A Small MG EV?

[AdamMGEV]

When will we see an MG EV Hatchback or small car?

 

[biffo]

I think a sub £15k hatchback with a 25-30kWh battery and 100-125 mile range could complete with VW e-Up!, Fiat 500e & Mini.

If something came along for the new 22 registration then it could do well.

That looks £10-£12k Fiat Cinquecento - definitely a place in city and suburban life for those - an MG1EV? Additionally need a Mini sized MG3EV at £15-£18k

 

[AdamMGEV]

Ye thats too small for any motorway driving, or anything over 60mph I'd feel safe in. Needs to be the MG3, Hyundai i20, Seat Ibiza type size.

Autocar: MG primes new electric hatchback for UK launch in 2023.

New 2023 MG electric hatchback to rival Vauxhall Corsa-e | Autocar

MG's new electric hatchback could replace ageing 3 supermini and appear as a concept in April

There is definitely a market for a £15k-£20k small hatchback - essentially a Corsa-e for 75% of the price.

 

[AdamMGEV]

About time they bring it out. I did think it would be 2022 so that's a shame

Take a look at the Dacia Spring - these things can't get out of the dealers fast enough here in France, there is already a 6-8 month wait.

Small, great city car (awful on highways), not fast but more than good enough for its intended use and most importantly, cheap - here in France, with the new car EV bonus you can buy one for €12k; as a second/city car that's unbeatable - now that's an area MG should be targeting.

I don't think that's reached the UK yet

I don't think that's reached the UK yet

China (as a Renault) and Europe only at the moment as there is no RHD tooling. Rumors are a decision on whether to bring it to the UK are due this month, but heck, rumors are rumors eh?

It's great little car if one's expectations are correctly set, we've hired one a few times and seriously, it's cheap, a bit tinny and not fast, but it's a car built for a purpose and it does that really well. Where I could see it really doing well in the UK is on car-club fleets such as Zipcar in London. Here's one we rented.

Is this it ???

2023 MG electric hatch spied

MG is getting closer to revealing a long overdue replacement for its popular 3, and it's set to offer an electric option for the first time.

Looks like it

I think more work needs doing on MG3 first before they release an EV version. I have driven a few ( courtesy cars) and they are not quite there yet.

The car which has been shown in the spy shots is a completely new EV-only architecture, and not a modified MG3.
It should be shown to the public in April, as far as I know.

It would be nice to see it come in various versions - such as a 30 kWh base model, 51.1 kWh LR model and a dual motor performance model - just to cater for a wider market sector who want something smaller than a SUV.

You shouldn't be disappointed. There will be various drivetrain configurations, including longer range and increased power.

I say stick a 75kw battery on it an you'll have a 350 mile range car possibly for a reasonable price hopefully knowing MG. That would get a lot of people then into the EV market. People don't want EV's because of range.... and price, but if MG can deliver a small hatchback in over 300 mile range I don't think anyone else has done that. I for one would buy one.

They may be waiting for Elon's Model 2 to appear as the price is reputed to be very affordable
