“Our first drive of the new MG4 proves that the brand finally has what it needs to take on the big boys, thanks to decent driving manners and a good range for a very keen price.” (Sean Carson)

“The MG4 is a stylish proposition, and is built on pure electric foundations, meaning more space inside, better range and improved tech. It also looks a lot funkier than anything MG has offered before, meaning it can compete with popular EVs like the Vauxhall Corsa-e, Renault Zoe, Peugeot e-208 and even the VW ID.3.” (Dan Trent)

“The MG 4 EV may not move any technological boundaries, but other manufacturers should undoubtedly see this car as a serious threat, because it does so many things so well, and for such a keen price that it is hard to argue you should buy any other electric hatchback.”

“MG’s managed to make a desirable car that somehow undercuts its main rival by more than £10,000. It’s loaded with kit, genuinely competent on the road and backed by a strong concoction of seven-year warranty and friendly local dealers.”

“The MG4’s neat design, fun handling and efficient electric powertrain should see it score well with buyers. Factor in its price tag of just under £26,000 in entry-level guise – which includes a perfectly decent amount of equipment – and the MG4 seems destined to fly out of showrooms as more buyers look to make the switch to electric.”

“MG cars of recent years have often come with the caveat of being good for the price. With the MG4 though, there’s none of that — it’s simply very good. Perhaps a landmark moment for the brand.”

“While I like the MG5 and ZS, neither are cars that I would describe as desirable. The MG4 on the other hand looks the real deal. The design looks seriously sharp and the return to the classic hatchback shape is a good move. This really feels like a next-generation of electric car.”

“The MG4 EV is good to drive, interesting to look at, it offers a decent range, and it’s relatively affordable – just be aware of a few interior usability issues…” (Paul Clarke)

“The MG 4 is one of the cheapest electric cars on sale but it has a great deal more appeal than just its price tag. It represents staggeringly good value for money, with generous equipment levels and a spacious cabin compared to similarly priced EVs. It’s surprisingly good to drive, too, while its range will be more than adequate for most.”

“The MG 4 is an excellent all-round package: it’s stylish and comfortable, decent to drive and well-equipped. And when you consider the price, it becomes a truly compelling package – it’s easy to see why MG expects this to rapidly become its UK best-seller.” (James Attwood)

“We’re highly impressed with the way this car drives, more than happy with the quality of the interior and the levels of equipment you get as standard and comfortable that the space on offer is enough for a small family to comfortably use. As a result it’s not just the budget brands who should be worried about this car stealing their sales – the established players ought to keep a look out too.”

“As a gateway to EV ownership, the MG4 is absolutely on the money and shames more established brands charging many thousands of pounds more for EVs which frankly offer no more than a familiar badge.”

“It’s a good car – one of the best in its class – and the fact it comes with an attractive price tag only makes it more appealing. Of course, the styling won’t be to everyone’s taste and the rear cabin is a bit dingy, but this is a really solid contender in the electric car market.”

“Choice of interior materials and touchscreen control systems notwithstanding, the MG 4 is a first-rate car which more than any other brings electric motoring nearer to a mass market (although it’s still relatively expensive). If you wanted your second car to be electric, then it’s difficult to think of reasons not to choose the MG over its much more expensive rivals.” (Andrew English)

“The MG4 is one of the cheapest new electric cars around. For your money you are getting something that is decent to drive, comfortable and, if you go for the Long Range version, you’ll get a good range between charges, too. There are other electric cars that are more polished and more practical – but they’re all more expensive.”

“The MG 4 EV is a game-changing electric vehicle. It’s phenomenal value, but not bargain basement. There are a few rough edges in finish, and the infotainment system still needs a few more tweaks. But it’s enjoyable to drive, is well equipped with safety technology, and delivers great range. If the price of EVs was putting you off before, the MG4 EV could be the car that changes your mind.” (James Morris)
