While MG’s Mini EV rival is planned for launch in 2027, no specific timeline has been provided for the introduction of the new D-segment electric SUV
Given MG’s 100+ years of rich British heritage, the brand has always showcased their best and most exciting creations at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Among the key attractions at this year’s event are two new concepts. MG Motor has unveiled a B-segment electric hatchback named MG GO (Mini EV, Polo EV and Renault 5 rival) and a new D-segment SUV model named MG Cyber Concept.

With the MG GO concept, the brand has previewed plans for a new electric hatchback that is expected to make its debut next year. Europe is likely a key market, where this new B-segment hatch will take on rivals like Mini EV, Polo EV and Renault 5. MG GO concept and the related production model are designed at MG Design Centre in London. This team is headed by Design Director, Carl Gotham.
MG GO Electric Hatchback Concept
The MG GO concept has an exciting retro-futuristic blend, drawing inspiration from MG’s older models such as the MGB GT, MG Metro Turbo and MG ZR. Key highlights include distinctive oval shaped headlamps with pixel-style lighting elements, prominent air curtains on the bumper and a closed-off grille.
MG GO uses large aero-optimized alloy wheels, circular wheel arches, flap door handles, blacked-out A and B pillars and sharp ORVMs. At the rear, the hatch gets a raked windshield, a large roof mounted spoiler and distinctive tail lamps with pixel-style LEDs. The hatch has a sporty bumper with diffuser-style elements in a dual tone finish.

MG has stated that the GO concept has a playful, expressive and engaging design. It is something that users can connect with at an emotional level. According to Carl Gotham, MG GO is compact, contemporary and immediately likeable. For now, MG has not revealed any specs of the production model that will be derived from the GO concept.
MG Cyber Concept
This concept previews plans for a new large D-segment electric SUV. Judging by its design, the concept appears to be built for speed and luxury. MG has referenced the legendary EX181 land-speed record streamliner, linking it to the concept’s underlying philosophy of innovation. For context, the EX181 had achieved 254.91 mph (410 km/h) in 1959.
MG Cyber SUV Concept
MG Cyber concept has a curvy, aerodynamic design, with sweptback lighting elements. Other key features include a full-width LED strip and a sharp design for the grille and front bumper. MG Cyber concept has distinctive flowing lines on the bonnet, ensuring a striking presence.
Other key highlights include large aero-optimized alloy wheels, flush door handles, frameless windows, camera-based ORVMs and a gently sloping roofline. At the rear, MG Cyber concept has an illuminated MG logo, a raked windshield and a distinctive roof mounted spoiler. The bumper has a gloss black finish and comes with prominent design elements at both ends.
MG Cyber SUV Concept
MG’s production model based on the Cyber concept will be positioned as a family-oriented electric SUV. It will offer all-in-one usability, making it suitable for everyday commutes and long-distance journeys. Launch timelines for the production model are expected to be announced at a later date.
