MG4 (2026) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Strong value compared with key rivals	Not as roomy or practical as a Volkswagen ID.3
Enjoyable to drive	Infotainment system is fiddly to use
Generously equipped across the range	Reliability could be an issue

Quick Summary

The MG4 marks MG's coming of age for the 21st century as an affordable, very likeable electric hatchback. Built on the Modular Scalable Platform designed solely for electric cars, it benefits from a flat floor and slim battery pack, creating an airy interior with a modern, slimline dashboard. The MG4 is offered in several versions: Premium Long Range with 288 miles of range, Premium Extended Range with 338 miles, and the performance-focused XPower with dual motors and 429bhp. All models feature impressive standard equipment including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and a 12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The MG4 is genuinely impressive to drive, with rear-wheel drive (except XPower) making it agile and lively. Its relatively soft suspension delivers a smooth, supple ride whilst maintaining good grip in corners. Charging performance is competitive, with 64kWh versions supporting rapid charging from 10 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. Running costs are reasonable at 3.5–4.0 miles per kWh, and the MG4 holds its value well compared with many rivals. With distinctive design, up-to-date technology, competitive pricing, and a broad range of specifications, the MG4 represents strong value for money.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking an affordable electric hatchback, those wanting enjoyable driving dynamics, and buyers looking for generous equipment and strong residual values.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum interior space and practicality (the Volkswagen ID.3 is roomier), buyers wanting an intuitive infotainment system, or those concerned about long-term reliability.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the MG4 if: You're seeking an affordable electric hatchback with strong value, enjoyable driving dynamics, generous equipment, and good residual values.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum interior space and practicality, want an intuitive infotainment system, or have concerns about long-term reliability.

Competitive Position: The MG4 is a strong contender in the affordable electric hatchback market, offering excellent value compared with key rivals like the Volkswagen ID.3 and Cupra Born. Whilst the ID.3 is roomier and more practical, the MG4 undercuts it on price and delivers more enjoyable driving dynamics. The MG4 also holds its value well, making it an attractive proposition for those financing via PCP. With its distinctive design, up-to-date technology, competitive pricing, and broad range of specifications from long-range daily drivers to high-performance variants, the MG4 represents a highly sensible choice for budget-conscious electric car buyers.
