MG Starlight 560 launch expected by Diwali 2026 To rival Mahindra XUV 7XO and XEV 9S
We informed you earlier that JSW MG Motor India will introduce an all-new SUV, which will be based on the Wuling Starlight 560. The SUV has been spotted testing multiple times on the Indian roads. This time around, the new MG Starlight 560 has been spotted charging at a parking. This suggests that the SUV will come with an electric powertrain; however, MG has already confirmed that it will introduce PHEV and strong hybrids in our market.
The new MG Starlight 560 SUV will come with both PHEV and electric powertrains. This SUV is likely to come with 7-seats configurations and measure longer than the XUV 7XO. The global-spec model measures 4745mm in length, 1850mm in width and 1755mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2810mm. It is around 50mm longer than the Mahindra XUV 7XO, along with a longer wheelbase.
Engine Specifications
The MG Starlight 560 PHEV powertrain will feature a 1.5L petrol engine, an electric motor and a 20.5kWh battery pack. It offers a combined power and torque output of 194bhp and 230Nm, respectively. The SUV offers a pure electric range of 100km and a total range of 1100km (including the 52-litre fuel tank), as per the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC).
On the flip side, the electric version gets a 56.7kWh battery pack, and a front-axle-mounted electric motor offering 134bhp and 200Nm. The electric SUV should offer a range of around 450-500km on a single charge.
Competition
The new MG Starlight 560 PHEV will be positioned against the Mahindra XUV 7XO, which will also receive a strong hybrid powertrain in 2027. Its EV version will rival the Mahindra XEV 9S, Kia Carens Clavis EV, BYD eMax 7 and others in the category.
Key Details
The new SUV will come with a minimalist dashboard layout with an integrated dual screen setup, comprising a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system and an 8.8-inch digital driver’s display. In terms of features, the SUV gets connected car tech, automatic climate control, ambient lighting, multiple USB charging ports, panoramic sunroof, OTA updates, premium leatherette upholstery and others.
