**MG MG4 49kWh SE Auto 5dr – A Sharp Electric Contender**
The MG4 49kWh SE Auto 5dr is a striking statement from MG’s electric revolution—an affordable, all-electric hatchback that dares to take on the big names without flinching. Built on a dedicated EV platform, it’s not just another petrol-to-electric conversion. It’s purpose-built, and it shows.
Styling is sharp, modern and unmistakably bold. Angular lines, a sporty stance, and full-width rear light bar give it presence beyond its price bracket. Inside, the cabin impresses with a minimalist but intuitive layout, bolstered by a 10.25-inch infotainment screen and digital driver’s display. Materials are a mixed bag, but the overall design feels contemporary and usable.
The 49kWh battery offers a WLTP range of up to 218 miles—competitive for the class—and real-world efficiency is strong. Performance is brisk rather than blistering; the 168bhp motor drives the rear wheels, delivering confident acceleration and a genuine sense of engagement behind the wheel. It feels planted and composed, even through corners, thanks to its balanced chassis.
Charging is respectable, with up to 135kW DC rapid charging capability, meaning 10–80% top-ups in just over half an hour when using the right charger. Throw in MG’s generous 7-year warranty, and you’ve got a compelling ownership package.
practicality, tech, and a genuinely enjoyable drive—all at a price that keeps EV ownership accessible. MG’s comeback continues—and it’s hard to ignore.
