MG expands EV line‑up and hybrid tech
Overview
Since the July 2026 Goodwood showcase, MG has broadened its electrified portfolio. At the festival, the brand unveiled the Cyber concept, a five-metre electric SUV flagship positioned above the MG S9. This model may utilize an upgraded IM6 powertrain delivering approximately 532 kW and a range of at least 650 km, with a launch targeted for 2029 or later.
MG is also advancing its Plug-in Hybrid+ strategy, which integrates SolidCore semi-solid batteries developed with QingTao Energy. These lithium-manganese cells, containing roughly 5% liquid electrolyte, aim to provide higher power and better low-temperature stability. The technology will debut on B-, C-, and D-segment SUVs, starting with the MG ZS Plug-in Hybrid+ in 2026–2027. This system pairs the batteries with turbocharged 1.1-litre and 1.5-litre engines achieving thermal efficiencies above 42% and 43%, respectively.
In India, JSW MG Motor India launched limited-run “Couture” editions of the MG M9 and MG Cyberster, with only 50 units of each available. These bespoke models feature designs by Gaurav Gupta. Additionally, the company confirmed that the Jetour T2 SUV and iCaur V23 battery-electric vehicle are expected to debut in India in early 2027.
Earlier expansions included the MG4 EV Urban in Europe and Australia, the premium IM5 and IM6 sedan/SUV lineup, and the announcement of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) alongside ongoing Level-4 robotaxi trials.
