China - The second model in MG's Cyber line debuted at the Shanghai show in concept form, with impressive features.
The MG Cyber X has a square body and a matte black exterior. A special highlight is the headlights that can pop up when in use and retract when the engine is turned off.
The model was created by veteran Slovakian car designer Jozef Kabaň. He worked for Volkswagen, BMW, and Rolls-Royce before joining SAIC in April 2024, where he was in charge of design for the MG brand.
While the body is matte black, the A and B pillars are glossy black. The 5-spoke two-tone rims are silver and black. The cockpit and connectivity system were developed together with smartphone manufacturer Oppo.
Speaking to Autocar magazine, Kabaň explained that the Cyber X has a completely different approach to the Cyberster roadster, demonstrating MG's versatility. He also mentioned that the retractable headlights are a tribute to the Ferrari Testarossa.
In concept form, the Cyber X is 4,300 mm long. The interior design is still under wraps. MG has not yet announced the specifications or price of the Cyber X. According to CarNewsChina, the car is expected to launch next year.
MG plans to launch eight new electric models in the next two years, including large SUVs, sedans, and sports cars. In 2025, MG confirmed that it will launch two more models in addition to the Cyber X: a five-seat SUV and a compact electric sedan.
In March, MG unveiled the new MG4 - its first global electric vehicle. The small hatchback will launch in China in the second quarter and in Europe later this year.
Also in March, MG sold 10,000 vehicles in China, up 82.6% from 2024.
