SAIC
Motor's MG E-Motion has bowed at the Shanghai Auto Show and offers an
intriguing glimpse at what the British marque could bring to the market in the
future.
No powertrain details have been published by the
company just yet but it is thought to be powered by an all-electric powertrain
that offers up enough punch to accelerate the concept to 100 km/h in
under 4 seconds.
Although the powertrain could appear in some form or
another in a future MG vehicle, it is the exterior and interior design of the
E-Motion that is of most importance as it previews the future design language
for the company.
According to the head designer at SAIC Motor, Shao
JingFeng, the design of the E-Motion is “more friendly” than the looks of the
brand's existing models.
The front of the concept is perhaps the most
eye-catching element of the concept. It includes an intriguing new front grille
with a matte silver border and a pair of headlights with incorporated LED
daytime running lights that stretch across to the front wheel arches.
From the rear,
the E-Motion is just as eye-catching and includes a small, heavily-raked
window, a vertical set of taillights and an intriguing bumper design.
