The MG4 has been one of the surprise hits of the EV world, an electric hatchback that delivers sharp handling, solid range, and a price tag that doesn’t make your wallet cry. Now, MG has revealed the updated MG4 EV, taking inspiration from its bold Cyberster roadster while keeping the affordability and practicality that made the original a success.
A Fresh Look with Cyberster DNA
MG’s new design language is sharper, sportier, and more aggressive than before, and the 2025 MG4 takes full advantage. The front end is now lower and more sculpted, borrowing cues from the Cyberster with a sleeker grille, new LED headlights, and deeper air intakes.
At the rear, MG has given the MG4 a more defined spoiler and a reworked bumper, making the car look more planted on the road. The full-width light bar remains, but it’s now thinner and more angular, giving the car a more modern edge.
It’s a design that feels more premium than before, without drifting into the overpriced territory where rivals like the VW ID.3 live.
More Power or More Efficiency – Your Call
MG is sticking with its multi-powertrain approach, meaning you can have your MG4 as either a budget-friendly commuter or a punchy hot hatch alternative.
- The entry-level model comes with a 161bhp motor, which is plenty for urban and motorway driving.
- The Long Range version packs 242bhp and a larger battery, pushing range towards the 300-mile mark.
- The flagship MG4 XPower remains, delivering 435bhp and all-wheel drive, making it one of the quickest EVs in its price bracket.
Charging speeds have improved, too, with the new MG4 supporting faster DC charging, cutting down wait times at public chargers.
Tech Upgrades and a Smarter Cabin
Inside, MG has given the MG4 a minor but effective refresh. The touchscreen is larger and more responsive, now running MG’s updated infotainment system with improved smartphone connectivity.
Materials have taken a step up, with softer plastics and more premium finishes, addressing one of the biggest criticisms of the previous model. The driving position remains low and sporty, something MG has always done well in its modern cars.
Expect more driver-assist tech as standard, including better adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance.
MG4: The Smart EV Choice
The MG4 has always been about offering a great EV without the inflated price, and this updated model sticks to that formula while adding sharper styling, better tech, and improved efficiency.
With rivals like the Cupra Born and VW ID.3 creeping up in price, MG’s refresh keeps the MG4 firmly in the best-value EV category, but now, with a little more attitude. Expect it to hit UK roads later this summer.
