MG's electric SUV concept with Land Rover-like styling has been revealed, but it is likely a while away from Australian showrooms if it lands locally at all.

The MG CyberX concept has been officially revealed at the 2025 Shanghai motor show – one of a swathe of new MG models due in China in the next two years – but a production version is still sometime off appearing in Australian showrooms.
The CyberX concept is the second MG introduced under its youth-oriented Cyber brand after the MG Cyberster electric sports car went on sale – including in Australia – in 2024.
Now, MG has revealed the exterior of the CyberX in full at the Shanghai motor show, but the vehicle remains a concept with no interior or further details on the SUV’s electric powertrain.
Despite not being immediately showroom ready, the new electric SUV could form part of a new model onslaught which has MG Australia aiming to become a top three best-selling brand here by 2030.
The CyberX is the first vehicle to use the new-generation ‘E3’ dedicated electric platform from parent company SAIC Motor (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation).
It also brings ‘cell-to-body’ (CTB) construction where the battery forms part of the body structure, saving weight and complexity while improving driving dynamics.
With its 2030 top-three goal, MG revealed the diesel-powered MG U9 dual-cab ute at the 2025 Melbourne Motor Show as one of a swathe of new models heading to Australian showrooms.
The MG S5 SUV is due here imminently and will be joined mid-year by the MG QS seven-seat SUV as well a cheaper entry-level MG 3 small hatchback.
The U9 – a rival to the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux and Kia Tasman – is due in Australia by the end of 2025 and will be followed by an updated MG 4 electric car in early 2026.
