The MG4 Electric 64 kWh, introduced in October 2022, is MG Motor’s breakthrough offering in the compact EV segment, combining affordability with surprising performance and versatility. This rear-wheel-drive hatchback features a usable 61.7 kWh lithium-ion battery that delivers a practical 360 km real-world range under average driving conditions. Priced competitively across Europe — starting at £29,495 in the UK — it offers great value for those seeking an entry into electric mobility without sacrificing daily usability.
Designed on SAIC’s dedicated EV platform, the MG4 is a well-rounded car for urban dwellers and suburban commuters. It supports up to 140 kW DC fast charging, reaching 80% battery capacity in just 26 minutes, making it suitable for both city errands and weekend trips. In mild weather, its range can stretch up to 535 km in city driving, while the efficient energy consumption of 171 Wh/km positions it favorably against higher-priced competitors. While it doesn’t support bidirectional V2G capabilities, it does offer Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) for powering external devices — a feature uncommon at this price point.
Beyond numbers, the MG4 is engineered for comfort, practicality, and safety. It comfortably seats five, provides 363 liters of cargo space (expanding to 1177 L), and includes a heat pump in select markets for efficient climate control. It also boasts respectable Euro NCAP safety ratings and ISOFIX compatibility. While its long-distance suitability is rated at 2.5/5, it’s well-equipped for typical daily routes. Overall, the MG4 Electric 64 kWh punches above its weight with smart design, efficient drivetrain, and rapid charging — redefining expectations in the budget EV category.
