The new SUV set to launch is expected to be built on the MG ADAPT (Advanced Drive Architecture Platform Technology), which was showcased last month. Additionally, the platform will be compatible with an all-electric powertrain (EV) and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Expected to be named the ‘Hector Hawk’, the SUV that the company is set to debut is sold internationally as the Wuling Starlight 560.
