MG, the passenger car brand owned by China’s SAIC and originally from Britain, will introduce 13 new energy vehicles (NEVs) worldwide within two years as part of a 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) investment in electrification and product development, The 21st Century News reported.
The expansion will cover battery electric vehicles (BEVs), extended-range EVs (EREVs), and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). MG will rely on SAIC’s established technologies and supply chain capabilities, with additional initiatives including connectivity solutions developed with Oppo and the planned use of semi-solid state battery technology.
MG has played a growing role in SAIC’s overseas sales, delivering 153,100 vehicles in Europe during the first half of 2025. While petrol-powered models such as the MG5 sedan remain popular domestically, the brand is increasing its focus on electric mobility to strengthen its position in global markets, the newspaper said.
The company’s first vehicle under its new strategy, the MG4 electric hatchback, began presales in China on Aug. 5 and will officially launch on Aug. 29. A version equipped with semi-solid state batteries is expected by year-end. The MG4, which measures 4,395 mm in length and features a 120 kW (161 hp) rear motor, is priced from 73,800 to 105,800 yuan ($10,300–14,760) with a conventional liquid battery.
