MG reveals two electric concept cars at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026 — Details here!

MG has unveiled two new concept cars at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026 in the UK. The MG GO! and the MG Cyber Concept made their world debut at the event, making it one of the brand's biggest design showcases in recent years.

Each concept previews a different future production model. While neither is a production-ready model, both offer a clear look at what's coming next. The MG GO! previews a compact electric hatchback, while the MG Cyber Concept hints at a full-size electric performance SUV.

MG GO! previews a compact electric hatchback for 2027

The MG GO! is positioned as a preview of a new B-segment electric hatchback that MG plans to launch in 2027.  Rather than being a purely nostalgic design study, the concept takes a retro futuristic approach, borrowing visual cues from some of MG's most recognisable models from the middle of the last century, including the MGB GT. 

The concept was designed at MG's Design Centre in London under Design Director Carl Gotham. He says the goal was to create a compact and modern hatchback that still carries the warmth and charm associated with MG. The design also takes inspiration from models such as the MG Metro Turbo, MG ZR, and MG EX4.

MG Cyber Concept signals a D-segment electric performance SUV

The second concept, the MG Cyber Concept, takes a completely different approach. Its design is inspired by the iconic EX181 land speed record car.  According to MG, the Cyber Concept is built around the idea of "performance without compromise." It features muscular proportions, a wide stance, and sculpted bodywork. MG has also positioned the Cyber Concept as a flagship model, indicating that the production version could sit at the top of its future SUV lineup.

What MG's design leadership had to say

"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 crucially creating something with strong charisma.” said Carl Gotham, Design Director of Advanced Design, London.

Commenting on the bold vision of the MG Cyber Concept, Jozef Kabaň, Vice President of Global Design, said: “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. It should make people stop, smile and want to discover more. Our MG concepts express this vision for the future of the brand. Because great design is never just about the car. It’s about people, their experiences and their dreams. Our role is to inspire them and create products that enrich their journey through life.”

MG's future EV design direction

The MG GO! and Cyber Concept offer an early look at the brand's future design direction. They show how MG plans to expand its electric lineup beyond its current range of models, including the Comet EV, ZS EV, Windsor, and Majestor. Future offerings are expected to include everything from compact hatchbacks to large performance SUVs.

MG has not confirmed whether these production models will be launched in India. However, the design language showcased at Goodwood is expected to influence future global models, including those that could eventually arrive in the Indian market.
