MG Marvel R 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.
The range of the British manufacturer MG, which has been under the Chinese flag since its rebirth (SAIC group), is enriched by two new 100% electric models. The compact station wagon MG5 Electric and the electric SUV MG Marvel R , which join the SUV ZS EV launched last year, and the large plug-in hybrid SUV HES Plug-In Hybrid. After the MG5 Electric, let’s take a closer look at the Marvel R Electric.
SUV MG Marvel R
The iconic MG brand, better known for its small sporty roadsters from the 1960s than its recent electric vehicles, could be a game changer in this highly competitive market. Active since the unveiling of its first 100 percent electric ZS-EV model last year, the Chinese-flagged company is simultaneously unveiling two new models: the MG5 Electric compact station wagon and the MG Marvel R Electric SUV.
Both are 100% electric and already have improved technical characteristics compared to the ZS EV, whose range is limited to just 263 km on the WLTP cycle. The Marvel R Electric will be placed above the ZS EV in terms of dimensions and performance, with 4.67 m long against 4.31 m, for a width and height of 1.92 m and 1.62 m respectively (1.81 m and 1.64 m for the ZS EV). Thanks to its 2.80 m wheelbase, which allows the installation of a large battery pack between the axles, the Marvel R Electric promises a range of more than 400 km (approval pending).

MG surprises us again with the arrival of the new all-electric SUV Marvel R in the range. Much less conventional than its little brother ZS EV, the manufacturer’s new mid-size SUV (size equivalent to a Peugeot 5008 or a Mercedes GLC ) displays a style of its own with a fine and aggressive light signature at the front overlooking two massive triangular vents that accommodate additional lights on either side of the bumper. The rear is strangely reminiscent of an Audi e-Tron with its light band running through the tailgate and ending in a slightly wider optic at its ends. Its overall appearance thus represents a real attractiveness and could ensure real market success if it keeps its promises of autonomy (> 400 km). It remains to discover an essential data element of the equation to predict a good career for it: its price.
The MG Marvel R Electric is powered by a 100% electric technology called “Tri-Motor” that combines several blocks with a total power of 212 kW (288 hp) and a torque of 665 Nm. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is thus guaranteed in just 4.9 seconds, while from a standstill it takes just 1.8 seconds to exceed the 50 km/h mark. Its top speed is limited to 200 km/h, but it is not made for speed records anyway.
This means that five people and (light) luggage can be comfortably transported on board with a trunk with a volume of 357 liters (1,396 liters with the rear seat folded down). A two-wheel drive version of the Marvel R Electric will also be available and will offer 150 liters of additional space in the front trunk (“trunk”).
Electricity simple and efficient
To facilitate long journeys, the MG Marvel R Electric can regenerate 80% of its battery in 30 minutes via quick charge. It also allows the connection of electrically powered accessories thanks to V2L technology and 2,500 W sockets. Driver assistance is provided by MG Pilot technology, while essential information is displayed on a 12-inch digital screen, 3 inches behind the wheel. A huge 19.4-inch tablet in portrait format is located in the middle of the dashboard, inclined in the extension of the center console. The interior thus displays a simple, sober, efficient and modern style, with a very limited number of buttons.
Price MG Marvel R
The model is available for pre-order, with an expected European price range of €40,000 to €50,000 (incl. VAT). The progressive and luxurious MG Marvel R Electric – available in two configurations (AWD and RWD) and three luxury trims (Comfort, Luxury and Performance) – is set to revolutionise the EV segment with its stunning design, outstanding quality and finish, and loads of advanced technology, including a comprehensive range of MG Pilot driving aids and the new MG iSMART connectivity system with 19.4-inch touchscreen.
