MG is set to transform its electric and hybrid vehicle lineup with advanced technologies designed to deliver more power, efficiency, and comfort.

The automaker is developing its new Hybrid+ system at its engineering center in Frankfurt. Expected to debut in the upcoming MG S9 plug-in hybrid, the system introduces electric turbos and specialized motors that drastically reduce noise and vibration.

According to MG senior engineer Qiu Jie, the electric turbo can spin at astonishing speeds of up to 70,000 rpm, enhancing both performance and efficiency. The Hybrid+ system also uses digital damping technology, where sensors detect engine vibrations and the electric motor actively cancels them. This results in a quieter, smoother, and more comfortable ride, while conserving energy that would otherwise be lost as heat. A larger 1.83 kWh battery supports the new system, enabling faster, more seamless power delivery between electric and petrol engines.

In parallel, MG is rolling out a major upgrade to its electric cars. The MG 4 electric hatchback will feature a new semi-solid-state battery, branded SolidCore, later this year in Europe. Composed of approximately 95% solid material, the battery stores more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries, allowing for longer driving ranges, faster charging, and better performance across different temperatures.

Safety is a key feature of SolidCore. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, which can catch fire under damage, MG claims the new battery is highly resilient. Tests show that even when crushed or drilled, the battery does not ignite or spark. Its blend of solid and gel-like materials with lithium and manganese enhances stability and prevents thermal runaway.

MG aims to make its future vehicles more powerful, smoother, quieter, safer, and efficient, ushering in a new era of electric and hybrid mobility.
