Chinese firm targets Dacia spring with new MG 2 supermini, already well into development
MG plans to launch a £20,000 electric city car in the UK by the end of next year, Autocar can reveal. Speaking on the sidelines of the new MG 3's unveiling at the Geneva motor show, the firm’s product and planning boss David Allison outlined plans to expand the firm’s electric car line-up downwards below the 4, hinting at a compact rival to the Dacia Spring.
" MG's new entry model is not envisioned to undercut the circa-£17,000 Dacia Spring, but will nonetheless be comfortably among the cheapest full-sized EVs in Europe, with a price tag of around £20,000 slotting it in below the likes of the BYD Dolphin and Vauxhall Corsa Electric. MG will need to put some clear air between any new entry-level EV and the existing £25,000 MG 4 hatchback, in any case, to give it a distinct position on the market.
