MG has confirmed that Jozef Kaban (51) has joined the company, accepting the role of Vice President at the company’s Global Design Centre.

Kaban will have specific responsibility for developing MG’s global design language and joins the company at an exciting time, with MG celebrating its 100th anniversary and the arrival of the high-performance Cyberster EV roadster later in 2024.

MG will also unveil its latest concept car at the Beijing motor show later this week, the EXE181, which draws inspiration from the land-speed record-breaking EX181 from 1957.
