Key features of the all-new MG4 include a rear-mounted 120 kW (163 hp) permanent magnet electric motor, producing 250 Nm torque, and a top speed of 160 km/h [3][4]. At launch, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries of 42.8 kWh and 53.9 kWh capacities will be available, delivering estimated driving ranges of approximately 437 km and 530 km respectively [2][4].

This innovative battery option promises improved thermal safety, high efficiency in sub-zero temperatures, and fast charging capability [1][3][4]. Pricing and full details for this variant will be announced in September 2025, with deliveries expected before the end of the year [4].
The cabin of the all-new MG4 is equipped with EU Reach-compliant synthetic leather, a panoramic sunroof with electric shade, heated and ventilated front seats, and 30 storage compartments. Interior tech includes a floating 15.6-inch infotainment display running on the Oppo platform powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155, a digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charging, and a heated steering wheel [1][2][3].
Advanced driver assistance features include rain and night blind-spot visibility assist, 360-degree surround-view cameras with transparent chassis view, remote automatic parking, and multiple airbags. The car has high structural rigidity with cell-to-body (CTB) battery integration technology and meets IP67/IP69K waterproof standards [1][3].
The all-new MG4 is a product of MG Motor, and the company reported a staggering 11,067 pre-orders within the first 24 hours after pre-sales began [1]. However, the battery-equipped variant of the all-new MG4 was not included in these pre-orders [2].
