Although it has a long history, originating from an automobile assembly factory established in Shanghai sometime around World War II, SAIC, unlike domestic rivals [[FAW Group]] and [[Dongfeng Motors]], has only recently attained a position of prominence in the Chinese vehicle industry.<ref>{{Cite book  | last = Richter  | first = Frank-Jürgen  | title = The dragon millennium: Chinese business in the coming world economy  | publisher = Greenwood Publishing Group  | year = 2000  | pages = 65–69  | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Jbml6D5VDp4C&q=%22Shanghai%20Car%20Plant%22&pg=PA65  | isbn = 9781567203530  | access-date = 5 October 2016  | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130603081320/http://books.google.com/books?id=Jbml6D5VDp4C&lpg=PA65&dq=%22Shanghai%20Car%20Plant%22&pg=PA65  | archive-date = 3 June 2013  | url-status = live  }}</ref> A small company in the 1970s,<ref>{{Cite book   | last = Richter   | first = Frank-Jürgen   | title = The dragon millennium: Chinese business in the coming world economy   | publisher = Greenwood Publishing Group   | year = 2000   | page = 66   | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Jbml6D5VDp4C&q=%22Shanghai%20Car%20Plant%22&pg=PA66   | isbn = 9781567203530   | access-date = 5 October 2016   | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130603170442/http://books.google.com/books?id=Jbml6D5VDp4C&lpg=PA65&dq=%22Shanghai%20Car%20Plant%22&pg=PA66   | archive-date = 3 June 2013   | url-status = live   }}</ref> SAIC owes its rise to more than an increase in domestic demand for passenger vehicles.{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} A cooperative agreement made with Volkswagen in 1984<ref>Richter, pp. 67.</ref> followed by the formal establishment of Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Co.

| colspan="12" |Due to SAIC only disclosing the combined sales figures for the MG, Rising, and Roewe brands as "SAIC Passenger Vehicle", the individual sales figures for Rising and Roewe are derived from the registered numbers in China (as these two brands are exclusively sold in China currently). The separate sales data for MG brand is calculated as the "Rising registered number" plus "Roewe registered number" minus the "total sales of SAIC Passenger Vehicle", potentially resulting in some discrepancies to the actual data.
