A new electric is ready to expand the range of MGs in Europe. The British brand controlled by the Chinese giant SAIC has published on its social channels the teaser of a new full electric car that will be unveiled by the end of 2022, it will be a long vehicle 4.3 meters designed to meet the needs of European customers. The dimensions are therefore similar to those of Volkswagen ID.3, a model that has conquered the Old Continent in recent months and which is pushing the transition of the Wolfsburg giant.
Accompanied by the hashtag “MGElectricforAll”, the new MG hides under a cloth that reveals in some moments small details of the car. In video teaser popularized by the British brand you can see part of the silhouette of a model that could be a sedan or a crossover, given the side skis and the height from the ground, with specific 17 “design wheels, with a style that highlights the optimization aerodynamics. At the rear, the wraparound LED optical signature stands out on the sides, which extends to the center of the tailgate, divided by the MG logo under the rear window.
According to Autocar the new model it could be called MG4, similar to the last EV of the English brand. If the technical specifications were borrowed from that car, the new full electric could be equipped with a 61.1 kWh battery pack that powers an electric motor capable of delivering 115 kW / 156 hp and 260 Nm of torque. This configuration would allow to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 7.3 seconds and guarantee a range with a single charge up to 402 km in the WLTP cycle. We will have to wait until the fourth quarter to get official information on a model that promises to be competitive and ready to win over customers from the Old Continent.
