This is British brand MG’s ‘ID.’ moment. While the Chinese-owned firm has dabbled with EVs in the past - including the impressive affordable ZS crossover and MG5 estate - this MG4 family hatchback is where the company’s push with its next generation of models really begins. That’s why, in almost every sense, you can see parallels with Volkswagen’s ID.3 - hence this being a crucial car for MG.
For a start, both models are competing in the same sector and aiming for the same buyers: everyone from city dwellers to families who might use the MG4 as a second car, as well as company car drivers keen to cut their Benefit-in-Kind tax bill.
There are even more similarities when you analyse the key figures. The MG4 EV is based on an all-new platform for the brand, called MSP, which stands for Modular Scalable Platform. Like the ID.3, it employs a rear-mounted motor producing 200bhp, which is fed by a 64kWh battery in this top-spec Trophy Long Range version for a claimed range of 270 miles. Opt for the more affordable SE Long Range and this increases to 281 miles. Meanwhile, all MG4s have 150kW rapid charging, so a 10-80 per cent top-up for the bigger battery takes 35 minutes. Use a 7kW home wallbox and it’ll take nine hours to fully replenish. As Nicola Hume finds out, the MG4 is a credible EV competitor, irrespective of the low asking price.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, for me it looks great and great to drive, no complaints at all, it's no worse inside that the VW ID3.
I thought it looked cooler than the Cupra Born and the ID3 but that is just me.
@@Uouttooo Same here in fact its looks were what started me getting interested in it - before learning about the great price and great reviews. It's just like my old LEAF which I always hear people say it's ugly but I actually stop every now and then to admire its lines - the front end, I have to admit I'm not a great fan of the rear end of the LEAF.
She's probably one of those who like flowing lines like the Mini or Ora Cat, while I think those are ugly and prefer angular lines like this MG4.
@@Uouttooo the cupra born looks obnoxious to me. It looks like a 60 year old desperately tried to make the ID3 look hip, cool and young :D
Edit: 60 year olds are probably the main target group for this vehicle though, so it kind of makes sense
No, everything isn’t adjustable from the screen. Your cruise control, climate control and driving modes can be adjusted from the buttons on the steering wheel. It is only the trophy that comes with in-built Sat-Nav.
I don't know why MG doesn't give journalists some material about the steering wheel button setup. But they wouldn't read it anyway. Oh, how many reviews I've seen where they've got this completely wrong. It immediately makes one wonder about the quality of the review. Unpreparedness, all in a hurry... Oh, dear.
Yeah, for much more detailed information from owners I prefer the MGEVs forum.
Funny how many of us know about it
Auto Express should make a video of just the steering wheel buttons as an apology :D
It's 1685kg unladen, which is about 250kgs less than ID3. The GVW is 2.1 tonnes
The old Chinese MGs were cheap and they certainly looked and felt cheap, but this one looks shockingly appealing at this price point. The VW ID 3 is starting to look pretty underwhelming compared to the MG4.
They were certainly cheap and cheerful, but still durable and well made. My friend’s got a 2013 MG3 and nothings broken or come off, so the build quality is definitely there 😅
"Everything's in the screen" ... only for people who don't know what they're doing 🤦♂
Every review isn't it! This has to be MG not putting the steering wheel button capabilities in the press pack
@@HoltAlex The buttons are right in front of your face, most people open there eyes and ta da they appear.
In other words… The UI is unintuitive. Also nothing to be proud of.
I don’t think it ugly TBH
There are programmable buttons on the steering wheel to add mode, air con, regen modes etc
The top of the range MG4 Trophy is £4k cheaper than the ID3 and Cupra Born. All you need to know.
For a reviewer, she's missed out some basics for this car. Like 'What are those buttons with stars on the wheel for?' Pretty basic question really. (They are progeamable buttons so you don't have to use the infotainment system flat screen for your preferred items).
