MG’s EV Strategy: Entering the Premium Segment

Under SAIC, MG previously presented entry-level EVs like the ZS EV. Now, with premium models like the Cyberster, S5 EV, and IM6, MG is aiming to challenge competitors such as Tesla, Audi e-tron, and BMW i5.
MG is leveraging IM Motors (a collaboration between MG, Alibaba, and SAIC) technology to enhance its global image and position itself as a high-end brand in Europe.

The hill climb will showcase MG’s latest performance advances—the IM6’s 3.4-second 0–100 km/h time makes it a record contender.
A strong presence at FOS will reinforce MG’s status as a global EV competitor.
In 2024, MG sold 240,000 units in Europe; with the new models and performances, 2025 holds high expectations.
