The all-new MG4 Electric goes official on a new platform with up to 450 km of range

30 June 2022, 04:48:55

MG Motor has unveiled the all-new MG4 Electric - a full-electric hatchback that happens to be the first model from the brand based on the intelligent new MSP (Modular Scalable Platform) developed by MG's parent company SAIC Motor. The intelligent, modular architecture offers many benefits in terms of flexibility, use of space, safety, driving experience, weight saving, and advanced technologies.

With a length of 4287 mm, a width of 1836 mm, and just 1504 mm in height, the five-door hatchback is perfectly suited to its competitive environment. The MG4 Electric offers a comfortable and spacious cabin with enough space for a family of five while maintaining sleek and sporty proportions. In addition, its balanced 50:50 weight distribution allows better handling, more direct steering movements, and fast cornering. In combination with rear-wheel drive, the new MG4 Electric ensures optimum driving pleasure.

The low height of the car is made possible by its particularly flat battery. The MG4 Electric uses the flattest battery developed by SAIC Motor. With a height of just 110 mm, it’s even the thinnest battery in its class. The MG4 Electric will initially be available with battery capacities of 51 kWh and 64 kWh, allowing a range of up to 350 and 450 km respectively, according to the WLTP cycle.

Further variants of the MG4 Electric are planned, as well as all-wheel drive. For the larger battery, the electric motor transfers a maximum output of 150 kW to the rear axle, and 125 kW in the 51 kWh battery version respectively. The MG4 Electric accelerates from 0-100 km/h in less than 8 seconds, while the top speed is set at 160 km/h.

The MG4 Electric is currently undergoing a final, 120,000‑kilometer endurance test under various conditions in Europe and is expected to be launched in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2022.