Why do people say that this car is cheap as if the must be something wrong with it. It's not "impossibly cheap", it's the right car at the right price point. What it does show is that all the other "European" brands need to stop ripping us off just because EVs are the current trend. The conversation about EV prices being in line with ICE cars is because ICE cars are getting more expensive and not that EVs are getting cheaper. It's great that brands like MG seem to get the point. Good, well spec'd cars that the average person can actually afford. Well done MG
Does it have over the air software updates, voice commands, or a blindspot warning system? Thank you.
"It's a cheap car, it's only 28 grand" . YUP, the marketing team has won when motoring journos start saying stuff like that. For many people even a £28k electric car is beyond their budget. How do residuals hold up ? Is it competitive on finance? These are the real world questions which need to be included in this type of review.
Other than that, cracking job Nicola 👍
I don’t think it’s ugly, it’s a good looking car, although not best in white. The entry level is ten grand less than the competition, never mind the odd quibble, how do the other car makers justify charging 38% more for their entry level offerings?
By not being made in China LOL. Not really a justification as such but understandable where their costs are.
@@edvoon I simply do not believe that Stellantis has to charge over £30k for the Corsa, 208 & C3 electric versions. With platform sharing and small batteries, these should all be £25k cars. The real issue is being lumbered with their legacy ICE businesses. If the Chinese coming to market brings more sensible pricing to the European manufacturers
I really like the MG4 - just traded my 2 year old diesel Evoque for a Trophy. I originally planned to get an Ioniq 5 - which is a bigger and better car, but substantially more expensive.
Tesla needs to step up its game. I mean make a properly affordable car people. You can take 10K of the price of every vehicle you make and still make money after all!
That's true, but why would they do that when even now they can't produce their cars fast enough to keep up with the orders. No one would make their products cheaper when they have zero products selling them.
@@georgimihalkov4781 Well, they are reducing production in China right now. Talk about the mission to accelerate electrification...
@@paouvous @paouvous I saw that, but there are conflicting reports about that and Tesla denies it, so I have no idea if it's true. It doesn't make much sense because they had a sales record for China in November with over 100k cars sold.
@@georgimihalkov4781 The weekly December numbers are not that high though. Workers at the factory say that production is reduced. ...and December 31st expires a Chinese government incentive, so things should be flying instead.
Tesla isn't the way forward. Kia and Hyundai are the market leaders rn. Tesla has fallen behind or been matched in all their previous advantages... Model S Plaid isn't even the fastest accelerating car anymore. Polestar 3, BMW Ix and Volvo ex 90 are all cheaper and have more range than the model x. the ioiq 6 beats the model 3 in every single category imaginable and the model y is bested by the Ev 6 ioniq 5 and audi q4 E tror. tesla are done
2.1 tons? Someone didn’t do their homework. 😂
Didn't do their homework regarding having to use touchscreen when in actual fact, regen and power mode CAN be set using the customisable steering wheel buttons.
@@beggarsoak1 Yeah, this lazy journalism is pretty frustrating when you're trying to make decisions about cars based on reviews. Only takes 5-10 minutes to read about that stuff and would add so much more value to the review
@@rikkiolaBest to check out the MGEV forum (MG4 sub forum) and ask owners for advice.
Must be nice to be rich enough to call this impossibly cheap 😂
i dont know in UK but in spain 30k euros its alot of money....i mean its not expensive for elec car but not cheap at all 😁
In Europe.. in GB, you always get awesome cars that we don't have here in Québec Canada!
Good stuff from MG 👌🏻
Do you have any ideea If Mg plans expanding in Europe?
0:19 - Finally someone said it. I was beginning to think I was the only one.
Both my mom and one of my teachers ordered one of these, mainly because of the 7 year warranty.
Pretty qurious to the build quality and long term wear and tear but so far they seem quite exellenct for the money!
My friend’s got a 2013 MG3 and nothings broken or come off. Cheap and cheerful and basic yes, but the build quality is definitely there 😅 perfectly reliable also
@@reececollison5101 that sounds promising!
