MG4 2025 review: Essence 77kWh long-term test | Is this the best-value long-range electric car?

Uploaded 9 months ago by CarsGuide

Video Summary

Here's a summary of the electric car review:
- Range depends on the battery size, with the 77 kWh model offering 530 km, although 450 km is more realistic in real-world conditions.
- The charging setup supports 150kW DC fast charging, allowing a 0-80% charge in about 40 minutes, while home wall box charging takes about 9 hours from empty to full.
- Home charging is convenient and a make-or-break feature for EVs.
- There's more to think about when one owns an electric car.
- The driver experienced that in order to visit a place located two hours from Sydney, there was need to make use of a charger, plugging in Nowra for 2hours, before connecting to Shell harbor.
- This car is well-equipped, with big screens, LED lighting, and wireless charging.
- The exterior design is unique and appealing, but the touch screen can be fidgety, requiring precise inputs.
- Cabin is paired back and is subtle.
- The car starts well with a rear wheel.
- There is spacious room at both the front seat and the back seat.
- Long-term wear and tear include rattles and scratches in some interiors.
- Vision out of the rear is not so good.
- It is difficult to see with rear view camera, especially at night.
- Driving is sport and connected.
- Driving this MG4 feels better than most Chinese EVs.
- The MG4 is best suited as the “second car” in an urban family.
