Exclusive First Look: MG’s Bold New Future! GO! Hatch, Cyber SUV and Self-Driving Tech Revealed

MG tech Day Go! Concept Cyber Concept
Ahead of their global debut, I got exclusive access to MG’s future plans, including two striking new concept cars, next-generation hybrid technology, semi-solid-state batteries and autonomous driving systems that could soon be reversing themselves out of dead ends

If you still think MG is simply the company making affordable electric family cars, think again. I was invited to MG’s London headquarters for an exclusive technology preview, and what unfolded wasn’t merely another product presentation. It was a statement of intent. From a cheeky little electric hatch that wears its British heritage proudly on its sleeve, to a dramatic performance SUV concept, plus a roadmap for hybrid powertrains, semi-solid-state batteries and autonomous driving, MG is making it abundantly clear that it wants to be seen as far more than just a value brand.

The Future of Motoring: Driverless Cars vs Restomods. Has Driving Become So Miserable We’re Ready to Give It Up?

Driverless Cars vs Restomods
Artificial intelligence is bringing us closer than ever to autonomous cars, yet at exactly the same time classic cars and restomods are booming. Coincidence? I don’t think so

The other day I found myself driving around London. Well, “driving” might be stretching the definition somewhat because most of the time you’re crawling along, staring at the back of somebody else’s hatchback while trying to remember whether this particular road is still 30mph, has become 20mph, or was quietly changed last Tuesday while you weren’t looking. And it got me thinking that perhaps the future of motoring isn’t going to be electric versus petrol, hydrogen versus batteries or even SUVs versus saloons. Perhaps the real battle is going to be something entirely different. Perhaps the future is going to be driverless cars versus restomods. Bear with me, because the more I thought about it, the more it actually started to make sense.

Britain’s Car Industry Just Sent an SOS to Government Over ZEV Mandate

SMMT asks for ZEV Mandate revision
The UK’s car makers say the ZEV Mandate is running ahead of reality. Is it time for a rethink before Britain loses jobs, investment and manufacturing?

The British car industry has just issued one of its strongest warnings in years. Not about Chinese competition. Not about Donald Trump’s tariffs. Not even about electric cars themselves. This is about Government policy.

The Digital Car Parts Scandal: Why Your New Car Could Reject Perfectly Good Spare Parts

Part pairing
Remember when broke a headlight and replaced it with a £50 used replacement bought from the scrap yard? That’s no longer possible. Put a non-authorised replacement part in your modern car and it might reject it and shut down the whole car! Parts are now locked to the VIN of your car! Rip-off or great anti-theft security feature?

Remember when fixing your car was… well, fixing your car? Let’s say you clipped a wall and cracked a headlight. The dealer quoted you £500 for a replacement. You laughed politely, wandered down to your local scrapyard, picked up a perfectly good used one for fifty quid, fitted it yourself in an hour, and everyone lived happily ever after. Those days are disappearing. On many modern cars, fitting a second-hand headlight, ECU, instrument cluster, infotainment screen or other electronic component can trigger warning messages, disable functions or simply refuse to work altogether.

The 5 Car Brands That Lost the Plot in 2026

Some of the world’s greatest car manufacturers aren’t failing because they can’t build good cars. They’re failing because they’ve forgotten why we loved them in the first place

The car industry has always been cyclical. Sales rise and fall. Models flop. Companies merge, split, collapse and occasionally rise from the ashes. Automotive history is littered with famous names that simply disappeared, particularly here in Britain where once-proud marques have become little more than museum exhibits or nostalgic memories. What’s different in 2026 is that we’re witnessing something arguably more alarming.

Legacy Car Brands Are Making a HUGE Mistake

legacy car companies must not abandon brand
Car companies are obsessing over EV product while forgetting the brand heritage, emotional loyalty and lifelong connection that could actually save them

At a recent event, I was chatting to somebody who works within the legacy car industry. It doesn’t matter which manufacturer, because this relates to the industry as a whole – it’s something bigger, broader and potentially catastrophic for the entire car industry. What this person told me was that, in terms of marketing and PR budgets, their focus now is very much on product rather than brand. And I understand why. These companies have cars to sell, EV targets to hit, emissions legislation to satisfy, ZEV mandates to survive, shareholders to soothe and showroom traffic to somehow summon from the ether. But I also think this strategy could be a fundamental, frightening and potentially fatal mistake.

Car Design: BMW Gets It. Audi Pivots. Mercedes Is Clueless

Car design discussion
Has Ferrari’s biggest design misstep in decades accidentally made BMW and Audi look smarter than ever?

The Ferrari Luce may prove to be one of the most important car designs of recent years, not because it is revolutionary, not because it is beautiful, and certainly not because it has been universally admired. Quite the opposite. The reaction to Ferrari’s first electric car has been so overwhelmingly negative that it may have inadvertently transformed how enthusiasts view every major design reveal that has followed it. That sounds absurd, but bear with me.

Billionaires Have Rejected Electric Cars. Here’s Why Luxury EVs Are Tanking

The people who can afford anything appear to be choosing something else

A funny thing has happened on the road to electrification. Along the way, someone assumed that the future of luxury motoring would be silent, seamless and battery powered, that the world’s wealthiest buyers would lead the charge into a brave new era of zero-emissions indulgence, and that once the millionaires and billionaires embraced electric cars, the rest of us would naturally follow faithfully in their tyre tracks. It sounded plausible enough. After all, if anyone could afford the latest technology, it would be the people who think nothing of dropping the price of a semi-detached house on a weekend toy.
