After much anticipation, wait and multiple testing spy shots of the camouflaged SUV, MG has finally teased its new seven seat electric SUV in India. Pre reservations are open for Rs 21,000. The reveal is scheduled for August 26, 2026.
The new SUV is important for MG because it is the first Indian model based on the ADAPT platform. MG says this architecture can work with several electrified powertrains. The EV will launch first, followed by a plug in hybrid.
ADAPT Platform And Powertrain Plans
The ADAPT platform can support battery electric, strong hybrid, range extender and plug in hybrid systems. It can also work with 400V and 800V electrical layouts.
MG has not shared the final India specific battery and motor figures yet. The related Wuling Eksion EV uses a 69.2kWh LFP battery with a front mounted motor. It makes about 201hp and 310Nm, with a claimed CLTC range of 530km.
The India model could get similar hardware, but its final specifications will be confirmed at the launch.
What The Teaser Shows
The teaser gives a few clear clues about the SUV. It has a tall stance, long bonnet, large glass area, roof rails and a wide body. The design takes inspiration from an Allied fighter aircraft used during World War II.
Key points –
- Rectangular LED headlamps
- Twin element LED daytime running lights
- Large alloy wheels with two tone finish
- Roof rails and roof spoiler
- Pull type door handles
- Black lower body cladding

It may measure 4,745mm long, 1,850mm wide and 1,755mm tall. Wheelbase is expected at 2,810mm. MG has also added some India specific styling details, including different C pillar artwork and a knurled finish for the front grille.
Seven Seat Interior
The teaser confirms seven seats with a bench style second row. The cabin has a beige theme and panoramic sunroof. Other expected equipment includes a large touchscreen, digital driver display, wireless charging and automatic climate control.
