Previous rumors were correct, as the extra range is provided by a larger battery with a capacity of 77 kWh, which enables a WLTP range of 323 miles (520 kilometers). According to MG Motor, it takes 39 minutes to charge the battery from ten to 80 percent. This corresponds to an average charging power of 83 kW. MG does not mention the peak charging power in the announcement.
The new variant also gets a more powerful 184 kW engine, which reduces the 0-100 km/h sprint time to 6.5 seconds. As usual with SAIC's Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), this is a rear-mounted engine. Only the top-of-the-line MG4 XPower, launched in July, has a second electric motor on the front axle for the 320 kW all-wheel drive. However, the MG4 XPower is only available with the 64 kWh battery for a range of 385 kilometers.

UK prices for the new MG4 Extended Range start at £36,495 (approximately €42,450). There are currently four powertrain options: Standard Range with a 51 kWh LFP battery and rear-wheel drive, and Long Range with a 64 kWh NMC battery and rear-wheel drive. With the powerful four-wheel drive XPower and the new Extended Range with a larger battery and rear-wheel drive, MG has now added two more variants - at least in the UK.
As the market launch in Germany is not yet officially confirmed (but considered very likely), there are no official prices yet. However, if MG Motor Germany follows the logic of their British colleagues, the MG4 Extended Range could be priced the same as the MG4 XPower - in the UK both variants are listed at the aforementioned £36,495. If the same is true in Germany, the 520 kilometer version of the MG4 would be available from 46,990 Euros.
