Video Summary
The MG4 is striking and has a hint of Lamborghini Urus at the front end.The design of the rear looks like a Honda Civic with flamboyant flicks and protruding body parts.
There are three levels of spec, starting with the SE standard range.
The SE standard range has a 170 horsepower motor and a 51-kilowatt-hour battery.
The range of the standard range is 218 miles.
There's a decent amount of equipment thrown in, including an emergency braking system, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, traffic jam assist, and traffic sign recognition.
The SE standard range starts at just 26,000 pounds.
The SE long range has a 64-kilowatt battery, so the range rises to 281 miles.
Not much is added to the options list, but you can get an active grill at the front which improves battery cooling and therefore efficiency.
The SE long range version has 204 horsepower.
Naught to 62 happens in under eight seconds and will go to 100 miles per hour.
The long-range version cost 28,500 pounds.
The high-spec trophy long range is 31,500 pounds.
The interior shows signs of cost-cutting.
There is a flat floor throughout the cabin.
The battery is just 11 centimeters deep and runs between the front axle and the rear axle.
There are no nasty scratchy plastics in the cabin.
The interior needs better bolstered seats and more upmarket materials.
The dash is dominated by a large infotainment screen at 10.25 in.
The system is a bit tricky to use the screen while driving, so it is best to use the bigger buttons and the steering wheel controls.
Below all of this is a floating center console with a wireless charging pad for your phone and the gear selector.
Below the pad are some holes for wires that you can connect your phone to the Apple CarPlay.
It has a screen with all the usual essential information.
The MG4 may be a world away from the cars that MG used to make, but it hasn't forgotten its roots because a bit of sportiness lurks within.
This car is rear-wheel drive as all good sports cars should be, and the weight distribution is 50/50 front and rear.
Most of that weight is low down close to the ground giving it a low center of gravity, which means it should corner well.
The car's power delivery is pretty potent.
Naught to 62 happens in around 7 and 1/2 seconds.
This car is targeting models like Volkswagen ID3.
This model is cheaper than the ID3, but the VW model is slightly better overall.
It will steal sales because it is 9,000 pounds cheaper.
