MG RX8: The First Seven-Seater SUV from MG in the UAE

Launch of the MG RX8

Al Yousuf Motors, the exclusive retail partner for MG in the UAE, launched the all-new RX8 SUV at its showroom in Dubai. This marks the first ever seven-seater from the British-born brand, with the RX8 entering a segment MG has not previously occupied. Impressively spacious, the MG RX8 boasts the largest wheelbase and the largest third-row space in its class, setting it apart from its competitors.

CEO Remarks

Mohamed Yousuf, CEO of Al Yousuf Motors, commented: “The new MG RX8 is a true challenger model in the compact SUV sector. Not only is it the first ever seven-seater in MG’s 95-year history, but it also offers unrivalled levels of space, premium features, and in-car technology. I am confident that our discerning customers here in the UAE will not find a better package in terms of equipment and value for money in any other seven-seat SUV on the market.”

Stylish Design

In terms of styling, the RX8 is bold with:

• Chrome grille
• 20-inch alloys
• Matrix-style LED lights
• Six exterior color options

These features give it a commanding presence on the road. Inside, the MG RX8 flaunts premium finishes at mainstream prices. Quality materials, including wood grain, chrome, and soft-touch trim, provide the RX8 with a high-class feel.

Performance Specifications

The MG RX8 is powered by a 220HP 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine featuring Net Blue Technology, developing a maximum torque of 360Nm. It is paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shift gear change. To tackle lesser-travelled roads, the RX8 is equipped with a real-time 4x4 Torque on Demand (TOD) system that offers six different drive modes.

Availability and Pricing

The MG RX8 is now available across the UAE with a starting price of AED 88,750, which includes a six-year or 200,000km warranty as standard.
