Is the MG MG4 Hatchback a good car?
Read our expert review
Words by: Catherine Kent
"The MG4’s blend of sharp looks and affordable pricing made it an instant hit, but since its launch new rivals and the Electric Car Grant have considerably altered the playing field. So, does MG’s breakthrough hit still stack up? Well, the MG4 has had a refresh, ditching its smallest battery option and gaining a new interior with updated tech. This provides some much-needed improvements and makes for a very compelling package, particularly given the MG4 is currently the cheapest EV with over 300 miles of range. Despite models like the refined Nissan Leaf, chic Volvo EX30 and roomy Skoda Elroq trying to steal its thunder, the MG4 still makes a strong case. Although for many buyers the new MG4 Urban will be all the car they need."

Running costs for a MG MG4
5/5
If you are looking for bragging rights on a budget, the MG4 is for you. The Premium Extended Range model will go 338 miles between charges while the bonkers MG4 XPower will leave supercars embarrassed at the lights and you'll still have change from £35,000. If you are after something more down-to-Earth the line-up starts with the Premium Long Range model which is cheaper than before and has an official range of 280 miles. MG is also offering compelling finance offers and its own introductory £1,500 ‘EV grant’ to keep costs down. If you can charge at home overnight on an off-peak EV tariff the MG4 will be very cost effective to run and company drivers will gain Benefit In Kind advantages for going fully electric.
Reliability of a MG MG4
3/5
MG has not fared well over the last few years in several reliability surveys with reports of glitchy software in the MG4 among the issues letting the brand down. However, this 2026 version of the MG4 has the newer infotainment system from the S5 and S6, so hopefully MG has learnt from its mistakes. For peace of mind all MG models come with a seven-year/80,000-mile warranty and there’s a large dealer network to help you out should anything go wrong.
Safety for a MG MG4
4/5
All MG4s now come with a full suite of safety systems including emergency braking, lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control. MG also throws in blind spot monitoring which we think is one of the most useful features. We didn’t find any of the systems too intrusive, but MG has included a handy shortcut button which can be configured to your preferred combination of safety aids. Additionally, you’ll get an excellent 360-degree camera with a helpful transparent view so you can see exactly where your wheels are when squeezing into tight spaces.
How comfortable is the MG MG4
3/5
Inside the MG4 has a considerably smaller boot and less rear space than the MG4 Urban, but the floor in the back is almost completely flat and provides a decent amount of legroom for up to three rear passengers. The material quality is an improvement on the previous model with soft-touch surfaces in place of some of the scratchier plastics. However, it’s still very grey-scale and lacks the flair of more expensive alternatives like the chic Peugoet E-308. All MG4s come with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat to help you get comfortable. Out on the road the MG4 is more composed than the MG4 Urban but it is still bumpy at times and lets in a bit of road noise on rougher road surfaces. We could often hear the high-pitched whine of the motor when accelerating, too.
Features of the MG MG4
4/5
The new infotainment set up is a vast improvement on the previous MG4 and while it’s still not as intuitive as the Renault Megane E-Tech’s, the 360-degree camera knocks Renault’s low-res system out of the park. There’s a new larger driver display, too, but the graphics remain small and a bit grainy. In better news the MG4 has finally gone wireless for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and we like the addition of a few physical heating toggles. All MG4s get a wireless phone charger and vehicle-to-load (V2L) which lets you charge other devices from your car’s battery is also standard.
Power for a MG MG4
3/5
Long-range versions of the previous MG4 were the most popular, so MG has dropped the smallest battery from the line-up. There are now just three models to choose from: Premium Long Range, Premium Extended Range or XPower. The latter has all-wheel drive and packs a whopping 435 horsepower. However, we tested the entry-level rear-wheel drive version which is still no slouch and has plenty of power to zip around town and keep pace with faster moving traffic. The steering is light and slightly more precise than cheaper front-wheel drive MG4 Urban, though the difference is less noticeable than you might expect. The variety of driving modes don’t drastically change the cars character, but you can adjust the strength of the regenerative braking to alter how the car slows when you release the accelerator. We were pleased to discover our own calculations matched the displayed efficiency (this is not a given) and when you do need to charge, you should be able to top-up from 10 to 80 per cent in around half an hour. If you are regularly doing long journeys the Premium Extended Range model has a range of up to 338 miles and slightly more power than the Premium Long Range version.
