MG has announced more specifications of its all-new, much-anticipated MG4 EV – an all-electric hatchback centred around four key qualities: space, technology, affordability, and driving quality.
The striking new MG4 EV will offer drivers a “winning combination of innovation, practicality, value, and fun”.
The all-electric hatchback range promises to offer UK customers affordable zero-emissions motoring. Three specifications will be offered at launch – the SE Standard Range, the SE Long Range and the Trophy Long Range, in six colours namely Arctic White, Holborn Blue, Black Pearl, and Dynamic Red, Camden Grey, and Volcano Orange.
The Standard Range is priced from £25,995, Long Range from £28,495, and the Trophy Long Range from £31,495. Additional details regarding pricing and specifications will be announced closer to the September vehicle launch date.
“We believe our new MG4 EV will be an enticing proposition for customers seeking an affordable electric car without compromise. The potential of the innovative Modular Scalable Platform is considerable and is set to deliver some exciting new MGs over the coming years,” said Guy Pigounakis, commercial director at MG Motor UK.
Specifications
With MG4 EV, the British automaker – whose history dates back to 1924 – is introducing its Modular Scalable Platform (MSP). The advanced platform will offer drivers “superb road-holding and engagement”, thanks to 50:50 weight distribution, a rear-wheel drive configuration, and a low centre of gravity afforded by the battery design and placement, according to the automaker.
The EVs, which will all have a seven-year warranty, will initially be available with battery capacities from 51kWh to 64kWh. The 64kWh battery is also capable of charging up to 135kW, meaning a charge time of only 35 minutes from 10 – 80 per cent using a 150kW DC rapid charger.
The comprehensively equipped MG 4 EV SE trim will be available with Standard Range or long-range batteries, both equipped with the company’s MG Pilot advanced driver assistance system, automatic LED headlights and rear lights, rear parking sensors, 17in alloy wheels, adaptive cruise control, automatic climate control, and MG iSmart app connectivity.
Long Range SE models also include MG’s innovative Active Grille Shutter System (AGS), which regulates airflow according to vehicle requirements. This improves aerodynamic efficiency by up to 30% and can increase EV range by as much as 10%.
The MG4 EV Trophy specification will be the highest available at launch, capable of 270 miles on a single charge thanks to a long-range battery as standard. These models will also include Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Lane Change Assist (LCA), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Additionally, a two-tone roof, rear privacy glass, twin aero-rear spoiler, leather interiors with electric driver’s seat, heated front seats and steering wheel, Bluetooth key, satellite navigation, 360 camera, wireless phone charging, and an upgraded MG iSmart system compatible with live services are all standard.
The simple, elegant interiors will be packed with hi-tech features, including a 10.25in floating infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity and a 7in driver display.
