Jozef Kabaň is the new chief designer at MG Motor

Jozef Kabaň will be responsible for the design language of MG models in the future. The former designer for Audi, Skoda, BMW, Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen has been appointed Vice President of SAIC Motor's Global Design Center. The 51-year-old Slovakian is best known for the Skoda Vision C, which paved the way for the Czech brand's current design language in March 2014 and has since been implemented in numerous models.

Kabaň began his career as a designer at Volkswagen and then moved to Audi, where he became Head of Exterior Design in 2007.
