Kaban’s arrival signals a new era for MG as it marks its 100th anniversary
MG has confirmed that Jozef Kaban (51), has joined the company, accepting the role of Vice President at the company’s Global Design Centre. A highly respected automotive designer, Kaban’s role will entail developing MG’s global design language as the brand celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024.
Having graduated from the Royal College of Art in London in 1997, Kaban specialises in transportation design. At just 25 years of age, he crafted the iconic Bugatti Veyron, making waves in global automotive circles and solidifying his reputation as a design prodigy of the early 21st century.
With experience at several prestigious automotive companies, Kaban served as the former Audi exterior chief designer and held design director roles at renowned brands such as Skoda, BMW, Rolls Royce, and Volkswagen.

“We are proud of MG’s design legacy. Our region has positively accepted MG’s new design philosophy, and we will keep on introducing more futuristic designs and technology in MG cars. Our aim is to be a brand that provides good-looking, reliable, and high-quality products,” stated Tom Lee, Managing Director, MG Motor Middle East.
