MG Teases Seven‑Seat EV on New ADAPT Platform as Pre‑Bookings Open

The long‑wheelbase SUV will arrive as an electric model on August 26 with a plug‑in hybrid planned later, marking MG’s push into larger family EVs in India.

Overview

  • JSW MG released official teasers confirming a three‑row, 2+3+2 seven‑seat SUV that will be the first production car on its ADAPT electrification platform and is due to launch on August 26, 2026.
  • Pre‑reservations opened in India on August 13 with a booking fee reported at around ₹21,000, but MG has not yet confirmed final model name, pricing, or India‑spec variants.
  • Media outlets link the India model to sister‑brand Wuling’s Starlight 560 / Eksion family, and published overseas figures suggest a front‑motor EV around 201–204 hp with a ~69 kWh LFP pack and a claimed CLTC range near 530 km; these specifications are unconfirmed for India and may change after local testing.
  • MG and outlets report an expected PHEV to follow the EV launch; the overseas PHEV uses a 1.5‑litre petrol engine, an electric motor and a ~20.5 kWh battery with a claimed electric range of about 125 km under CLTC, but India power and range figures are pending certification.
  • Teasers and spy details point to family‑oriented packaging and kit such as a large touchscreen, digital driver display, panoramic sunroof, three‑row charging/ventilation and ADAS features, and the rollout could shift buyer choices higher in India’s midsize SUV and EV market.
