MG4 FIRST DRIVE REVIEW | EAST ANGLIAN ROAD TRIP

EV Channels Review

Rob Wilson embarks on an East Anglian road trip in the MG4 Trophy, finding it to be a surprisingly accomplished electric hatchback that significantly undercuts its rivals on price. He is impressed by the spacious interior, comfortable ride, and minimalist cabin design, noting its practicality for rear passengers despite a slightly high floor due to the battery. The reviewer highlights the Trophy trim's features, including a heated steering wheel and 360-degree camera, while acknowledging the infotainment system's reliance on the touchscreen for climate controls. Performance is deemed adequate, with a 0-60 mph time of 7.7 seconds for the Trophy model. A key concern raised is the reported oil leaks on some early models, a peculiar issue for an EV, though MG's 7-year warranty and apparent fixes offer some reassurance. Ultimately, the MG4 Trophy is presented as a compelling value proposition, offering a strong alternative to more expensive competitors like the VW ID.3, with the reviewer preferring its aesthetics and price point.
