Revealed: MG's plans to refresh all models

MG is riding the crest of a wave right now. Sales are up nearly 28 per cent so far this year, there's a solid order bank stretching months ahead, and the brilliant new MG4 is about to arrive in showrooms.

Now Auto Express can reveal that the whole MG line-up will be refreshed or replaced by the end of 2024, while the brand is set to be electric-only by 2027.

First up after the arrival of the MG4 hatchback will be the updated MG5 estate, arriving by the end of the year and already previewed with sharper styling, improved interior quality and upgraded tech. Towards the middle of 2023, the MG4 range will be boosted by a hot model, as Guy Pigounakis, MG Commercial Director, explained in an exclusive interview with Auto Express.

"We're bringing out a high-performance version of MG4 in about six months," he said. "It gives us the option of erring on the side of comfort with the standard car because of the very high-performance, twin-motor derivative."
