MSP
Modular Scalable PlatformSAIC's EV platform behind the MG4 — the price-breaker that woke Europe up — with a striking flat 'one-pack' battery design that keeps the car low. RWD as standard, with both LFP and NMC packs in the range, and even an electric roadster (Cyberster) on the same architecture. Note when trading in: the second-generation MG4 from 2025 does not sit on MSP but on SAIC's E3 architecture, with front-wheel drive.
MSP is the EV platform of SAIC (MG), in production since 2022, with a 400V architecture. The MSP platform carries 4 models from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on MSP runs from 340 to 545 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
