MG Starlight 560 7-Seater Plug-In Hybrid SUV Spotted At Charging Station

MG Starlight 560 spotted during testing in Jaipur. Upcoming 7-seater electric SUV may launch in India later this year.

It looks like JSW MG Motor India has entered the final stages of testing its upcoming electric SUV, the Starlight 560. Recently spotted in Jaipur, Rajasthan, the test vehicle was seen charging at a public fast charger located inside a mall parking lot. Such a sighting suggests that testing is progressing as planned and the launch could be just around the corner.

Interestingly, the test vehicle was parked next to a Tata Nexon.ev, which helped give a better idea of its overall dimensions. Even under heavy camouflage, the SUV appeared larger than the Tata electric crossover. As far as its India-spec version is concerned, reports suggest it could be offered with a seven-seat configuration, competing against the Mahindra XEV 9S.

While the test vehicle was fully covered in camouflage, the design of the upcoming SUV is already known because it is sold in international markets as the Wuling Starlight 560. This means the Indian version is expected to remain largely unchanged apart from MG badging.

The front of the SUV features a large blacked-out grille, LED headlamps, and LED DRLs positioned around the main headlight units. A prominent skid plate on the front bumper further adds to its rugged look.

On the sides, there are squared wheel arches, body cladding, roof rails, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The test vehicle was also seen with camouflaged five-spoke alloy wheels.

At the rear, the upright tailgate gives it a slight MPV-like appearance. There is also a roof-mounted spoiler, LED tail lamps, and several premium design elements that contribute to its upscale look.
