What Happened
At the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026, MG unveiled two electric concept cars: the MG GO! and MG Cyber Concept. The MG GO! is a compact B-segment hatchback due in production form in 2027, designed with retro-futuristic inspiration from MG's classic models like the MGB GT. The MG Cyber Concept is a large D-segment performance SUV inspired by the EX181 land speed record car, combining practicality with sports car emotion.
Both concepts were designed at MG Design Centre in London. The MG GO! aims to bring genuine emotional appeal to the electric mainstream, while the Cyber Concept explores performance without compromise in an SUV body. Jozef Kabaň, Vice President of Global Design, emphasized that great design creates cars with strong identity that people emotionally connect with.

- MG4 EV Urban (front-wheel-drive hatchback, launched 2026)
- MG HS Plug-in Hybrid (ranked 1st out of 59 plug-in hybrids in UK review)
- MG ZS Hybrid+
- MG IM5 (premium technology-focused model)
- MG Cyberster (all-electric roadster)
“With MG GO!, we wanted to create something compact and contemporary, but also warm, expressive and immediately likeable, an embodiment of all that we admire about the MG brand. It is not about looking back for its own sake, but about capturing some of the clarity, charm and emotional appeal that have always made MG so distinctive, and reinterpreting that in a way that feels relevant today and cruc”
“Great design begins with people, not products. Technology and innovation are essential, but they can be shared. Character cannot. The future of automotive design is about creating cars with a strong identity that people instantly recognize and emotionally connect with. Great design should spark curiosity, excitement and desire.”
