SAIC won’t just unveil a new MG
sports car concept at the Shanghai Auto Show but will also showcase this, the
Vision-E Concept. Revealed in these three images published by Chinese media,
the Vision-E is a five-door SUV with a very sleek design and a particularly
impressive interior.
The side profile shot shows that the concept lacks
any visible B-pillars, is outfitted with small cameras instead of traditional
wing mirrors, has wheel spokes which illuminate and handles seamlessly embedded
into the doors. The roofline of the Vision-E also
catches the eye as it falls away steadily after the front section of the cabin,
tapering off to a small spoiler and steeply raked rear window.
Inside, the teases reveal that SAIC’s latest concept
will be a four seater and include a large floating touch screen display as the
main control hub. A circular rotary dial not dissimilar to those from Jaguar
Land Rover is also present, as is an electronic handbrake.
It is thought that the Vision-E will be fully
electric and have a range of approximately 500 km. Expect a full
reveal on April 18.
