MG used the Goodwood Festival of Speed to show the MG GO!, a concept previewing the design direction of its next entry-level model, widely referred to internally as the MG2. The brand has confirmed a production version arrives in Europe around the middle of 2027, and it is expected to become MG’s most affordable electric car.
The concept sets out a short, wide-tracked B-segment hatchback with sportier proportions than a typical city car. It was designed at MG’s London studio, which took the lead role, drawing on heritage cues from the MGB GT, MG Metro Turbo and MG ZR. MG describes the approach as evoking those cars’ character rather than copying their styling directly.
Full specifications have not been released. UK coverage around the reveal points to pricing near 20,000 British pounds ($27,000), which would undercut MG’s current MG4 Urban, with battery options that could stretch to around 280 miles (450 km) of range on the longer-legged variant. MG has not confirmed either figure.
Positioned as a rival to the Renault 5, Citroen e-C3, Fiat Grande Panda Electric and Volkswagen’s upcoming ID.Polo, the MG2 targets a segment of affordable European EVs where MG currently has no direct entry. For a brand that has built its European growth on larger, keenly priced SUVs and the MG4 hatchback, a genuine city car would open a price bracket it has so far left to rivals.
