Since then, MG has expanded its line-up with the budget-friendly MG5 EV estate and the MG4 EV hatchback, offering more options to customers and boosting sales. The company plans to introduce more electric models, including a two-seat sports car, aiming to transition to an all-electric line-up by 2027.
Whether you need a family car with plenty of boot space or a long-range EV for road trips, there's an electric car to fit every lifestyle.
