Electric cars are not anymore future they are present. And MG knows it. The new MG4 EV just arrived in market and it’s already shaking up things. Price tag is kept low compared to rivals and that’s what makes people curious. You look at the EV space in 2025 and you see mostly expensive toys. MG is trying to break that wall.
Design that turns heads
At first glance the MG4 EV doesn’t look boring. Sharp lines, coupe inspired rear, wide stance. It is not trying to be another regular hatchback. It has a bold design that makes you stop for a second. MG designers made sure to give sporty feeling without making it impractical. It is compact enough for city roads but has presence that feels bigger. Some say design is bit futuristic others call it edgy. Either way it doesn’t blend in and that’s the point.
Inside the cabin
Step inside and you see clean dashboard layout. Less clutter more screens. 10.25 inch infotainment display, digital driver’s cluster, and touch controls. Seats are comfortable with decent bolstering. MG uses recycled materials in few trims to keep it eco friendly. Space wise the rear is fine for two adults, three on short trips. Boot space is practical, not massive but enough for daily runs. Cabin feels modern not luxury but not cheap either.
Power and performance
Here’s where things get interesting. MG4 EV is not just about looks. It packs strong motor options. Standard version gives 168 bhp while Long Range variant goes up to 200+ bhp. Instant torque makes acceleration quick. 0 to 100 kmph under 8 seconds for Long Range trim. That’s sporty enough for family EV. Ride is balanced, steering light in city but holds well on highway. Suspension tuned for comfort more than hardcore cornering. Still, handling feels secure.
Range that matters
One of the biggest talking points is range. MG4 EV offers up to 450 km (WLTP) on Long Range battery. Real world will be lower but still enough for daily drives plus weekend runs. Fast charging support means 10% to 80% in under 35 minutes with proper DC charger. Home charging overnight is easy with 7kW wall box. For Indian buyers range anxiety is real, MG is addressing it with numbers that make sense.
Price game
Now the big catch. Price. MG4 EV is placed aggressively. In global markets it starts much lower than Tesla Model 3 or Hyundai Ioniq 5. In India expected pricing is around 25 to 30 lakh depending on trim. That undercuts lot of premium EVs. MG knows affordability is key to mass adoption. Customers who wanted EV but couldn’t justify 40+ lakh tag now have reason to think again.
Features loaded
Don’t think cheaper means fewer features. MG4 EV brings ADAS package, 360 degree camera, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. OTA updates. Voice commands. MG is pushing tech angle hard. Safety is covered with multiple airbags, ESP, traction control, strong crash test base.
Charging network issue
But here comes the harsh reality. No matter how good EV is it needs charging infra. MG is expanding fast with partnerships but still not everywhere. In metros it’s fine, highways are catching up, smaller towns still behind. Buyers have to check if their city supports charging before jumping in. Home charging still remains most reliable solution.
Market impact
Launch of MG4 EV changes the EV segment. It puts pressure on rivals like Tata, Hyundai, Kia. Especially Tata which is dominating mid range EVs. MG4 sits between Nexon EV and Hyundai Ioniq 5 in price and features. That middle ground is dangerous for rivals. Many new buyers may shift to MG if delivery and service is strong.
Global perspective
Outside India MG4 already received strong reviews in Europe. It was praised for value for money and handling. In UK it even won awards for best affordable EV. That credibility will help MG push in Asian markets. Brand trust is still building but product quality is improving with every launch.
Should you buy it
That’s the final question. If you want affordable EV with decent range and sharp looks, MG4 EV makes sense. Not luxury level but practical. Not cheapest but balanced. Some may hesitate due to charging infra or MG service network. Others will see value in bold design plus features.
Final thought
MG is not just selling a car here. It is selling idea that EV doesn’t have to cost a fortune. MG4 EV comes as proof. Price is right design is fresh range is practical. For many buyers this will be first EV and it might just make them forget petrol.
