A New Era for MG in the Region
MG Motor has officially launched the all-new MG 8 PHEV, marking the brand’s first mid-size plug-in hybrid sedan in the Middle East. Combining sleek design, refined comfort, and cutting-edge technology, the MG 8 PHEV delivers an exceptional combined driving range of 1,650 km—of which 125 km can be driven purely on electric power—ensuring customers both flexibility and peace of mind on long journeys.
Earlier this year, the MG 8 set a Guinness World Record for the longest distance ever covered by a PHEV, achieving 2,208 km on a single tank of fuel and a fully charged battery—at an ultra-efficient fuel consumption rate of just 2.49 L/100 km.
Tailored for the Middle East
Engineered specifically for the region, the MG 8 PHEV underwent rigorous hot-weather testing to ensure durability and reliability in extreme summer conditions. The model is fully compliant with GSO and SASO standards, reaffirming its quality and safety credentials.
The MG 8 PHEV embodies elegance and modern sophistication, with a bold wide grille, sharp LED headlights, integrated fog lamps, and connected rear LED taillights. Its 2,810 mm wheelbase and flowing roofline give the sedan a premium, dynamic road presence.
Executive-Class Interior
Inside, the MG 8 PHEV sets a new standard for mid-size sedans, inspired by the ambience of a luxury executive lounge:
- Premium leather upholstery
- Dual 12.3-inch digital displays
- Panoramic sunroof
- Plush, supportive seating with 933 mm of rear legroom
- Refined suede stitching and upscale finishes
The MG 8 PHEV is powered by a 1.5-liter hybrid engine delivering 201 hp and 330 Nm of torque, enhanced by DMH Super Hybrid Technology, which seamlessly manages the transition between petrol and electric power. Drivers can enjoy responsive acceleration, powerful performance, and exceptional fuel efficiency, supported by five intelligent driving modes that adapt to road conditions.
A sector-first 5-in-1 PICU Controller optimizes system integration, reducing energy waste and enhancing responsiveness. NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels have also been reduced by 10% compared to competitors, ensuring a quieter and smoother ride.
