MG in Switzerland 2026: Prices, Warranty, Homologation

二The 15 MG models sold in Switzerland and their prices

As of 31 October 2026, the SinoDrive catalogue lists 15 MG models sold in Switzerland, taken from mgmotor.ch: seven electric, three hybrid, two plug-in hybrid and three petrol. The cheapest is the MG3, at CHF 16'490; the cheapest electric model is the MG4 EV Urban, at CHF 21'990; the IM5 has the longest range in the line-up, 655 km WLTP, from CHF 41'990.

Prices are the "from" list prices published by MG Motor Switzerland, excluding temporary promotions, which may show a lower price at the time of purchase. Range is shown only for electric models whose WLTP figure is in our catalogue.

三Warranty and reliability

Warranty periods vary by brand, model and component (vehicle, battery, motor): check them with the importer before buying. For MG, they are set out in the MG Motor Switzerland contract in force. On safety, the models sold in Switzerland are homologated to the safety requirements of European type approval; Euro NCAP results, where they exist, can be consulted model by model on euroncap.com.

No single period applies to the whole range: the exact conditions (duration, mileage, what is covered, transferability on resale) must be checked against the MG contract in force at the time of purchase, via the brand page of the site or directly on mgmotor.ch — never on the basis of the dealership sales pitch alone.

四Homologation and customs: the Swiss advantage for MG

The main difference from the European Union is customs, and it is particularly pronounced for MG. Since 30 October 2024, the European Union has applied specific countervailing duties to electric vehicles made in China: +17% for BYD, +18.8% for Geely, and up to +35.3% for the brands of the SAIC group — MG included — the highest rate of all the Chinese manufacturers concerned, on top of the basic customs duty of 10% already in force on all imported vehicles.

Switzerland, outside the European Union and linked to China by a free trade agreement since 2014, does not take part in this mechanism. Since 1 January 2024, Switzerland has abolished customs duties on industrial products, cars included; it does, however, apply to electric vehicles an automobile tax of 4% on the import price, as well as VAT of 8.1%. The European Union applies an ordinary customs duty of 10% to Chinese battery-electric vehicles, to which are added countervailing duties ranging from about 7.8% to 35.3% depending on the manufacturer (implementing regulation (EU) 2024/2754). For SAIC (MG), the countervailing duty is 35.3%. This customs regime — and not a difference in technical specification — is one of the things that set the Swiss market apart from the European market for these models. On the technical side, the MGs sold in Switzerland are homologated for Europe, with a CCS charging socket (the European standard) and an interface in French, German or Italian — they are not re-imported “China-spec” vehicles.

五After-sales service: the official network

Servicing, parts and warranty claims go through the brand's official Swiss network, attached to MG Motor Switzerland (mgmotor.ch). As with every Chinese brand on SinoDrive, this network is distinct from parallel imports: authorised garage, test drives, delivery and warranty are handled by a professional business based in Switzerland.

As of 31 October 2026, the locator on mgmotor.ch counts 30 points of sale and 23 service points in Switzerland. The network changes over the months: before buying, check the nearest garage on that locator or on SinoDrive's MG brand page.

六MG, the best-established Chinese brand in Switzerland

On the Swiss market in 2025 (a depressed overall market, around 234'000 new vehicles), Chinese brands accounted for about 3.1% of registrations, or nearly 7'200 vehicles. Within that total, MG had the highest share among the brands followed in our market study: 1.7%, ahead of BYD (0.7%, the brand having only launched in Switzerland in April 2025) and Leapmotor (0.4%).

This position is part of a broader European trend: MG sold around 304'000 vehicles in Europe in 2025, up 26% year on year — notable growth, although slower than BYD's over the same period (+278%, but from a much lower base). A study cited by the Swiss Marketplace Group also notes that searches for “MG” have doubled on AutoScout24.ch, a sign of growing interest among Swiss buyers, with unaided awareness of the brand measured at 32% (against 42% for BYD and 50% for Polestar in the same study).

七Frequently asked questions

Are the MGs sold in Switzerland reliable? The models sold here benefit from full European homologation. MG belongs to SAIC Motor, a group that sells several hundred thousand vehicles a year in Europe (around 304'000 in 2025). Warranty periods vary by model and component (vehicle, battery, motor): check them with MG Motor Switzerland before buying, as well as the Euro NCAP results for the model you are interested in.

What will my MG be worth when I resell it? There is as yet no reliable, published Swiss track record on the depreciation of used MGs: the Swiss market for Chinese brands is too recent (less than two years of dense history) to put a figure on it. The favourable factors that can be identified are a possible transferability of the warranty to the second owner (to be confirmed in the contract) and strongly growing European demand for Chinese brands (+90% sales in Europe in 2025) — positive signs, not a quantified promise of residual value.

Is the Swiss customs regime more favourable than the EU's for MG? On import duties, yes: the European Union applies to models of the SAIC group a countervailing duty of 35.3% on top of the ordinary duty of 10%, whereas Switzerland abolished its industrial customs duties in 2024 (it does, however, levy the 4% automobile tax and 8.1% VAT). That is not enough to say what price you will pay: always compare written offers.
