MG Motor UK has just reached a landmark in its UK home market with the sale of its 100,000th electric vehicle (EV).
The vehicle was sold on Friday, 31 October, and comes six years after MG introduced the first edition of the MG ZS EV. More MG EV models have followed, including the MG4 EV hatchback as well as the MG5 EV estate car.
In the summer of 2023, MG unveiled one of the UK’s first two-seat EV production convertibles. With a potential 0-62mph sprint time of just 3.2 seconds, the Cyberster aims to reconnect MG with its sporting past and challenge the perception that EVs lack character and driving engagement, it said.
The current MG EV range includes the MG4 EV, MGS5 EV, MG IM5, MG IM6 and the flagship MG Cyberster. MG also offers a range of hybrid and petrol models, such as the MG ZS Hybrid+ SUV.
Guy Pigounakis, Commercial Director of MG Motor UK, said:
“We’re proud that MG has played a meaningful role in driving the growth of electric mobility in the UK and supporting the nation’s Net Zero ambitions.
“Reaching 100,000 EV sales is a major achievement for our brand and a reflection of the trust our customers place in us. We will continue to expand our line-up with even more choice, even more value, and advanced technology that makes electric driving accessible to all.
“Whilst we have successfully embraced new mobility technology – especially hybrid and battery electric vehicles – as a brand we retain MG’s essential spirit and a sense of adventure. That means offering our MG4 EV in a bold Volcano Orange, as well as an XPOWER model which delivers a thrilling 435PS of power output or designing arrow-shaped rear lights for the flagship Cyberster that incorporates a subtle Union Jack pattern.”
