View dealThe MG MG4 is a five-seat electric SUV, and it's the car that did more than most to prove an affordable EV could be genuinely good to drive. The current MG4 has been on sale in this form since 2026, sitting in MG's line-up as the sharp-driving electric family car rather than the budget one.
It's electric only, with a 64-77 kWh battery, 228-429 bhp depending on version, and a WLTP range of up to 338 miles. Every version is automatic, with rear- or all-wheel drive available.
The choice is simple: one body style, one powertrain type, and two versions - the everyday Premium and the 429 bhp XPOWER.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The MG4 is a 4.29 m, five-seat electric SUV with a 388-litre boot, rising to 1,164 litres with the rear seats folded. It's covered by MG's seven-year / 80,000-mile warranty and holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating.
Reviewers consistently rate it as one of the better-handling affordable EVs, praising its rear-drive balance and the fact that it doesn't feel generic. The cabin came in for criticism on earlier versions; road testers note the current car addresses that with better materials and a clearer screen setup.
Its battery is warranted for the same seven years and 80,000 miles, guaranteeing 70% of capacity - a point worth knowing even on a lease, because it says something about how MG expects the pack to hold up.
Because the kit list is generous on every version, which keeps the decision simple. Adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, keyless entry and start and built-in navigation are standard across the range.
Safety and assistance are thorough too: autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist, traffic sign recognition and front and rear parking sensors are fitted to every MG4, alongside that five-star Euro NCAP result (83% adult occupant, 80% child occupant).
Practically, it's a sensible size for UK roads at 4.29 m long, and servicing falls every 12 months or 15,000 miles. Towing is limited to 500 kg braked, so a small trailer only.
There's one answer here: the MG4 is electric only, so every version plugs in and none of them uses petrol or diesel. What changes between versions is battery size, power and how far you'll go between charges.
A 64-77 kWh battery (61.7-74.4 kWh usable) gives 228-429 bhp and a WLTP range of 251-338 miles depending on version. The best version rapid-charges 10-80% in 25 minutes at 150 kW, or 10-100% in 10.5 hours on a 7 kW home charger. It suits anyone who can charge at home or work regularly. Our electric car guide covers the basics if this is your first EV.

Premium is the version most people will lease; XPOWER is the fast one, and it's a very different car to live with.
Premium starts at 228 bhp with rear-wheel drive, on 18-inch alloy wheels with artificial leather upholstery. It adds full auto LED headlights with auto high beam and follow-me-home lighting, satellite navigation, Android Auto, a heated leather-style multifunction steering wheel, heated front seats and a rear-view camera.
The Premium is currently available from £300.50 a month.
Then there's the performance MG4. XPOWER produces 429 bhp with all-wheel drive, up to 600 Nm of torque and a 0-62 mph time as low as 3.8 seconds, plus launch control and front sports seats. Over Premium it brings suede-style upholstery and two-way manual lumbar support, on the same 18-inch alloys. Road testers rate it as seriously quick in a straight line rather than a true hot hatch, and its range is towards the lower end of the range, from 251 miles.
The XPOWER is currently available from £317.80 a month. Against the Premium, that is currently £17.29/mo more expensive.
If you're weighing up alternatives, the Leapmotor C10, OMODA 5, Ford Explorer and Volkswagen ID.4 all cover broadly similar ground. You can also browse the wider MG range.
