MG4 EV 2025: The Affordable Electric Car With Impressive Range

MG4 EV is an electric car that is popular all over the world due to its low price and long range. We are talking about the MG4 EV. It is available in many global markets including China, Europe, Australia and many Asian countries. Almost 3 years after the launch of the first generation MG4 EV, the second generation model has been launched at the Chengdu Auto Show 2025 in China. You will be able to buy it in a total of 5 trims. The special thing is that there has been no change in its price. That is, its starting price will remain Rs 8.50 lakh.

The new MG4 EV has been priced competitively, with the base variant available for 68,800 yuan (Rs 8.50 lakh). The top variant is the Anxin Edition with semi-solid-state battery, which is priced at 102,800 yuan (Rs 12.71 lakh). In European markets, the MG4 EV competes with the Volkswagen ID.3, Cupra Born and Renault Megane E-Tech Electric.

Dimensions and Exterior Updates of the MG4 EV

The second-generation MG4 EV is based on SAIC's E3 pure electric architecture. The new version of the C-segment electric hatchback has grown in size, giving it a stronger presence on the road. It is now 4,395 mm long (108 mm longer), 1,842 mm wide (6 mm wider), 1,551 mm high (35 mm longer). It has a wheelbase of 2,750 mm (45 mm longer).

What’s New in the 2025 MG4 EV Design and Size - Exterior features include new projector headlamps, a main split honeycomb grille, sporty design for the side air ducts and illuminated MG logo. The side profile features conventional door handles, body-colour ORVMs, sporty machined alloy wheels and a slightly tapered roofline. At the rear, one will see LED taillights with interlinked LED strips, a roof spoiler, heavily sloping windshield and a distinctive bumper design.

Battery Options and Range of the 2025 MG4 EV

The second-generation MG4 EV will be the world's first production EV to use a semi-solid-state battery. It is not available at launch, but will be launched in September 2025. The semi-solid-state battery will be available with the Anxin version of the MG4. This battery technology has several advantages, such as improved thermal protection, improved cold weather performance, longer lifespan and higher energy density. The semi-solid-state battery will be 70 kWh, with a CLTC range of 537 km.

Standard vs Anxin Edition: Which MG4 EV to Choose?

The standard version of the second-generation MG4 EV will use a standard lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Two options will be available, a 42.8 kWh and a 53.9 kWh one. The variants with these battery packs have a CLTC-rated range of 437 km and 530 km, respectively. Both battery packs can be charged from 30% to 80% in about 20 minutes using a fast charger.

The MG4 has a six-in-one integrated electric motor that generates 120 kW or 161 hp and 250 Nm of torque. The hatchback can reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Users can expect better performance, as the second-generation MG4 is lighter than its previous model (1,485 kg vs 1,635 kg earlier). The new platform and cell-to-body battery design would have further improved its light weight.

MG4 EV Features and Infotainment System

Talking about equipment, it includes a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital instrument display. Lower variants get a 12.8-inch touchscreen. This tech setup has been developed in partnership with Oppo and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor.

The top trim gets advanced driver assist features, including four 360-degree surround view cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and front and rear cameras. These systems are powered by the Horizon Journey J6e chip. This unlocks the high-speed NOA (navigation on autopilot) function, which includes lane keeping assist, autonomous lane change assist, turn signal-activated lane change, and auto parking.
