The MG4 EV is a brand new fully-electric hatchback that looks set to make its mark here in the UK thanks to an affordable price tag. Pitching itself against similar offerings from the likes of Volkswagen, Kia and Cupra, Chinese-owned brand MG is pulling all the punches, and rightly so.
Expect a five-door spacious family-sized interior that has crossover appeal with a good amount of equipment as standard. The driving range is certainly appealing - especially if you opt for the SE Long Range model.
On the outside, the MG4 EVs distinctive design really does turn heads and the choice of colours are as vibrantly individual as you are. In a market where motorists are nervous to make the switch to electric during a cost of living crisis, the MG4 EV is proof that a family-sized zero emission vehicle can be affordable.

MG4 EV interior
Expect even more space on the inside as the MG4 EV is built on a long wheelbase and powered by a thin battery to maximise the cabin’s interior dimensions. Height-wise there is plenty of head room and you won’t feel cramped even on the longest of journeys thanks to the generous amounts of legroom in the rear which comfortably seats three passengers.
The surprisingly spacious interior does mean that the boot size comes up smaller than some of its rivals, but a luggage capacity of 363-litres is certainly not to be sniffed at.
