MG4: THE BARGAIN OF THE CENTURY?

EV Channels Review

Robert Llewellyn expresses significant frustration that the MG4 wasn't available sooner, highlighting its exceptional value proposition. He praises the car as a sensible, practical, and well-built family hatchback, built from the ground up as an EV. The "Trophy" trim, with its 64 kWh battery offering around 280 miles of range, is the focus. Key positives include the intuitive "MG4" name, the clever modular platform enabling RWD and future AWD variants, and the surprisingly good build quality and interior space for its size. The vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability via an adapter is noted as a significant plus. While the exterior styling, particularly the rear, is described as "challenged," the overall driving experience is lauded for its rear-wheel-drive dynamics, 50/50 weight distribution, and confident handling. The reviewer finds the interior simple and user-friendly, with good standard tech like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The standout feature is the price: starting under £26,000 for the SE model, it significantly undercuts competitors like the VW ID.3 by around £10,000. The upcoming "Performance" model with AWD is also mentioned with anticipation.
