MG Confirms Smallest SUV Yet for Australia – Coming Soon to Tynan MG Sutherland

The MG SUV family is about to get even bigger — by getting smaller. In an exclusive report via Drive.com.au, MG has confirmed plans to introduce its smallest SUV yet, set to hit Australian showrooms in 2027. This new city-sized SUV will slot in below the popular MG ZS, giving local buyers an even more affordable entry point into the MG range.

At Tynan MG Sutherland, we’re excited to see how this upcoming model could shake up the compact SUV market and rival budget-friendly competitors from Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Chery, and Mahindra.

MG’s New “Light SUV”

MG Motor Australia CEO Peter Ciao confirmed the brand’s entry into the ‘light SUV’ segment, which includes rivals like the:

• Toyota Yaris Cross
• Mazda CX-3
• Hyundai Venue
• Suzuki Fronx
• Chery Tiggo 4
• Mahindra XUV 3XO

Currently, MG’s most compact SUV is the MG ZS, which has been one of Australia’s top-selling budget SUVs. But with the ZS now starting from $25,990 drive-away, this new pint-sized model will target the sub-$25,000 price bracket, offering a new level of affordability for drivers.

Aiming for Value Without Compromise

While the new SUV is expected to be petrol-powered rather than electric — to keep costs down — MG has stressed it will not cut corners on safety.

Peter Ciao told Drive:

“All the MG new models coming to Australia, we'll only focus on five-star. No compromise.”

This follows lessons learned from the previous MG ZS safety ratings, with future models engineered from the ground up to achieve a five-star ANCAP rating.

Why This Matters for Australian Drivers

MG has set its sights on becoming a Top Three automotive brand in Australia by 2030, and this new SUV will play a big role in reaching that goal. Compact, affordable, and equipped with modern safety and tech features, it’s designed to appeal to:

• First-time car buyers
• Families looking for a reliable second car
• Urban drivers who need a smaller footprint without sacrificing practicality
