MG has announced further details on pricing for the MG4 EV, the manufacturer’s new fully electric hatchback.
Customers in the UK will be able to choose from three different specifications for the MG4 EV, with the lineup featuring the MG4 EV SE Standard Range, the SE Long Range and the Trophy Long Range.
Initially available with battery capacities from 51kWh to 64kWh, the MG4 EV Standard Range will be capable of 218 miles range on the WLTP cycle – with Long Range SE and Trophy Models capable of 281 miles and 270 miles respectively. The 64kWh battery is also capable of charging up to 135kW, meaning a charge time of only 35 minutes from 10% – 80% using a 150kW DC rapid charger.
The SE Standard Range is priced from £25,995, the SE Long Range from £28,495 and the Trophy Long Range from £31,495.

Long Range SE models also include MG’s innovative Active Grille Shutter System (AGS), which regulates air flow according to vehicle requirements. This improves aerodynamic efficiency by up to 30% and can increase EV range by as much as 10%.
The MG4 EV Trophy specification will be the highest available at launch, capable of 270 miles on a single charge thanks to a Long Range battery as standard.
Trophy models will be equipped with an upgraded MG Pilot system, with the inclusion of Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
