After MG Rover went bankrupt in 2005, the Chinese carmaker Nanjing Automobile acquired the British Longbridge plant and the MG marque, and in March 2016 MG unveiled the first vehicles manufactured in China: the 3 SW (based on the Rover Streetwise), 7 (MG ZT/Rover 75) and TF. Another Chinese company, SAIC, purchased technology relating to the Rover 75 in 2005, but failed to acquire the rights of the Rover brand. It originally intended to purchase all assets of MG Rover, but was outbid by Nanjing Automobile. However, in 2007 Nanjing Automobile merged with the much larger SAIC Group, which means SAIC is now controlling both Roewe and MG. MG's first new product, the MG 6, was based on the Roewe 550. In late 2010 MG launched the all-new 3, which succeeded the 3 SW. It was launched in the United Kingdom in 2013.

The MG 6 fastback was launched in 2009. It is directly based on the Roewe 550 and its underpinnings are based on the Roewe 750 (Rover 75). In 2010 a sedan was added to the range. This is the facelifted fastback. MG recently launched the second generation MG 6.
