MG4 (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Fantastic value for money	Not quite as accommodating for passengers or luggage as a Volkswagen ID.3
Surprisingly fun to drive	Sound system in SE models isn’t the best-sounding
Generously equipped, even in entry-level SE spec	Steering wheel infotainment controls a bit fiddly

Quick Summary

The MG4 (2022-present) is a game-changing all-electric family hatchback with futuristic styling, built on a dedicated EV platform. This allows for a spacious, modern-feeling interior with a flat floor and a minimalist dashboard featuring a large touchscreen. It's priced to compete with smaller electric superminis but offers the practicality of a larger car, with a 363-litre boot. Available in SE and Trophy trims, it offers a choice of battery sizes and impressive electric range.

The range includes Standard Range (218 miles), Long Range (up to 281 miles), and a new Extended Range (323 miles). Most models are rear-wheel drive and surprisingly fun to drive, with an agile feel and comfortable ride. For ultimate performance, the 429bhp, all-wheel-drive XPower model offers supercar-like acceleration. Running costs are low thanks to good efficiency and fast charging (up to 125kW), while exceptionally strong predicted residual values make it very affordable on finance.

Best for: Value-conscious buyers seeking a well-equipped family EV, drivers who enjoy an agile and fun driving experience, and those wanting hypercar-rivalling performance for a bargain price (XPower).

Not ideal for: Those who need the largest possible boot in the class, buyers who prefer premium brand prestige, or drivers who find touchscreen-based controls for functions like climate control distracting.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the MG4 if: You want a fantastic value, well-equipped, and fun-to-drive family EV, or you're seeking incredible performance for the money with the XPower model.

Consider alternatives if: You need the absolute maximum practicality offered by rivals like the VW ID.3, prioritise a premium badge, or dislike relying on a touchscreen for core functions.

Competitive Position: The MG4 (2022-present) has redefined the affordable EV market. It offers a package of style, technology, driving enjoyment, and practicality at a price point that significantly undercuts key rivals like the Volkswagen ID.3 and Cupra Born. While its interior quality isn’t on par with premium brands, its overall value proposition is almost unbeatable, making it a top contender for any electric car buyer. The wide model range, from the affordable SE to the ferociously fast XPower, broadens its appeal even further.
