MG Motor Philippines continued to push the boundaries of modern mobility as it previewed the new MG G50 PHEV at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2026. Marking a significant step in the brand’s electrification journey, the G50 PHEV represented MG’s vision of practical, family-oriented mobility—now enhanced with advanced plug-in hybrid technology.
Positioned as a more powerful and fuel-efficient evolution of MG’s popular people carrier, the G50 PHEV introduced a 1.5L 4-cylinder plug-in hybrid powertrain paired with a new Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, delivering a more refined and responsive driving experience. This advanced electrified system enabled smoother acceleration, improved fuel efficiency, and quieter everyday driving, seamlessly combining the instant torque of an electric motor with the reliability of a gasoline engine. The system produced 299 PS peak combined output and 280 Nm of torque, further enhancing its capability as a modern family vehicle.
With a pure electric driving range of up to 95 kilometers, complemented by a 60-liter fuel tank, the G50 PHEV offered the flexibility of electric driving for daily commutes and extended range for longer journeys. Altogether, the vehicle delivered a factory-rated total combined range of up to 1,415 kilometers, truly offering the best of both worlds.
Designed with modern families in mind, the G50 PHEV featured a spacious and premium cabin configuration, complete with captain seats and a three-seater third row, ensuring comfort and versatility for every passenger. A panoramic sunroof further enhanced the in-cabin experience, creating a more open and elevated atmosphere for both driver and passengers.
The G50 PHEV also showcased a newly designed dashboard anchored by dual 12.3-inch displays for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system, seamlessly integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for intuitive connectivity. Exterior highlights included automatic projector LED headlights and a bold, modern design language that reflected MG’s global design direction.
For families seeking practicality without compromise, the G50 PHEV presented a compelling solution—offering the benefits of electric mobility for daily driving while retaining the flexibility of a gasoline engine for longer journeys. This dual capability provided added confidence and convenience, making the transition toward electrified mobility easier and more accessible for Filipino families. With its powerful PHEV system, spacious interior, and extended driving range, the G50 PHEV set a new benchmark for electrified MPVs—bringing together performance, efficiency, and everyday versatility in one forward-thinking package.
As part of MG Philippines’ showcase at MIAS 2026, the G50 PHEV represented “The Next Wave” of the brand’s product offensive—a bold step toward the future of mobility defined by smarter, more efficient, and more versatile vehicles. With offerings that spanned diesel, gasoline (ICE), hybrid (HEV), full electric (EV), and now plug-in hybrid (PHEV), MG continued to provide Filipino car buyers with a complete range of mobility solutions tailored to their evolving needs.
