MG Just Changed Hybrids Forever!
In my last video, I showed you how MG is rethinking hardware with their Solidcore battery. Today, the hardware is only half the story. Welcome back to Tech in the Car! Today we are looking at the massive software and powertrain announcements from MG Tech Day 2.
We dive deep into the new Solidcore x Plug-In Hybrid+ system, the ridiculous new 43% thermal efficiency engines, and how MG is literally turning your smartphone into your car key. With their new One Touch iAD, you can park your car from outside the vehicle—including an insane reverse feature that remembers your path for 100 metres!
Plus, we look ahead to 2027 and 2028 as MG rolls out Highway NOA and talks Level 4 Robotaxi development. I also give my initial thoughts on the stunning new MG Go and MG Cyber concept cars that feel like true spiritual successors to classic British design.
