MG continue with a new show car,
called X-Motion, which will celebrate its world premiere in Beijing, China, on
April 25. Called the “SUV Captain” by the automaker in the short press release
announcing its debut at Beijing, the MG X-Motion draws from the lines of the
impressive E-Motion.
At the front, it has a similarly shaped grille,
flanked by the modern headlights with incorporated LED DRLs, and a muscular
hood. The profile is sleek, and reminds of the aforementioned study, whereas at
the rear it uses some Audi-like taillights.
The new MG X-Motion Concept is believed to build
upon the Roewe RX8, a flagship SUV made under the close watch of SAIC. The
4,923 mm long, 1,930 mm wide and 1,810 mm tall RX8 is
powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine, rated at 221hp, which might
also be found under the hood of the X-Motion.
MG will put the X-Motion Concept in production next
year, and they will launch it in the Asian country. Nevertheless, since the
SAIC-owned UK car marque is looking to expand its operations and reach to more
customers globally, it might arrive in certain Western markets, where it
could become a more affordable alternative to vehicles such as the Audi Q7.
