The first generation of MG Motor’s all-new MG ONE has arrived in the Middle East. Available in three trims, the 2023 MG ONE will strengthen the British-born brand’s model portfolio, offering customers even more style, technology and travelling comfort at great value prices.
The MG ONE harnesses the latest technology with the introduction of SAIC Motor’s self-developed all-new modular SIGMA architecture platform, housing a 1.5 Turbo unit delivering 181 hp and max. torque of 285 Nm – powering the vehicle to a top speed of 195 km/h. All models are equipped with an innovative seven-speed continuously variable transmission for smoother, more efficient gear changes and optimum reliability. The arrival of the MG’s newest SUV is set to help the brand reinforce its position in the top six Middle East car makers.
The self-developed SIGMA architecture platform has been designed to optimise the interior space, with up to 70 per cent efficiency. The architecture compresses the mechanical space to help balance the exterior and interior space. As an all-in-one modular platform, it can house a range of all-electric, and hybrid powertrains, as well as regular internal combustion engines. This advanced electric architecture creates a smart car experience for MG’s new generation of vehicles.
The all-new sporty mid-size SUV’s aggressive look is emphasised by a new three-dimension front grill, shifting downwards, flanked by sharp-looking LED headlamps. The MG ONE’s athletic look is highlighted through a dual-tone colour scheme, a low and wide stance, sloping roofline, giving it a couple-like silhouette, split rear protruding lights and a distinctive sport spoiler with a cut-out.
Designers of MG ONE emphasised on the use of sound and light technology to create a high-tech cabin built for a new generation of tech-savvy customers living in urban spaces. Through a unique surround-type trip screen, Arkamys sound system, dual-coloured sports seating, and drive by wire gear system, providing a new smart experience for drivers and passengers. The aesthetically designed cabin is padded with soft materials to ensure total comfort for occupants during their journey. There are plenty of storage spaces and even a wireless mobile phone charger on top-of-the-range models.
The impressive specification levels include the availability of leather seats, a 12.3” virtual cluster panel with a trip computer, a six-way electric driver seat with lumbar support, four-way electric passenger seats, a panoramic sunroof, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, GPS navigation, as well as front, side and curtain airbags.
Cruise control, push-button ignition, keyless entry, and a rear-view camera are all fitted as standard, with a 360-degree parking view camera on full option models, to give the driver full control and peace of mind on their journey.
Occupant safety is prioritised in the all-new MG ONE by the installation of a body structure that comprises over 65 per cent high-strength steel to minimise the impact of any collision by absorbing the energy.
Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, refers to the all-new MG ONE as the latest in the company’s SUV offerings. This tech-focused compact SUV not only complements the company’s current product line-up but also provides customers with an exciting new option priced competitively.
Prices will be announced shortly according to each market. All-new MG ONE models will benefit from the brand’s acclaimed six-year per 200,000 km warranty, for ultimate peace of mind.