@@reececollison5101 They're also getting better in quality too - all of the Chinese brands are improving at a quick clip
Auto Express still going? Pretty mediocre review, rather daft section showing the turning circle, and kept calling it cheap, I think they mean competitively price 🙄
Picky and biased review. So, you pay another £5k for an electric city car, which is in reality a 2 seater? You miss the point of this car.
Could you please tell about your experience of the rear window without wipers, keeps clean and clear during rain and snow. Reports from identical designs (like Subaru Solterra, etc.) suggest that this design specification, i.e. without rear window wiper (at the hatchback), is not practical for good rear sight in rain and snow conditions.
Rain-X is your friend...
I drove 2500 miles in southern bavaria now and the inside of the window is more the problem. Under extreme weather conditions (-8 degree Celsius and snow storm), the glass heating has got problems to fit the purpuse. The tilt angle is so flat that the rain cleans the rear window. Under the middle spoiler, the car gets very dirty because no rain comes to this part of the body and the spoiler has got an effect like an umbrella. I have the SE long range version.
@@martinv.352 many thanks for this update.
It's cheap - for an EV. But you get a lot for the price unlike with VW. I have the same doubts about the rear end. The top looks better with the spoiler at least. But all of this isn't a deal breaker if you know what I mean 😉
It isn't as pig ugly as a BMW iX, which is an excercise in seeing how much you will take being laughed at by your neighbours and the cars in front of you.
Could you review Nissan x trail e power?!!
2 tonnes? Like nobody on your channel thought that sounded inaccurate?
Headlights and taillights design.. I like! Front end design also! Profile not a fan and not a fan of the rear
In august 2020 I bought a pre registered Skoda Octavia 1.5 tsi se drive for £16395. That’s cheap.
LOL and 1 liter of petrol is almost 2 euro. It is good deal if you sit in your house and dont go anywhere try do travel every day 200 kilometers and we will see how good deal is that LOL. With ev you can travel everyday 200km charge it home with low cost electricity and laugh petrol drivers like yourself. 200km of driving every day in europe costs around 28 euro per day that is around 900 euro per month and 10 800e per year. wow what a great deal you got . try to enyoy life little bit and travel and then you will see real cost of petrol car now in 2022 . Calculation is based on average 7 liters per 100km that is what most of cars spend on average.
@@triplextriplexxx8225 LOL is on you. How many miles can I do on £10k extra to buy this fridge from “Chyna”. Who remembers MG5 fast backs and saloons when introduced. The insignia killer. No neither do I.
Good review.
I guess we are at the point where cars around £30k are cheep. Watch how many electric cars get dumped now the road tax has been sorted. On the plus side it might force the manufacturers to bring the price down under the threshold.
Don’t really think a road tax bill of £165 a year is enough to make people dump them, especially when going back to ICE you have too pay road tax anyway
The road tax will take effect on 1st April 2025. So no road tax just yet!
It doesn’t weigh 2.1 tons. Not sure where that came from 🤷♂️
I thought that too, turns out its 1640ish kg’s.
What annoys me slightly, is she says at 5:12 "now this is a cheap car" I could not afford a car that much, would love it, but my market is more the sub 20K field and many people in the world will never be able to afford such a car.
Most impressed by this offering from MG, makes many of the other 'small' electric cars look overpriced, which will ruin their chances of high sales figures.
That's why Trump need to raise the tariff of China import
I think the MG4 is quite a good value for money.
I think MG should sell this in more European countries including Poland, Romania, Greece and Bulgaria where MG is sadly not sold at the moment.
I heard rumours we're getting MG in Bulgaria. I would just buy one but it's risky not having any service network.
@@alexanderstefanov6474 Let’s hope it’ll land in your market in the near future.
hahaha and its sold in Serbia :D
@@XzzVttll When I checked their website, they only have the MG ZS and MG HS.
Maybe the MG4 will land in the Serbian market later on.
