Key highlights
- JSW MG Motor India has unveiled MG ADAPT, India’s first multi-powertrain New Energy Vehicle (NEV) platform
- Supports EV, HEV, PHEV and REEV powertrains on a single architecture
- One electric vehicle and one plug-in hybrid model will debut on the platform by FY2026-27
JSW MG Motor India has taken the wraps off MG ADAPT (Advance Drive Architecture Platform Technology), a new modular platform that will underpin the brand’s next generation of electrified vehicles in India.
Unlike conventional vehicle platforms that support a single type of powertrain, MG ADAPT has been designed to accommodate electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and range extender electric vehicles on the same architecture. The company says its first EV and first plug-in hybrid model based on the new platform will be launched during FY2026-27.
Focus on efficiency and performance
The new architecture has been engineered to improve several aspects of vehicle performance, including:
- Driving range
- Fast-charging capability
- Overall efficiency
- Safety
- Driving refinement
Its modular design is also expected to reduce product development time and allow MG to introduce new models more quickly.
Hybrid-specific technologies
One of the highlights of MG ADAPT is its integrated hybrid system.
It combines:
- Dedicated hybrid petrol engine
- Dedicated battery pack
- 10-in-1 Intelligent Electric Drive Unit
- Electromagnetic Dedicated Hybrid Transmission
An intelligent energy management system continuously switches between four drive modes depending on driving conditions.
Drive Modes
- Pure Electric Drive
- Series Hybrid Drive
- Parallel Hybrid Drive
- Engine Direct Drive
The platform also supports Range Extender Electric Vehicle (REEV) technology, where the electric motor drives the wheels while the petrol engine functions only as a generator to recharge the battery.
First models arrive next year
JSW MG Motor has confirmed that one electric vehicle and one plug-in hybrid vehicle based on the ADAPT platform will make their debut in FY2026-27.
While the company hasn’t revealed which models will use the architecture first, ADAPT is expected to form the foundation for several future MG products in India.
