MG 4

Model reviewed: 77kWh Trophy Extended Range
Score: 7.8 / 10
“After a week with the MG 4, it’s hard to imagine why you’d want to buy any petrol-powered family hatch for the same money. If you can charge at home and your usual driving doesn’t involve long journeys, the MG 4 is pretty much unbeatable value.”

“The MG4 Extended Range does what it says on the tin, managing to achieve impressive range figures without compromising on efficiency or its driving dynamics. But as the price of the car creeps up, so does the focus on its interior quality and digital interfaces, both of which fall short.”

“The MG4 is a stylish proposition, and is built on pure electric foundations, meaning more space inside, better range and improved tech. It also looks a lot funkier than anything MG has offered before, meaning it can compete with popular EVs like the Vauxhall Corsa-e, Renault Zoe, Peugeot e-208 and even the VW ID.3.”

“The MG 4 EV may not move any technological boundaries, but other manufacturers should undoubtedly see this car as a serious threat, because it does so many things so well, and for such a keen price that it is hard to argue you should buy any other electric hatchback.”

“MG’s managed to make a desirable car that somehow undercuts its main rival by more than £10,000. It’s loaded with kit, genuinely competent on the road and backed by a strong concoction of seven-year warranty and friendly local dealers.”

“MG cars of recent years have often come with the caveat of being good for the price. With the MG4 though, there’s none of that — it’s simply very good. Perhaps a landmark moment for the brand.”

“While I like the MG5 and ZS, neither are cars that I would describe as desirable. The MG4 on the other hand looks the real deal. The design looks seriously sharp and the return to the classic hatchback shape is a good move. This really feels like a next-generation of electric car.”

“The MG4 EV is good to drive, interesting to look at, it offers a decent range, and it’s relatively affordable – just be aware of a few interior usability issues…” (Paul Clarke)

“New car bargains are few and far between, but there’s no doubt the MG4 EV is one of them. It represents exceptional value for money, giving electric car buyers the opportunity to drive a Volkswagen Golf-sized EV for the price of a small electric city car.”

“The MG 4 is one of the cheapest electric cars on sale but it has a great deal more appeal than just its price tag. It represents staggeringly good value for money, with generous equipment levels and a spacious cabin compared to similarly priced EVs. It’s surprisingly good to drive, too, while its range will be more than adequate for most.”

“The MG 4 is an excellent all-round package: it’s stylish and comfortable, decent to drive and well-equipped. And when you consider the price, it becomes a truly compelling package – it’s easy to see why MG expects this to rapidly become its UK best-seller.”

“We’re highly impressed with the way this car drives, more than happy with the quality of the interior and the levels of equipment you get as standard and comfortable that the space on offer is enough for a small family to comfortably use. As a result it’s not just the budget brands who should be worried about this car stealing their sales – the established players ought to keep a look out too.”

“As a gateway to EV ownership, the MG4 is absolutely on the money and shames more established brands charging many thousands of pounds more for EVs which frankly offer no more than a familiar badge.”

“It’s a good car – one of the best in its class – and the fact it comes with an attractive price tag only makes it more appealing. Of course, the styling won’t be to everyone’s taste and the rear cabin is a bit dingy, but this is a really solid contender in the electric car market.”

“Choice of interior materials and touchscreen control systems notwithstanding, the MG 4 is a first-rate car which more than any other brings electric motoring nearer to a mass market (although it’s still relatively expensive). If you wanted your second car to be electric, then it’s difficult to think of reasons not to choose the MG over its much more expensive rivals.” (Andrew English)

“MG has another winner on its hands. The MG4 was the bargain of 2022 and is rightly starting to be a regular appearance on British roads. The Extended Range builds on that with enough miles to compete with the current best on the market. Combined with solid performance and handling, plus improved infotainment tech, it’s the full package. For the money, this is the best EV currently available in the UK.”

“The MG 4 EV is a game-changing electric vehicle. It’s phenomenal value, but not bargain basement. There are a few rough edges in finish, and the infotainment system still needs a few more tweaks. But it’s enjoyable to drive, is well equipped with safety technology, and delivers great range. If the price of EVs was putting you off before, the MG4 EV could be the car that changes your mind.”
