At the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show->ke2470, MG->ke56 unveiled the CS Concept car, which according to the first details, could make it to production as a competitor for models like Nissan Qashqai. Also, in 2017, MG plans to unveil a second crossover based on the MG Icon concept that is set to take on models like Nissan Juke->ke3600.
But, alongside the new production version of the CS, MG Motors also plans to unveil a new sports car, but not in the next five years.
