MG Motor UK has just reached an impressive landmark in its UK home market with the sale of its 100,000th electric vehicle. The milestone was met on Friday 31st October.
Originally the quintessential British sportscar manufacturer, MG celebrated its 100th Anniversary at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking over a century of automotive excellence. Today, MG continues to build on this notable heritage as a leading force in electric mobility, delivering affordable, fun-to-drive battery electric vehicles to customers across the UK.
“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,” says Guy Pigounakis, Commercial Director of MG Motor UK.
“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.”
In 2019 MG introduced the first edition of the MG ZS EV – a popular and practical SUV – with a highly competitive on-the-road price of £24,995 which made it ideal for families looking for a first EV. More MG EV models have followed including the multiple award-winning MG4 EV hatchback as well as the business friendly MG5 EV estate car.
In the summer of 2023, MG unveiled the UK’s first two-seat EV production convertible. With a potential 0-62mph sprint time of just 3.2 seconds and the dramatic exterior design created at the company’s London Studio, the Cyberster reconnects MG with its illustrious, sporting past and challenges some perceptions that EVs lack character and driving engagement.
Striking and bold EV concept cars like the MG Cyberster Black and the urban explorer MG Cyber X also strongly underline MG’s creative ambitions to develop a completely new generation of stylish EVs with powerful, distinct and exciting identities.
The current MG EV range includes the MG4 EV, MGS5 EV, MG IM5, MG IM6 and the flagship MG Cyberster. MG also offers an extensive range of highly efficient hybrid and petrol models, the MG ZS Hybrid+ SUV has proved to be notably popular with both business and private buyers and was the UK’s best-selling hybrid during the first six months of 2025.
