Say hi to MG’s new boxy and rugged EV, the Cyber X

KUALA LUMPUR: Those who have tried their hands on the striking all-electric MG Cyberster roadster and are quite impressed with its striking looks and engaging driving experience, get ready for another Cyber model.

That’s right! MG has just unveiled its second Cyber model, called the Cyber X, at the 2025 Shanghai Motor Show. It is a boxy, high-riding electric SUV targeting younger buyers who seek a fresh and exciting eco-friendly ride.

While the details on the new MG Cyber X are scarce at the moment, here’s what we know so far -

Platform

As reported by Autocar, the MG Cyber X will be based on the parent company SAIC’s new E3 electric platform, touted as the  “first fully electric, system-level architecture”. 

This latest architecture can support a wide range of vehicles, including hatchbacks, SUVs, and sports cars, with the flexibility to accommodate several drivetrain configurations. Notably, the Cyber X will be among the first MG vehicles to get this new architecture.

The said platform also supports "cell-to-body” construction, which means it can integrate batteries directly into the vehicle's body, making it more strong and stable. 

Boxy and rugged design

Described as a “groundbreaking innovation” in MG’s history, the Cyber X features a modern “boxy” silhouette with rounded edges. It exudes a sleek, tech-forward look that blends rugged aesthetics with urban sophistication.

Key highlights include -  

• Pop-up headlamps
• Full-width LED light bars at the front and rear
• Illuminated MG badges
• Hidden door handles
• Roof rails 
• Dual-tone wheels

Advanced technology

The Cyber X will also come equipped with the brand-first Zebra 3.0 operating system, which offers better connectivity and voice control compared to previous versions. 

Based on the SAIC’s E3 platform, the EV will also feature the powerful Horizon Robotics' J6 chip, supporting cutting-edge features such as driver monitoring, improved navigation, and semi-autonomous driving.
