MG 4 EV (2023)
MG 4 EV
The new MG4 EV is an all-electric hatchback designed to offer customers affordable, zero-emissions motoring without compromise.
With an extremely competitive £25,995 starting price, MG’s first fully-electric hatchback optimises space, technology, affordability and driving quality.
The MG4 EV is the first to use the innovative new Modular Scalable Platform (MSP) that will underpin a new generation of MGs, featuring rear-wheel drive, 50:50 weight distribution and thin battery technology.
Three specifications will be offered at launch - the MG4 EV SE Standard Range, the SE Long Range and the Trophy Long Range.
With battery capacities from 51kWh to 64kWh, the MG4 EV Standard Range is capable of 218 miles on the WLTP cycle, with Long Range SE and Trophy models capable of 281 miles and 270 miles respectively.
This remarkably affordable range of battery options gives customers the opportunity to find their most suitable driving specification and price point.
The 64kWh battery is also capable of recharging at up to 135kW, meaning a charge time of only 35 minutes from 10% - 80% using a 150kW DC rapid charger.
The MG4 EV is expected to bring zero-emissions motoring within reach for far more UK customers, representing an affordable, credible alternative to conventional petrol, diesel and hybrid hatchbacks.
The MG4 EV also carries MG’s trademark 7-year/80,000-mile warranty as standard, which remains one of the longest fully-transferable warranties in its class.
