Affordable electric vans are built by MG, a reputable manufacturer.
The British automotive brand MG is gearing up for the launch of its newest electric vehicle, the MG2, in 2028. This compact car will be positioned as an entry-level model in MG's electric range, below the MG4 Electric [1].
The MG2 is expected to be aggressively priced, making it a competitive option in the market against rivals such as Chery and GWM. While the exact price has not been disclosed, it is anticipated that it will be significantly lower than the MG4 Electric, making it an accessible electric car option under the MG brand [2][5].
In terms of design, the MG2 is intended to be a compact vehicle suited for urban and budget-conscious buyers. While specific design details are yet to be revealed, the MG2 is likely to follow the brand's current electric vehicle design language, featuring smooth, modern aesthetics and some advanced technology integration [2][5].
The MG2 is owned by the Chinese SAIC corporation and is expected to use the same battery-electric modular scalable platform from SAIC as the MG4 [6]. The concept phase for the MG2 is already advanced, with road tests of prototypes expected to begin soon [7].
The focus of the MG2 will be on affordability and monthly payments, positioning it as a budget-friendly electric car option. The MG2 is expected to be priced competitively with the new electric compact car Renault 5, starting at around €26,500 [8].
David Allison, the manager responsible for the UK, has confirmed the existence of the MG2. He hinted at the MG2 last year, and the British team, including the design studio in London, is reportedly playing a crucial role in the development of the small MG electric car [3][4].
The MG2 is expected to be four meters or shorter in length, making it suitable for urban environments [9]. The MG2 is part of MG's increasing number of electric vehicles and is expected to have a more European-oriented design approach [10].
While the exact launch date of the small MG electric car is not yet known, the development speed of MG is impressive, with the MG2 being a few years away but potentially accelerated [11]. Stay tuned for more updates on the MG2 as they become available.
