MG4 EXTENDED RANGE REVIEW | MORE SMILES FOR MORE MILES?

EV Channels Review

Rob Wilson reviews the 2024 MG4 Extended Range, highlighting its significant improvements in range and performance over previous models. He praises the car's attractive pricing, starting at £36,500, and its impressive WLTP range of 323 miles, achieved through a larger 77 kWh battery. The reviewer notes the increased power output, delivering 245 PS and a 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds, placing it in hot hatch territory, and confirms its rear-wheel-drive setup contributes to a fun chassis. Positives include the car's styling, value for money, and the addition of a rear wiper. However, criticisms are leveled at the interior, particularly the infotainment system's reliance on the touchscreen for essential functions like climate control, and the odd steering wheel shape. While the real-world range at 5°C was around 270 miles, Wilson is confident it can exceed 300 miles in warmer conditions. Despite some interior drawbacks, the MG4 Extended Range is presented as a compelling option for those seeking maximum miles for the least amount of money.
