The all-new MG4 EV has officially broken cover at Chinese dealerships, signaling MG’s ambitious push to conquer the affordable electric car market with flair and cutting-edge tech. Designed as a direct answer to the popular BYD Dolphin, the updated MG4 comes with a complete design overhaul, new dimensions, advanced cabin tech, and a pioneering battery system positioning it ahead of many rivals.
Design and Dimensions: Striking Looks, More Space
The redesigned MG4 EV is visibly more modern and aerodynamic, highlighted by:
- Rounded front end and illuminated MG logo
- Distinct teardrop-shaped headlights and trapezoidal air intake for a sporty stance
- Full-width rear taillight with arrow motif

Size matters:
- Length: 4,395mm
