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.
