Expanding further, MG Motor India has also stated that the new EV crossover will be based on a global offering that will be reworked for the Indian market. The new crossover is expected to be based on a new global architecture that was possibly previewed by the MG One. The new structure is stated to be very flexible and can support over 100 different modules which will spawn a full range of body styles like hatchbacks, notchbacks, sports cars, off-roaders and SUVs.

The MG EV crossover should come with a roughly 30 to 40 kWh battery pack and should be good for a 200 to 300 km real-world range. A single-motor set-up can be expected with segment-matching power and torque figures. We can also expect to see significant fast-charging capabilities.
