MG previews electric Go supermini for 2027 launch to rival Renault 5
By Eve
MG has unveiled the Go concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, previewing a production electric supermini due in 2027. The four metre long model will compete with the Renault 5 and Mini Cooper, positioned as a fashionable rather than budget offering. MG design boss Jozef Kaban confirmed the concept closely reflects the production intent, with styling references to historic MG models but a forward looking design.
Why it matters: The 2027 launch adds another competitor to the growing small electric vehicle segment, potentially expanding charging demand in urban and residential settings. MG's shift upmarket from budget positioning may influence infrastructure specifications and customer expectations at charge points serving this vehicle class.
