MG is advancing its electrification strategy with a new family of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) powertrains designed for greater efficiency and performance. The upcoming systems will feature 1.1 and 1.5 turbo engines, coupled with a newly designed transmission specifically for hybrid applications. A key innovation is a 3.6 kWh semi-solid state battery, engineered to enhance driving range, particularly in extreme cold, and ensure smoother integration with the combustion engine.

MG is working on a new family of PHEV powertrains that aim to be more efficient, powerful, and perform better in various scenarios.

— MG RepresentativeDescribing the brand's upcoming hybrid technology.

This new battery technology promises a 40% increase in efficiency over current generations. MG anticipates that up to 90% of urban driving could be conducted in electric mode. The first vehicle to incorporate this advanced PHEV system will be the MG ZS in its 2027 model year, signaling the brand's commitment to bringing cutting-edge solutions to a wider market.

This means that, regarding the battery, it uses a new way of interpreting chemistry to offer greater range, especially in extreme cold climates, and also has a more homogeneous response in conjunction with the combustion engine.

Beyond powertrain advancements, MG also offered glimpses into its future design philosophy. The MG Go! concept revives the spirit of small, engaging cars with a design inspired by the classic MG B GT, featuring straight lines to convey speed and precision. This hatchback concept, presented in a vibrant orange with blue, white, and black accents, aims to be a charismatic "pocket rocket" appealing to the young in spirit.

MG's goal is to bring innovation to the general public, regardless of the country or region they are in.

Additionally, the MG Cyber concept was unveiled, representing an "emotional luxury" proposition. Drawing inspiration from the Cyberster, this concept leans towards a stylish crossover, hinting at MG's exploration of premium and emotionally resonant design directions for future models.

The MG Go! is a conceptual proposal for the future, aiming to recapture the essence of small but fun cars, with straight lines that seek to convey speed and precision.

— Jozef KabanVice President of Design at SAIC, describing the MG Go! concept.
