-the-range models.

In addition to offering the most interior space in its segment, the all-new MG6 builds on MG’s reputation for providing extremely generous levels of equipment. An 8-inch colour touch screen with Apple CarPlay, push start button, keyless entry, auto hold function, tyre pressure monitoring system, rear parking camera, and a dual-zone cool climate control system featuring rear air-conditioning vents are just some of the features that are set to be offered as standard.

When it arrives in the Middle East, the MG6 will be equipped with a 1.5-litre turbo engine, mated to a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DTC) with paddle shift option, for smooth, effortless performance. This efficient petrol unit delivers maximum power of 169hp and maximum torque of 250Nm.


Mr. Tom Lee, Managing Director, SAIC Motor Middle East, commented: “The all-new MG6 will reinforce the brand’s reputation for offering reliability and industry-leading value for money. By spending their hard-earned money on our cars in increasing numbers, customers across the region are clearly demonstrating their appreciation of MG’s line-up of good looking, well-equipped and technologically-advanced models. This new generation model will stand out in the Middle East’s prominent sedan segment, and will help us to achieve our objective of increasing market share.”

Since its acquisition of MG Motor, SAIC MOTOR, as a Global Top 500 company, has opened a new chapter for this British-born brand. The introduction of the all-new MG6 follows the launch of two SUV models earlier this year, the MG RX5 compact SUV and the MG ZS SUV, as well as the second-generation MG GS. Together, these models join the existing MG 360 to complete the brand’s Middle East line-up.

Nissan To Power Red Bull Car Park Drift 2016


The 370Z to be the official car of the most coveted drifting championship in the Middle East




Dubai, UAE: March 29, 2016 – Nissan has announced that it is to partner with Red Bull for the 2016 series of the Red Bull Car Park Drift championship. The annual event has grown in popularity since its inception in 2008, with 75,000 spectators expected in 2016, compared to 60,000 last year. Nissan is getting in on the action by both becoming a main sponsor and supplying a 370Z to be the main car driven by the record breaking Lebanese drifter, Abdo Feghali.

“Nissan is widely known for its promise of ‘Innovation That Excites,” says Fadi Ghosn, Chief Marketing Officer of Nissan Middle East, “and few motorsports are as adrenaline soaked as Red Bull Car Park Drift. The Nissan 370Z is an iconic sports car and is ideal for putting on a spectacular display of driver control. With Abdo Feghali behind the wheel, we are looking forward to some unforgettable performances that will highlight the diverse range of capabilities possessed by the 370Z.”


After its inception in Beirut back in 2008, where motorsport is a cult, the event grew to become a regional series as of 2010, spanning a large number of countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. The first regional Final took place in 2010 at the Forum De Beyrouth, attracting ‘underground drifters’ to show off their skills in an organized competition.. In the short time since, Red Bull Car Park Drift has become a firm fixture on the Middle East’s motorsport calendar and Nissan cars have been a mainstay, with 2015’s King of Drift, Ahmad Daham, taking top honors in a Nissan Silvia being just one example.

“Nissan is no stranger to Red Bull Car Park Drift, with wide popularity among drifters and fans alike”, said Alberto Chahoud, Area Communication Manager for Red Bull. “Today, we welcome Nissan on board as the official car of the 2016 season. With continuous upgrades and a relentless drive towards innovation, Red Bull pledges to offer fans a season to look forward to”.


The Judging criteria includes points being awarded for more than drifting skills, with car sound, tire smoke and looks  all playing a part in overall rankings. Twelve countries are represented and drivers who win on a national level go on to Regional Qualifiers, followed by the Regional Finals where the King of Drift is crowned.

“It’s a perfect venue for drivers to perform incredible feats in their cars, in the safe confines of an FIA-monitored competition,” continues Ghosn. “At Nissan we take safety very seriously and actively encourage drivers to engage in motorsport that puts them and their thousands of spectators out of harm’s way.”

The 2016 series features competitions across the Middle East and North Africa, ending in Oman, where the King of Drift title will be awarded during December.
