While the teaser shows a sunroof and the front-end, new spy shots reveal the Cloud’s interior will feature free-standing touchscreen and digital instrument cluster.
Just a month after the last round of India-spec MG Cloud spy shots surfaced online, new images have come to light that provide details on the upcoming EV’s interior. MG Motor India has also released a new teaser of its upcoming EV before Cloud prices are revealed during this year’s festive season.
- Cloud for India to get two screens, steering-mounted controls and more
- To get minimalist dashboard with horizontal creases over AC vents
- New Cloud teaser shows sunroof, LED light bar and headlights
MG Cloud interior, features
While most of the dashboard of the model spied is covered, a few details can be gleaned. It seem like the India-spec Cloud EV will have the same fully-digital instrument cluster and large, floating infotainment touchscreen seen on the model for Indonesia, where it is sold under the Wuling brand name. Other details that can be seen include the two-spoke steering with controls for the infotainment system and the the horizontal slats that span the length of the minimalist dashboard, which cover all four AC vents.
The teaser sent out by MG Motor India today also hints that the crossover will come with a sunroof. In addition, the Cloud will sport slim all-LED headlights and have an LED light bar on the nose above the grille area, connecting the headlight units. The MG logo also seems to be illuminated.
As the Cloud is a born EV, it has the interior packaging advantages that are typical of the breed, which should bode well for this 5-seater. The model aboard also gets fully reclinable front seats (to enable a ‘sofa mode’), circular door-mounted speakers, a 360-degree camera, and an ADAS suite. It remains to be seen if these features will make it to the India-spec Cloud.
MG Cloud exterior, design
Previous spy shots of the Cloud EV on test showed that the crossover’s overall silhouette is a bit of a cross between an MPV and a hatchback, though MG Motor India calls it a CUV: crossover utility vehicle. Like the interior, the exterior also follows a minimalist design with flush door handles, clean surfaces, and full-width LED light bars at the rear as well as the front. While the Cloud does have a large glasshouse and extended quarter glass sections, the front and rear windscreens are sharply raked.
MG Cloud battery, range
While the battery specs for the India model are still under wraps, in international markets, the Cloud gets two battery pack options: a 37.9kWh with 360km of range and a 50.6kWh unit with up to 460km. In either case, the battery powers a 134hp front axle-mounted electric motor.
MG Cloud price, rivals
As we’ve reported earlier, MG Motor India is targeting a sub-Rs 20 lakh price tag for the Cloud EV, when it arrives this festive season. This means that it’ll slot between the Comet on on end and the ZS EV on the other, and compete against electric compact SUVs like the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400. Essential for MG to achieve the aggressive price point will be extensive localisation efforts, including the battery pack.
