At
the 2012 Beijing Auto Show MG will present the Icon Concept, a midsize SUV with
a design inspired by the brand’s classic model.
At
the upcoming Beijing Show (25 April – 2 May 2012), MG is unveiling the Icon
Concept, which – as the name suggests – adopts a design influenced by MG’s
heritage.
More
specifically, the front end with the round headlights and chromed grille and
the fastback rear end have some reminiscences of the MGB GT of the 1960s.
The
interior is more futuristic and features a symmetric dashboard with integrated
LCD displays.
Among
the main design elements are the metal-finished stripes that run in the door
panels and along the lower area of the dashboard and the three circular air
vents at the center of the dashboard, visually recalled by the steering wheel
center piece.
The
rear seats can be folded to leave space for a flat cargo area.
According
to the first information the car – developed by SAIC designers – is based on
the Roewe 350 and could be launched on the market with a 1.5 liter gasoline
engine and a choice between front- and all-wheel drive transmission.