@@alexanderstefanov6474you’ll need the service network, the mg4 has terrible build quality and has a litany of problems
Ive seen one in metallic grey - it looks absolutely awesome!
I've got the Camden grey one and it is beautiful!!
Considering what you get for the price, this MG4 a real bargain. Buy now if you want one. MG is aiming at KIA, VW setting "keen market penetrating price strategy" to build EV market share. When sales picks up their retail price would increase.
This is problem EVs they can easily be differentiated on price because all the power trains perform generally the same. Unlike ICE vehicles which have more differentiation the average commute will just opt for the one they can afford.
What are you talking about?
It'd about the battery capacity, not the electric motors.
@@xavierStark84 They are referring to the seamless torque and refinement and they have a very good point. It's going to be much harder to distinguish between brands. The interior is a big giveaway here. And the car already has problems with oil leaks and a bulge on the underside floor. Poor build quality
That's not quite true though. If you look at range tests between different EV's you can clearly see which manufacturers have the most efficient setups. MG's tend to perform less well than for instance Kia or Hyundai as well as than VW group.
Most EV's come with a long battery warranty because that is the bit people still worry about but the longer vehicle warranty is just like how cheaper fossil cars were sold to the west when they hit the markets.
It's your money so make your own mind up. I'd personally be happier with a used ID.3 over a new MG4.
Beautiful car with affordable price
I saw you filming this review
2.1 ton what a nonsense!?!
It’s more like 1.7 ton 🤦
Is it really such a heavy car? 2100kg? I wonder how the plastic bits (most of the car) will hold up over time?
As she says it is a bit un stylish.. It's the front and the rear that don't work together..
She has the weight wrong it's approx 1600kg
(most of the car) - what is this?
First person to criticise the looks... but what do you expect she likes that overpriced Box on wheels the VW Buzz. Good taste is clearly something you can't buy, not even if you spend VW money. Perhaps Nicole should have a word with ALL the proper motoring g journalists who rave about the car!
It sounds like she did like it. Did you watch the whole video?
@@joetz1 She was errrr…..okay with it. Not much of “like” except for the price part.
To be honest it is damn ugly!
perfect for parking in the Starbucks parking lot and have a dozen coffees on the rear of that SUV!
It’s a hatchback and the rear lip is to stop road grime getting onto the wiperless rear windscreen.
One of my favourite car journalists! BUT - I really wish “new car” journalists would mention reliability for every car they review. For example, it’s interesting the VW ID3 was mentioned as a kind of bench mark. Which is a car from a company that lies to you (fuel economy cheat devices) and gives you touch screen tech that is famously “not ready yet” for public consumption. Would be good to hear the full story on these vids. Just sayin’
Just wondering how you’d expect to comment on reliability for a brand new car
@@wltdo6930 Easy! Tell us the reliability background of the manufacturer.
That was emission cheating and everyone did tbf.I get 55mpg from my vag group diesels....that's cheaper than EV now...
@@andyhunt457 it really isn't if you charge at home. I'm still paying about 1.3p/mile for fuel...
Cheat devices benefits the consumers. More power then whats advertised. So thats not a reliability concern.
No st nav in the spec you have built in
I heard about this car and took one for a test last month. Its good, fast with loads of tech BUT it has a lot of cheap and nasty materials inside, seats are fake thin leather, there are lots of nasty scratchy hard plastics everywhere, no handle inside for passengers to grab (the one just above the door we all use at some point), no lights in rear for passengers to see their seat belts etc, no lumbar support on drivers seat and seat isn't that comfy it's ok average but no lumbar makes it below average overall, drivers display is small and very basic, everything is changed in the infotainment system inc drive modes which are so small that iys very hard to change while driving which is the whole point of the drive modes, air con is controlled on infotainment screen and the buttons/icons and again really small (odd on such a large screen) which makes it hard to use. I mean yes it's great value for money but it doesn't take an expert to see in seconds where all the money has been saved. This is sadly quantity over quality.
The length of time your eyes were off the road while adjusting ONE setting on that stupid screen is frightening and worse than people on their cell phones.
