Both companies see this transition as a strategic step, allowing each party to realign and focus on their respective core strengths in response to shifting market dynamics.

Maxus was first launched in the country back in June 2019 with a couple of vans, the G10 and the V80, which were available in Comfort, Transport, and Flex variants. They then added the G50 MPV to their lineup and followed it up with two SUV models and a pickup truck, the D60, the D90, and the T60, respectively.

The G50 eventually gave way to the much-improved G50 Plus under MG (which is also a SAIC auto brand), while the T90 pickup is set to enter the Philippine market as the TRQ. On the other hand, the D90 is also set to make a comeback in the Philippines with MG.
