The MG4 is a darling in the EV world.
Because of its Chinese origins, its unfortunately not available in the US for tariff and trade reasons.
Frankly, it ticks all the boxes.
Heres why I continue to love it so much.
That’s saying something, isn’t it?
like do excuse the number plate it wasnt my choice.
The XPOWER then introduces some more sporty features, like a track mode and gorgeous orange calipers.
And that leads us to the big question how is it to drive?
Does all that make for a great car?
The AWD XPOWER aced the assignment too.
Id appreciate more buttons, but it’s a perfectly serviceable arrangement.
And on the outside, the car is gorgeous in a subtle way.
Its slightly longer and wider than a Toyota Corolla and looks much better.
What else do you need?
Ive no problem with computers becoming engrained in the automotive experience, provided that the software is good.
Its aggressivelyfinein the MG4, but its an obvious weakness.
Icons are also often small and difficult to read.
On this front, MGs closest competitor BYD is running circles around the former British automaker.
The driver assistance lane-keeping feature is also very finicky.
This isnt unique to the MG4, but I have certainly experienced better, particularly from Polestar and Hyundai.
This can be disabled in the MG4 too, but it sucks that it needs to come to that.
Itd be useful for many families and drivers, but its not an option unless you modify it yourself.
At the height of the range, the XPOWER trim starts at 36,495 / AU$57,704.
But the joy of the MG4 is that its mostly fine as-is with that awesome price.
Just double-check youre across the safety features and toggles.
