JSW MG Motor India made waves at the Auto Expo 2025 with an impressive showcase of its innovative vehicles. Among the highlights were the highly anticipated Cybertser electric sports car, the M9 MPV, and the Majestor SUV, all set to launch in India soon. Complementing these, MG unveiled several models from its global lineup, including the premium IM 5 sedan, the IM 6 SUV, the new MG 7 Trophy fastback, and the ZS PHEV. Here’s an in-depth look at these exciting vehicles.
IM 5 and IM 6: Intelligent Mobility at Its Best
Part of the EV-exclusive IM brand, launched in 2020 by MG’s parent company SAIC Motor in collaboration with Alibaba and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, the IM 5 sedan and IM 6 SUV exemplify futuristic design and technology.
Both models share a sleek, aerodynamic aesthetic with flared fenders, striking L-shaped LED headlamps, and a full-width LED tail-light bar. Despite their different body styles, the two vehicles maintain a cohesive design philosophy.
The standout feature of these models is their advanced solid-state battery technology, which offers faster charging and enhanced safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. With a 100kWh battery pack, these vehicles boast an impressive range of over 600 km. The electric motors deliver 778hp and 802Nm of torque, complemented by features like four-wheel steering for superior handling.
Inside, the IM 5 and IM 6 come equipped with a cutting-edge 26.3-inch panoramic display, an additional 10.5-inch vertical screen, and a futuristic yoke-style steering wheel. Advanced technologies, including ultra-long-range LiDAR, the NVIDIA Orin X chip, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, ensure a seamless and intelligent driving experience.
MG 7 Trophy: A Fastback with Flair
The MG 7 Trophy redefines the sporty fastback sedan with its low, dynamic silhouette and bold design elements. Featuring muscular rear haunches and crisp character lines, the Trophy exudes sophistication and performance.
Powering this fastback is a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 261hp and 405Nm of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The interior is equally impressive, blending luxury and sportiness with a dual-screen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and premium sports seats.
ZS HEV and HS PHEV: Green Mobility for the Future
MG’s lineup at the Auto Expo also included the ZS HEV, a hybrid version of the globally popular MG Astor. While MG has yet to confirm hybrid options for the Astor in India, the design updates on the ZS HEV could inspire a mid-life facelift for the Astor.
The ZS HEV boasts a refreshed exterior with a larger grille, slimmer headlamps, and distinctive LED daytime running lights. Inside, the cabin offers a larger touchscreen, an updated steering wheel, and a revised instrument cluster. Powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine combined with an electric motor, it delivers a combined output of 196hp and 465Nm.
The HS PHEV, slightly larger than the ZS, features a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid powertrain producing 299hp and 350Nm of torque. Its 24.7kWh battery allows for an impressive electric-only range of over 100 km, making it a compelling choice for eco-conscious drivers.
Conclusion: MG’s Vision for Tomorrow
MG Motor’s display at the Auto Expo 2025 highlighted its commitment to innovation, performance, and sustainability. With groundbreaking models like the IM 5, IM 6, MG 7 Trophy, ZS HEV, and HS PHEV, the automaker is set to redefine the future of mobility, offering a blend of advanced technology, luxury, and green energy solutions.
