MG Redefines Electrification with World-First “SolidCore” Battery and Enhanced Hybrid+ Technology

Building on 101 years of British engineering heritage, MG has announced a landmark leap in EV technology: the MG SolidCore Battery. As the first global manufacturer to achieve mass production of semi-solid-state batteries, MG is setting a new industry benchmark for range, safety, and cold-weather reliability.

The announcement coincided with the official opening of MG’s European Engineering Centre in Frankfurt, Germany. This facility serves as the heart of MG’s “In Europe, for Europe” strategy, ensuring future models are precision-tuned for European climates, road conditions, and driving styles.

The MG SolidCore Battery: A New Era of EV Performance

Scheduled for integration into European models by late 2026, the SolidCore Battery addresses the primary concerns of modern EV drivers through several key breakthroughs:

Superior Range & Charging: Offers significantly higher energy density for longer distances and faster recharge cycles.
Cold-Weather Resilience: Unlike traditional EV batteries, SolidCore technology allows for immediate start-up in freezing temperatures without preheating, maintaining superior acceleration in winter conditions.
Enhanced Safety & Longevity: Solid-state electrolytes provide a physical protective barrier within each cell, extending the battery’s lifespan and ensuring compliance with the strictest future regulatory standards.

Hybrid+ Technology: Intelligent Power for the Transition

MG’s hybrid momentum is surging, with 137,000 hybrids sold in 2025—a 300% increase over the previous year. To maintain this lead, MG is rolling out its next-generation Hybrid+ system:

Segment-First 3-Speed Transmission: A world-first for the segment, optimizing "electric-first" torque for instant, responsive power.
High-Capacity 1.83kWh Battery: Larger than many competitors, enabling extended electric-only driving and lower daily running costs.
8-Mode Logic Engine: An intelligent Hybrid Control Unit (HCU) features real-time terrain detection, automatically adjusting the propulsion strategy for hills or city traffic.
Refined Experience: Advanced software integration ensures seamless transitions between the engine and electric motor while significantly suppressing cabin noise and vibration.

Engineering for Europe

With over one million vehicles sold in Europe, MG is deepening its regional roots. The Frankfurt hub, supported by the engineering teams in Longbridge and the London Design Hub, ensures that MG’s global innovation is filtered through a European lens.

"Our new SolidCore and Hybrid+ technologies position MG at the absolute forefront of its class," said Kimi Li, Vice President of MG Europe and the UK. "By developing these cars 'in Europe, for Europe,' we are making cutting-edge, high-performance electric mobility more intuitive and accessible than ever before."

Financial Disclosure

WLMG Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows WLMG Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
