MG Rover: eight new feature in the next 5 years

After the difficulties of past years, when he finished into administration before being bought by China's SAIC, MG Rover has come to the moment of revival, which is announced in a big way, at least as stated by those responsible for the British brand. The coming years will be decisive for the reaffirmation of a historic brand in the market that threatened to end in oblivion.

MG Rover has therefore prepared a series that will be added to the diNovo MG6 and will go on the market within the next five years. These eight new models, which commenced as early as 2012, when it comes out the MG3, a new compact B-segment that will play all the style and agility resulting from small size.

For this model should be the first gasoline engine of 1.5 liters, but has distinguished himself in the past for consumption certainly not small and not in line with current trends, but would have expected more then a park and a turbocharged diesel engine 1.0 1.4, which is also equipped with a turbocharger.

Also in 2013 should also provide a sporty version that will bring some attention to performance. It will be the year of 2014, however, the real turning point, when MG Rover will put on the market as many new and all quite interesting. We will start with the Mg5, a midsize sedan also available in station wagon version with engines of 1.5 and 1.8 liters, followed by the flagship MG7 then carried out on the same platform as the Opel Insignia and which British engineers should reserve a 2.0 turbo petrol liters.

Also in the 214 version also debuted the MG3 SW and a new electric vehicle that will be the version of the MG Rover SAIC E1, characterized by the ability to recharge to 80% of its capacity the battery in just 30 minutes, with a range of 145 km and a maximum speed of just under 120 km / h.

The recovery work will be completed in 2016, when MG TF roadster will arrive renewed, which should have its 2.0 turbo engine mated to a manual six-speed transmission that will also be used on the MG7. The return of MG Rover under the direction of China will be characterized by the desire to bring to market a complete range, where there are versatile and compact models, accompanied by more ambitious models and a sport, not to mention the electric variant that has become almost a requirement for any manufacturer.
