The MG Cyber X is the newest addition to MG’s electric SUV lineup, blending rugged boxy styling with cutting-edge EV technology. Targeted at younger, style-conscious drivers, this compact SUV is expected to be an affordable yet futuristic option for the Nepali market.
Range: Up to 482 km on a single charge (semi-solid-state battery)
Platform: Built on SAIC’s advanced E3 EV platform with CTB (cell-to-body) tech
Design: Retro-inspired boxy SUV styling with pop-up headlights and LED light bars
Technology: Powered by MG’s Zebra 3.0 OS, Horizon J6 chip, and advanced connectivity
Price Estimate: Around USD 40,000 (approx. NPR 53–55 lakhs, before taxes)
The Cyber X stands out with its boxy, upright design, evoking comparisons to premium models like the Mercedes EQB and Defender EV concepts.
Exterior highlights include:
Pop-up headlights with LED signature
Wraparound front and rear light bars
Illuminated MG badge on the rear
Strong, squared-off stance ideal for city roads and light off-road use
This styling direction was led by Jozef Kaban, the designer behind Bugatti Veyron and ex-BMW and Škoda head of design.
The E3 EV platform is MG’s new global architecture designed for flexibility and performance.
Key platform benefits:
CTB (Cell-to-Body) battery integration for stronger structure and better safety
Modular design for multiple battery sizes & drive configurations
Optimized cabin space thanks to flat floor design
This platform is the backbone of MG’s next generation of EVs, including the Cyberster roadster and upcoming Cyber family models.
One of the biggest talking points of the Cyber X is its semi-solid-state battery. Unlike traditional lithium-ion packs, this advanced battery promises:
Better cold-weather performance – important for hilly and high-altitude regions of Nepal
Longer range – up to 482 km on a full charge
Faster charging speeds (expected, depending on charger availability)
This makes the Cyber X a practical choice for daily commutes as well as longer road trips across Nepal.
Inside, the Cyber X is expected to feature a clean, minimal design with maximum digital integration.
Interior highlights:
Large central touchscreen infotainment system
Digital instrument cluster for full driving data
Spacious cabin with enhanced legroom and headroom
Premium materials and modern design cues
Tech features include:
Zebra 3.0 operating system with advanced voice control
Horizon Robotics J6 chip for smart navigation and driver monitoring
OPPO-powered phone-to-car connectivity for seamless integration
Semi-autonomous driver assist features

While MG has not officially confirmed the Cyber X’s launch in Nepal, the brand has a strong EV presence locally with models like the MG ZS EV. With an estimated global price of USD 40,000, we can expect the Cyber X to retail in Nepal in the NPR 1.2–1.5 crore range after taxes and import duties.
If introduced, it will compete against:
Hyundai Kona EV
BYD Atto 3
Tata Nexon EV Max
The Nepali EV market is rapidly expanding, with government incentives and increasing charging stations driving demand. The MG Cyber X fits well because:
Long Range – 482 km reduces range anxiety on long routes like Kathmandu–Pokhara.
Boxy Design – Rugged styling appeals to younger, adventure-seeking buyers.
Affordability – Positioned cheaper than premium European EVs but richer in features.
MG’s Network – MG already has a service and sales presence in Nepal.
The MG Cyber X is not just another EV—it’s MG’s push towards youth-oriented, tech-rich, and adventure-ready SUVs. With its semi-solid-state battery, retro-futuristic design, and affordable positioning, it has the potential to become one of the most exciting EV launches for Nepali consumers in the coming years.
If launched in Nepal, the Cyber X could redefine how compact electric SUVs are seen: not just eco-friendly, but also stylish, practical, and future-proof.