The sooner these are made inoperative while the car is in motion the better!!!
you should have driven the highest spec'd version, it almost takes away every complaint you have at only a small price increase.
Eat your heart out richard Hammond you have some competition 😂
SURPRISING.....she is the first reviewer that has said this car is ugly. Also, her complaint about the rare roof spoilers was weird considering that she failed to mention that if you upgraded to the Trophy trim the full beauty of the spoilers comes into play. And as for the rear wrap-around lights - she hates them here but loves them on her Kia Sportage....LoL
erm idk. There are significant differences between those cars...
@@georgedowns4034 .....the cars being different is not what I'm trying to address, it is the particular item/area of her objection that I find odd. In this review she said the way the MG4's lights wrap around and project out like a shelf is not to her liking. The Kia Sportage that she just bought for herself has lights that wrap around and PROJECT outward like a SHELF also. In fact, that is one of the main selling points regarding why people like the sportage due to the way the rear is slopped/curved upward and illuminated. A very similar reason why almost everyone else that has reviewed this car like these lights that she is now hating on.
Hey, Nicola here. The sportage and the MG 4 rear ends are completely different. There is a full blown shelf at the back of the MG 4 which I wasn’t keen on, the sportage doesn’t. I don’t think you can compare the two. But how I feel about each cars looks is always down to opinion. Some might like it, but for me, nah. Sportage has a glorious rear end, MG 4….nah.😊
@@nicolahume Fair enough. In that case, I guess the only thing left to say is;- Praise be....under his eye.
I’m glad she said it, I don’t think it’s a pretty car, it’s a bit of a mish mash. But it has other things to commend it eg value for money.
if anyone can make an electric car and charge less than 32k is a plus in my book. winner winner kia cant do it hyundai cant do it so who else but mg come on people need to look at mg see what they get for the money and then way up the savings against the ones i named earlier. BONUS money in the bank. great review it even made you smile
It's not really cheap it's just cheap in comparison. Still can't afford 28k
Most won’t be able to afford it outright, hence PCP.
It is mega cheap in china, it only costs £14900 on the road! That’s why it’s made of cheap materials
The MG4 isn't cheap, it's just not way overpriced like most other cars!
I saw the orange version and thought it looked like one of those very cheap toy cars that are a bad copy of a hotwheels. I just think, generally, design wise, nah. It may be a good drive though. But we all love a rear wheel drive until it snows.
It had a snow mode for driving in the snow. Handles very well
@@adamnuttall5714 snow modes can only do so much in the snow everyone know that. Including in FWD cars.
I don't understand why everyone thinks this is cheep. I bought my first car new in 2009 (this was only 13years ago) and it was a convertable brand new for £9,999 and that was not even the cheapest at the time.
I've watched many reviews of the MG4, and many car reviews in general, having worked for Audi for many years. In all that time, I have never ever watched a review that had such a subliminal racist undertone! The amount of times that the word "cheap" was used and emphasized, was astounding! Add this, together with the suggestion that anything that was of quality on the car was stolen from other manufacturers - "it's almost like MG have copied their homework - know what I mean?" Well, I suppose we do, nudge nudge wink wink! Appalling!
Yes the kind of astonishing wordings can suit most of the taste of Westener towards Chinese, especially the US, hope you understand!
Meh. I'd still buy an ID.3 in preference to one of these. Looks a bit tacky and lacks refinement and passenger comfort imo.
Still, it fits a market niche which is good in terms of getting people into EV's.
Looks like a car that Walter White would drive (in orange)
They are putting the prices up in Jan so don't worry
Why do the car youtubers not brake test it?
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. I actually quite like It and different to any other of Its Rivals 😊
Kind of put me off when the 'ugly' word was uttered! Just because it's the white colour and not the orange!! Bit of a lightweight review, but the message is clear - aggressively priced to really give the competition a run for their money.
