MG could have sub-£20,000 small EV by end of 2021

Could the Roewe Clever be the basis of MG's new Supermini?

MG is expected to launch a compact all-electric hatchback by the end of this year.

The new EV which will be called Supermini is expected to be a new affordable option that will be able to rival the Renault Zoe, one of the most appreciated low-cost EVs currently on the market.

The Roewe Clever went on sale in China in March 2020.

The new vehicle is expected to borrow battery and powertrain technology from MG’s other UK-market EVs, or other vehicles from MG’s parent company SAIC, such as the Roewe Clever. In fact, the UK company has been concentrating its effort on producing a wide range of electric vehicles. We reported that this strategy has been a success as almost one third of MG sales in September were EVs.

Among the all-electric vehicles offered there is the MG5 EV which is powered by a 115kW electric motor (equivalent to 156PS) that provides an acceleration of 0-60mph in 7.3 seconds, with a 52.2kWh battery. It also has a decent range of 214 miles in normal day-to-day use. This rises to 276 miles if the car is used solely for urban driving, as confirmed by the WLTP City driving cycle. The car has a starting price of just £24,495 after the Plug-In Car Grant (currently £3,000), which enabled it to win Best Value EV in our recent 2020 awards.

The company also offers one of the most affordable all-electric SUVs in the UK at a starting price of just £25,495 with the top-of-the-range model costing just £27,995. The MG ZS EV has a 44.5 kWh battery and a motor that produces 141bhp of power with a top speed of 87mph. The vehicle has a decent 163-mile range.

Since the company has concentrated its efforts on creating affordable electric vehicles, it is expected that the new ‘low-cost’ hatchback is likely to be offered at a price significantly lower than that of other compact EVs currently on the UK market such as the Honda E and Mini Electric, and possibly less than £20,000.
