MG has teased a new electric vehicle, ahead of its debut later this year. The company didn’t say much about the model, but confirmed it was designed with UK consumers in mind and will measure 4,300 mm long. This means the EV will be slightly larger than the Volkswagen ID.3, which measures 4,261 mm long.
While MG is staying tight-lipped, the
teaser video shows a crossover or hatchback that features plastic body cladding
as well as aerodynamically optimized 17-inch alloy wheels. The model also
sports streamlined styling, a prominent shoulder line, and a stylish rear end
that vaguely recalls the Kia EV6. We can also see a contrasting black or
panoramic glass roof.
Autocar is reporting the model will be
called the 4 and will be “broadly identical to the latest iteration of the 5
EV.” If that’s the case, the model may have a 61.1 kWh battery pack that powers
an electric motor churning out 154 hp and 260 Nm of torque. This setup enables the 5 EV to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in 7.3 seconds and travel up to 402 km on a single charge under the
Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure.
Putting rumored specifications aside, MG
seemed to suggest the electric vehicle will be affordable as they used the
“MGElectricforAll” hashtag. Of course, we’ll find out more later this year.
