MG Wants To Out-Mini Mini With Its New Electric Concept

MG is working on a small electric city car for 2027.

The GO! concept previews a production hatch and looks a lot like a Mini, with MG heritage cues.

If MG gets the price and design right, this could be its most interesting EV yet.

Ever since China’s SAIC got the rights to the MG brand, it has mostly produced pretty generic vehicles, usually just rebadges or slightly modified versions of what SAIC sells in China, with the one notable exception being the Cyberster. However, it looks like the MG is finally digging into the brand’s British heritage with its latest concepts, one of which previews a future electric subcompact.

The pint-sized MG GO! Unveiled at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the new Mini looks a lot like the current Mini, with the same bug-eyed fascia and similarly shaped faux grille. If this study were wearing a Mini badge, you wouldn’t give it a second thought, even if it’s far from being a copy.
