MG Motor Philippines Showcases New Energy Lineup at 14th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit

MG Motor Philippines showcased its growing New Energy Vehicle (NEV) lineup at the 14th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS), held at the SMX Convention Center Manila from October 22 to 24, 2026.

Organized by the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP) under the theme “Driving ASEAN Forward,” this year’s summit brings together automotive brands, industry stakeholders, and technology providers to highlight developments shaping the region’s electric mobility landscape. MG’s participation aims to introduce more Filipino motorists to electrified driving and show how its expanding lineup can meet a range of mobility needs.

Visitors to the MG booth can get a closer look at three models: the MG4 Urban EV, MG S5 EV, and MG HS PHEV. Together, they showcase different approaches to modern mobility, from fully electric driving to the flexibility of plug-in hybrid technology.

Recognized as the 2026 Best Electric Small Car in the UK and Australia, the MG4 Urban EV is designed for practical, engaging urban travel. It offers an all-electric range of up to 403 kilometers, along with three steering modes and four regenerative braking settings, including One-Pedal mode. A spacious cabin, generous legroom, and 30 storage compartments add to its everyday versatility.

The MG S5 EV pairs sporty styling with fully electric performance and everyday comfort. Built on a dedicated EV platform, it features rear-wheel drive and multi-link rear suspension for a balanced driving experience. Its international recognition includes the 2026 Best Affordable Car Technology Package of Europe award, as well as distinctions in Singapore and Thailand in 2025. The model is powered by a CATL battery.

For drivers seeking both electric efficiency and long-distance flexibility, the MG HS PHEV combines a 21-kWh battery—providing an all-electric range of up to 120 kilometers—with a total driving range of up to 1,300 kilometers. Its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and electric motor deliver a combined output of 272 PS. The cabin features a 12.3-inch infotainment display, wireless charging, and MG Pilot safety technologies. The model was named PHEV of the Year in the UK for 2025 and 2026.

MG’s presence at PEVS reflects its efforts to broaden access to New Energy vehicles in the Philippines. By offering both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the brand aims to give customers more options as they consider alternatives to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles.

“Participating in the Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit allows us to connect with more Filipino motorists and give them a closer look at the possibilities of New Energy mobility,” said Wei Wei Zhang, president of MG Motor Philippines. “At MG, we believe that the transition to electrified driving should come with choices that suit different needs, lifestyles, and driving preferences. Through models like the MG4 Urban EV, MG S5 EV, and MG HS PHEV, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to making innovative automotive technology and more accessible mobility solutions available to Filipino customers.”

The 14th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit was held from October 22 to 24, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City. Visitors had the opportunity to explore the MG4 Urban EV, MG S5 EV, and MG HS PHEV at the MG booth and learn more about the brand’s New Energy lineup.
