The striking new MG Cyber concept has been revealed as a bold preview of the Chinese carmaker’s upcoming design language and will evolve into MG’s future flagship electric vehicle.

Unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the MG Cyber is a fully electric crossover measuring nearly five metres in length. MG’s design chief, Jozef Kaban, described it as a “dream car” for the brand, symbolising its next phase of premium design evolution.

The MG Cyber is intended to play a role at the aspirational, high-end side of the brand’s portfolio, just as the MG Cyberster roadster has done for MG’s sportier range. For now, the model exists as a styling concept focusing solely on exterior design, with the interior expected to be showcased later. MG has confirmed that a production version will follow in the future.

In some international markets, the model could be launched under the more upmarket IM brand, although MG’s UK Product Director, David Allison, suggested that the Cyber may not necessarily be offered to British buyers. “As a global brand selling in 100 countries across the world in significant volumes, there are vehicles sold in other regions, including China, that we may not introduce here,” Allison explained.

He further added, “It might eventually be something we bring in, but for now, it’s a concept vehicle that represents a vision and the design direction we intend to pursue.”

At Goodwood, the MG Cyber was showcased alongside the MG Go, a sporty hatchback concept that previews the forthcoming MG 2 supermini. The Cyber’s sleek proportions, dramatic lighting, and sculpted lines offer a clear indication of MG’s plans to elevate its design identity.

While the production version of the MG 2 is expected to arrive next year, the Cyber’s production model is still some time away. However, its styling cues and design philosophy are expected to influence MG’s entire future lineup as Jozef Kaban continues shaping the brand’s visual identity, two years into his tenure.

When asked whether the MG Cyber reflects his personal design statement for the company, Kaban responded, “You could say that.” He went on to explain that the concept is not only a designer’s vision but also a product of MG’s commitment to listening to customer feedback and adapting to evolving market trends.

“There isn’t a single definitive answer,” Kaban said. “Every brand seeks its own path. For us, this represents our next steps, and we will observe how customers respond.”
