MG 4 EV pairs a 450km WLTP range with practical charging

At just under 4.3 metres long, the MG 4 EV has the proportions of a compact five-door hatchback. Its size is a sensible fit for everyday driving in Hong Kong.

The digital instrument display and central touchscreen give the cabin a straightforward, screen-led layout. CarPlay handles familiar phone apps, while remote vehicle location and status checks add useful convenience away from the car.

The rear-mounted motor produces 150kW and 250Nm, with an official 0-100km/h time of 7.9 seconds. That gives this version a clear measure of acceleration for joining faster roads, while its rear-wheel-drive layout sets it apart from a conventional front-drive hatchback.

The 2,705mm wheelbase makes room for a five-seat cabin within the compact body. A 363-litre boot gives the hatchback useful capacity for shopping and everyday bags.

Front and side airbags, side curtains and child-seat anchors address family use. Stability control, lane-keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking add support in day-to-day traffic; the driver still needs to stay in charge.

The official 450km WLTP range gives drivers a useful planning figure for regular journeys and trips beyond the city. As a fully electric hatchback, it suits buyers looking to make those journeys without petrol.
