MG has officially previewed its next major electric vehicle offering, the CyberX SUV, marking the second addition to its growing Cyber sub-brand. Building on the momentum of last year’s Cyberster electric roadster, the CyberX introduces a bold, rugged design and a high-tech platform aimed at younger, lifestyle-focused buyers.
The upcoming CyberX is set to be unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show, where it will take centre stage as MG’s latest electric SUV. Early teaser images reveal a boxier, more upright silhouette than seen on MG’s current SUV range, with styling that suggests an emphasis on adventure and urban versatility. Notably, the vehicle showcases illuminated MG badges and full-width LED light bars at both the front and rear, giving it a distinctly futuristic visual identity.
Designed to compete with rivals such as the Smart #5, the CyberX also underlines MG’s broader global ambitions. While the Cyber sub-brand is currently focused on the Chinese market, the company has already launched the Cyberster in the UK and is expected to roll out more Cyber-branded vehicles internationally in the near future.
Beneath the surface, the CyberX is one of the first models to ride on SAIC Motor’s new E3 electric platform, a next-generation, all-electric architecture engineered to support a variety of vehicle sizes and formats—from compact cars to large SUVs and sports cars. This platform incorporates CTB (cell-to-body) construction, a system that integrates the battery pack directly into the vehicle’s body structure. This approach enhances rigidity, reduces weight, and improves energy efficiency.
MG has also confirmed that the CyberX will be among the first models to feature its Zebra 3.0 operating system, an upgraded digital interface developed to deliver more advanced voice recognition and connectivity features. Designed with modern tech users in mind, Zebra 3.0 reflects MG’s aim to offer a more intuitive and connected driving experience.
Powering the CyberX’s digital intelligence will be the J6 chip from Horizon Robotics, expected to play a key role in enhancing navigation, driver monitoring, and semi-autonomous driving capabilities.
While detailed powertrain and battery specifications remain under wraps, the CyberX is poised to be a technically sophisticated entry into MG’s expanding electric vehicle portfolio. As part of a broader strategy, MG plans to launch eight new models over the next two years, spanning sports cars, saloons, and SUVs—all underpinned by cutting-edge technology and a focus on electrification.
With the CyberX, MG is not only expanding its Cyber line-up but also doubling down on innovation and design aimed at a new generation of drivers, setting the stage for a dynamic presence in the global EV market.
