MG RX8 2.0L COM 4WD AT

Extremely Disappointed with MG RX8 2020 and MG Service – Never Again I purchased the MG RX8 (2020 model) from an MG showroom in the UAE, and my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare from day one. Initial Experience (2020-2021): Just 30 minutes after taking delivery of the brand-new car, smoke started coming from the bonnet. The issue was diagnosed as a coolant problem. How can a brand-new car overheat within half an hour of delivery? After a few days, they returned the vehicle, only for the exact same issue to happen again – overheating and smoking. It took them over a month to return the vehicle after replacing several parts. Later, while charging my phone using the inbuilt wireless charger, the entire electrical system shut down and the car stalled in the middle of a busy Dubai road. They blamed the issue on my phone case (which was MagSafe), which makes no sense. Instead of fixing the charger, they simply disconnected it without my consent and said the issue might repeat if left as is. Unacceptable. Ongoing Problems (2023-2025): Despite repeated complaints, MG failed to resolve several serious issues: • Transmission noise between 40-60 km/h – a loud, worrying sound that got worse after each service. • Persistent steering and body vibrations while driving and especially while turning full left. • Turbo failure before 80,000 km, followed by engine oil sludge issues. • Poor service quality during the 80k km service – the car was returned dirty and misaligned. • Every time we raised a concern, they either said it was “normal” or claimed to have fixed it, when clearly, they had not. MG Service in Dubai – The Worst I’ve Experienced: The service centers are unresponsive, unprofessional, and clearly not equipped to handle or resolve technical issues seriously. Their “solutions” were either temporary or careless, often making the situation worse. In 2025, I finally sold the vehicle. My experience with the MG RX8 was extremely frustrating and disappointing. I will never purchase an MG again and strongly advise others to be cautious before considering one Do not recommend MG RX8 or MG service centers in Dubai.

Comparing,price,comfort,road grip,Pick up and AWD with similar price other Car from Toyota,Hyundai,Nissan it scores above them in all respect.Servicing charges are very less,parts cost are economical and easily available also.

I was long under the impression that Chinese cars are hideous when it comes to their looks. My entire notion was broken as I came across Mg rx8. I was pretty fascinated to have a glimpse of its massive size and bold appearance. Its magnificent presence is again a praiseworthy factor associated with this car. The model is absolutely proportionate. I fell in love with its premium quality SUV like looks almost instantly. The car looks ravishing with its LED head and tail lamps other than LED fog lamps, and 20 inches alloy wheels. I also liked the fact that its third row can more or less accommodate any average-sized adult person.

Worse experience ever. Car advertised to come with Android Auto and it doesnt work. Advised to go to service center by sales team. Car stuck there for over 10 days and nothing they can do to fix. False advertising in order to Sale. Worse after sales service ever. No one picks up the phone at the service center. Please stay away from this cheap brand.

I baught the mg rx8 new and from day one vibrations while driving i went to the MG workshop they changed the tires but still the vibrations are there specially when going 90 to 100 km per hour went back they said thats it we cannot do anything very bad customer service and inexperirnced workshop team i asked the chief engineer there and he said i dont know very bad experience very bad car i regret buying it Looking to sell as asap

I won’t recommend anyone to buy this car, I was facing vibrations issues from day one, I complained several times but unfortunately no cooperation, no good after sale service, actually bad staff to deal with, they don’t know ABC of marketing, no one will handle your complaint unless you talk to the head office or Ms. Alia in Dubai office (professional & wonderful person I’ve ever known).

I run a chauffeur service, and the MG RX8 allows me to transport my esteemed clients in comfort and style. The premium interior, plush leather seats, and tons of comfort features help me leave a lasting impression on my passengers. This seven-seater is very spacious and offers tons of comfort during long drives. The spacious cargo area allows me to transport briefcases, luggage, and other bulky items for my clients without compromising their comfort. It also has top-notch safety features that offer me peace of mind while driving.

Just got my MG RX8's 60k service done with the Dealer. Costed me over 1500 Dhs, they change the spark plugs for every 20k, I wonder why! As I know, spark plugs can easily last beyond 100k without replacement, please correct me if I am wrong. Just the labour cost was over 500 Dhs in the bill, phew!

I got the MG RX8 in Feb this year after a wait time of one year. The car itself is very good with few issues that makes it get 3 stars. High fuel consumption. I'm this class and price point you have options available with better fuel efficiency. Bad service support. My first 10K service date was given to mye after 2 months. I booked in April and the date given to me was June 15. Other option given to me to go to Abu Dhabi while I am in Dubai. The screen shows an error of Pre sales hardware and not for sale. Why has it been put in there? No answer from service team. The need to improve the service in order to make this car worth it.

While I first came across this seven seater SUV I was highly astonished. I was highly impressed to figure how much miles the brand has traverse over the years. Initially they launched double seater sportscars as far as I can recall. Unlike any hideous looking Chinese model this is boasting its bold and big self with utmost pride. The overall presence of the car is absolutely magnificent. The interior portion looks way clean and minimal due to the least presence of knobs and buttons. Though there is adequate usage of plastic within that is leather covered.
