JSW MG Motor to launch a raft of new pure electric and hybrid/plug-in hybrid models by next year
Following the ICE-only Majestor, JSW MG Motor is likely to launch three electrified SUVs in India by next year. The company is planning a mix of locally manufactured and imported models. Around October, JSW MG Motor will launch the MG IM6, a D-segment SUV-coupe that will compete with the Tesla Model Y.
Internationally, it is offered in a single-motor RWD variant and a dual-motor AWD variant. The former features a 402 hp/500 Nm motor and a 96.5 kWh NCM battery pack. It hits 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 235 km/h. It covers a distance of 625 kilometres on a single charge, as per WLTP.
The dual-motor AWD variant, with 742 hp and 802 Nm of torque, hits 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds but achieves only a marginally higher top speed of 239 km/h. It has the same 96.5 kWh NCM battery pack, which gives it a WLTP range of 505 kilometres. JSW MG Motor may offer only the single-motor RWD variant in India. The company is likely to import it as CBU and sell it through MG Select dealerships.

Sometime between October and December, JSW MG Motor will launch a new locally manufactured D-segment SUV in plug-in hybrid electric and pure electric variants. Internally referred to by the codename ‘MG 520,’ it will be a rebadged version of the Wuling Starlight 560, which is internationally available in 5- and 7-seat versions. India is said to get the three-row version.
In the Chinese version, the plug-in hybrid variant combines a1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that develops 105 hp and 130 Nm of torque with an electric motor that generates 194 hp and 230 Nm of torque. The latter is powered by a 20.5 kWh LFP battery pack, which delivers a CLTC range of 125 kilometres.

The pure electric variant employs a 134 hp/200 Nm motor and a 56.7 kWh LFP battery pack, and it can travel up to 500 kilometres on a single charge, also as per CLTC. The Indian configuration could be slightly different.
Sometime in 2027, JSW MG Motor will likely launch the successor to the MG ZS EV. This model will likely be based on the SAIC Intelligent Global Modular Architecture (SIGMA) multi-energy platform. We expect it to be larger than the ZS EV, measuring 4.4-4.5 metres in length. No other details are available at this point, but chances are JSW MG Motor could launch a hybrid or plug-in hybrid sibling of the same model for a greater mass appeal as well.
