2022 Morgan 3 Wheeler set for February reveal

UPDATE, January 27, 2022: British marque Morgan has confirmed the unveiling date for the latest generation of its 3 Wheeler.

Having already been teased as a prototype with a Ford in-line three-cylinder engine (more on this below), Morgan has announced covers will come off the modern iteration of its classic model on February 24.

According to the low-volume manufacturer, the new 3 Wheeler is set to be the most customisable to date, featuring a design language and ethos which hasn't yet been seen across its model range.

Morgan's Head of Design, Jonathan Wells, believes his team's efforts at reviving the 113-year-old model will shine through and set the new 3 Wheeler apart from its predecessors.

"The energy and imagination that the design and engineering teams have invested into creating the all-new three-wheeled model is incredible, said Wells.

"I am confident that this will be apparent through the sheer quantity of options, quality, performance and attention to detail.”

September 3, 2021: The iconic Morgan 3 Wheeler will return for another generation, as the British manufacturer has confirmed a Ford engine will be used in the next-gen vehicle.

Having only been withdrawn from sale in the UK earlier this year after being reintroduced in 2011, the next 3 Wheeler will ditch its traditional V-Twin engine for an in-line three cylinder from the Blue Oval – likely one of its Fiesta powerplants.

No timeline has been set for the 3 Wheeler's return to the market, but it could be as soon as next year given Morgan is already testing its latest prototype as shown.

Chairman and CEO of Morgan Motor Company, Steve Morris, said the new Morgan 3 Wheeler will be influenced by feedback from current owners – yet still retain its roots, which stretch back over 110 years.

"We are thrilled to confirm plans for an all-new three-wheeled Morgan, a model which continues an incredible story dating back to 1909," said Morris.

"The outgoing 3 Wheeler was adored by customers and enthusiasts alike, and will inspire this next generation. The upcoming [car] is an all-new ground-up design, and the first whole vehicle programme to be completed under the stewardship of Investindustrial.

"Morgan’s team of engineers and designers have considered everything the company has learnt from the decade of building and selling the previous model. We look forward to sharing more about this exciting new vehicle in due course."

Morgan previously toyed with the idea of an electric 3 Wheeler, but scrapped those plans – although it's understood the prototype pictured was designed to use an electric motor rather than the Ford ICE.
