The upcoming MG2 electric vehicle is set to make a significant impact with its competitive pricing. At a starting price of £20,000, it is expected to undercut many rivals, including the anticipated Volkswagen ID.1, by a substantial margin.
This price point positions the MG2 as an affordable option in the EV market, potentially making it accessible to a wider audience.
The vehicle promises to offer a range of over 250 miles on a single charge, which is impressive for its price segment.
MG’s strategy with the MG2 reflects their ambition to challenge established brands and capture a significant share of the electric car market, particularly in the city car segment.

MG 2 Concept to Debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2026
MG will unveil a concept car previewing its upcoming small electric vehicle at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, targeting the affordable small EV market in Europe.
Key Details:
- The new model is expected to be called the MG 2, measuring approximately four metres in length, and will sit below the £23,495 MG 4 Urban in the lineup
- It will rival small EVs such as the Renault 5, BYD Dolphin Surf, and upcoming Volkswagen ID Polo
- The production car is expected to arrive toward the end of 2027
- It will likely use the same front-wheel-drive E3 electric platform as the MG 4 Urban, with a 42.8kWh battery
- A semi-solid-state battery option may also be offered, improving cold-weather range and cell safety
- The MG 2 will feature a European-focused design, developed in the UK, to better suit regional tastes
- It forms part of MG’s plan to expand its European model range to up to 18 models within two years
- The model could be built at MG’s new European plant, potentially operational as early as 2027, which would help avoid current tariffs on China-built EVs
