The aim is to combine sporty performance and energy efficiency in a 100% electric vehicle.
MG S5: Electric SUV Focused on Comfort and Technology

MG Cybester: The Electric Sports Car That Promises Impressive Performance
Closing the trio of launches, the MG Cybester will be the most powerful and exclusive model from the brand in Brazil.
The sporty convertible features futuristic design and cutting-edge technology, with a 77 kWh battery and range of 342 km.

The car features two electric motors, one on each axle, that together deliver 544 hp of power and 73.9 kgfm of torque.
With this configuration, the Cybester accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, according to MG Motor.
The model aims to compete with luxury electric sports cars, such as the BYD Seal.
Expansion of MG Motor
With the support of SAIC Motor, one of the largest manufacturers in China, MG Motor arrives in Brazil with the goal of building a solid foundation for growth in the electric vehicle segment.
The plan for expanding dealerships and launching modern models shows that the company intends to compete on equal footing with the established major brands.
If it meets the timeline by 2026, MG Motor could become one of the references in electric mobility in Brazil, reinforcing the country’s transition toward a cleaner and more technological automotive future.
