The new MG4 is a comprehensive modernization of the current MG4 with improvements in design, technology, and interior. The compact car features a rounder front without mimicking the grille, drop-shaped LED headlights, and an illuminated emblem. At the back, there are LED taillights with a bar that spans the entire width of the tailgate and a bumper with a decorative black insert.
According to Chinese media, the vehicle dimensions have grown: Length - 4,395 mm, Width - 1,842 mm, Height - 1,551 mm, Wheelbase - 2,750 mm. This makes the new model larger than the current MG4 and the competitor BYD Dolphin. The model is equipped with 17-inch wheels with a petal design.
Inside - a symmetrical dashboard with a floating central multimedia system, a rectangular digital instrument display, and a two-tone trim. The MG×Oppo onboard system is based on the Qualcomm 8155 chipset with support for voice control, connection to external devices, gesture navigation, and AI features.
The interior is equipped with leather, chrome, and additional lighting. There is a 50-watt wireless charger, a gear lever on the steering column, and sporty front seats with electric adjustment, heating, and ventilation. The second row features a flat floor, a panoramic roof with a shade, air vents, USB ports, and backrests that can fold in a 60:40 ratio. The trunk offers a three-level arrangement for convenient storage of items.
The MG4 is equipped with a 163 hp (120 kW) rear electric motor and a 70 kWh battery. It is the first production model from MG with a solid-state battery, as stated by Chen Cui, head of the MG division. The model will be offered in two variants: with a range of 437 and 537 km according to the CLTC cycle. Fast charging from 30% to 80% takes approximately 20 minutes.
The vehicle is based on CTB technology (cell-to-body), where the battery is integrated into the supporting structure of the body. The suspension consists of a MacPherson front axle and a rear axle with a torsion axle.
The MG4 could get an L2+ package with a highway navigation function (NOA) for trips on highways, but the final technical specifications and prices will be announced closer to the sales launch.
