MG Is Putting Semi-Solid-State Batteries In Its Next Plug-In Hybrids

MG will bring semi-solid-state SolidCore batteries to future plug-in hybrids across three SUV segments.

Its new Plug-in Hybrid+ system uses 42%-plus efficient engines and EV-first low-speed operation.

MG claims stronger cold-weather performance, quieter EV driving and less power loss with a depleted battery.

SAIC-owned MG has big plans in Europe, where it sold 190,000 vehicles in the first half of 2026, up more than 20% over 2025. It recently revealed a concept that previews a future pure electric Renault 5 rival for Europe, which may be getting the company’s first production semi-solid-state battery.

However, MG has confirmed it plans to introduce this battery technology in three new plug-in hybrids, but it didn’t say when they will arrive.
