The MG E-motion - an electric coupe concept first
revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show in 2017 - is set to spawn a production car in
2021, bosses have confirmed. The original concept had a range of 310 miles and could do 0-62mph in
less than four seconds, thanks to a twin-motor set-up delivering four-wheel
drive.
The production version could return up to 250 miles
of range on the official WLTP efficiency cycle, and MG plans to launch the
E-motion as its flagship vehicle in two years’ time.
The MG E-motion is set to use a modular
electric-vehicle platform designed by Chinese firm SAIC, its parent company. However, the scissor doors and
curved glass roof that featured on the concept are unlikely to survive the
transition to production.
