Design
First impressions? The front is a bit sharp-looking, and the rear has this clean, simple finish. It’s compact but not too small — about the size you’d want for squeezing into tight parking spots. To be honest, it kind of reminds me of the Baleno in shape, but more… electric-looking, if that makes sense.
Interior & Fhttp://The MG4 EV Starts at $10,000 — Here’s What It’s Really Likeeatures
When I sat inside the MG4 EV, the first word that came to mind was simple — but in a good way. The screen behind the steering wheel gives you the basics, and the central touchscreen is decent — not super high-end, but responsive enough for stuff like music and maps.
Nothing fancy, but everything just works. Honestly, I’ve been in more expensive cars that felt less put together.
Battery & Driving Experience
So here’s the part I was most curious about — how does it actually drive? Short answer: really smooth. Like, eerily quiet if you’re coming from a petrol or diesel car. Driving it around town was super chill — no gear shifts, no engine noise, just a steady glide.
It’s clearly made with city driving in mind. I didn’t test it on highways, but around local roads and traffic, it handled well. Nothing sporty about it, but it’s got enough pull to get going when you need it.
MG also mentioned there’s a version coming soon with a semi-solid-state battery — that should mean longer range and faster charging.
Range
Right now, you get around 350 km on a full charge. That’s more than enough for most people’s daily routine. I mostly drive to work, do a few errands, maybe a weekend trip — this would easily handle that without me having to constantly worry about charging.
Price
And now the big one — price. The MG4 EV starts at just $10,000. For an electric car, that’s kind of wild. It costs less than some entry-level petrol hatchbacks, and you’re saving on fuel and maintenance over time.
Final Thoughts
The MG4 EV isn’t flashy, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s a simple, affordable electric car that does what it needs to do. If you’ve been thinking about switching to an EV but didn’t want to spend a fortune, this might be the one to test the waters with. I’d say it’s ideal for city driving, short commutes, and folks looking for a budget-friendly second car.