EVs are so overpriced. Mercedes is the worst of the lot when you look at the EQ range, plus the interior quality has gone down and EVERYTHING is a touch screen. This MG4 seems affordable and honest transportation: a breath of fresh air, literally. 🌟
Ooo. I wanted a bit more information if I'm honest. Still Hume is always on point.
Maybe read the MG4 forums, glitches with software, frozen wiper jets, oil overfill, won't take a roof rack to mention a few.
Yeah I’ve been on the MG4 forums and the faults and problems are affecting so many cars. The one thing I have learn with cars over the years don’t be an early adopter of a new model you’ll be the doing the beta testing for them and suffer the teething troubles etc
I don't mind the front end, the back is horrifying. But at least if I arrived at my destination with crumpled clothing I could whip out an iron and give my shirt a quick press on that back shelf. It's got a touch of Vauxhall Ampera looks about it.
The lip prevents dirt and grime getting onto the wiperless rear windscreen.
Pick mine up on Monday
Glad to see mg's again
Again?
They've been back since 2007!
VW have been cost cutting since dieselgate and MG have just shown how far for the money VW have fallen . Still some badge snobs out there but remember when no one would be seen dead in a hyundai.
Has she seen the mg4 trophy version???
Great review as always guys. ❤
YOU MUST BE BLIND, DEAF AND STUPID AND ON THAT BASIS WON'T BE ABLE TO READ/UNDERSTAND OR REPLY. F00L.
Far better looking than the blandola of the VW and Tesla electric ranges. At a fraction of the prices. Wow.
They should build these in the UK
Wouldn't be as cheap
do you why this brand belongs to China?
With China gaining market penetration it's definitely make or break time for many Euro manufacturers. If they allow the likes of BYD to gain a foot hold then it's game over for many. Only real counter is the geo political stability currently. Potential soured relations with China would effect parts, technical support for franchises and ultimately residual values. Crazy times.
Please research before complaining about the car. The MG4 allows many of the features you whinged about being on the touchscreen to be operated through the star buttons on the steering wheel. What is with NONE of the motoring journalists doing their job and all jumping on complaining about something they didn't bother to check?
VW must respond? Not sure if you have noticed, but for more than 20 years VW is not the people's car, but rather a premium brand at least in terms of their prices. A basic Polo 1.2 costs as much as a 3 series to run and service. 2.0tdi service is £500 at the low end. VW are one of the expensive brand, they play with Tesla, they don't care about MG :D
SO £28500 is cheap?
Fantastic car! Best value for money you can get in todays EV market. This car is a killer.
great review ❤
It's looks are an acquired taste, but for the money, offers a lot.
no one needed to guess how much it was, ev enthusiasts have been up to speed on this car months ago
Batteries down low means low centre of gravity, its nothing to do with 50/50 weight distribution....🙄
?????
batteries spread out all over lower pan, hence why its 50 ;50 with low centre of gravity
Yet another reviewer who doesn't read the manual. Custom button on steering wheel will handle the regen or drive modes. Poor.
No I dont thinks its a bit ugly, caught a glimpse of one the other day and it seriously caught my eye the MG is a good looking car for the price. Geely is not joking, its going to make competitive move you about boxes but lets get real Tesla competitor it aint but then again its not pitched to be, but if you want the best erm Im not going to say the obvious just take your test drives and put your money where your mouth is.......
I really like its angular looks. Much nicer than the iD3 in my opinion.
@@CastleKnight7 Exactly it looks, aero, EV, Modern, what not to like, ID3 is just German lets evolve the look from the last 30 years, oops dont loose the blood line die....... as in Golf.........boring.....Germans wake up blood line has gone, China will wipe the floor its open to all players and aero is in not brand statements its the future look
Not a cheap car at £26K! Very competitively priced and looks stunning.
It's VERY cheap for an EV and the spec level. You'd be paying £7000+ more to get something from VW or Renault close to it.
Why do they give motoring journalists the opportunity to test cars and put the results out when they obviously have no clue what they have been given? The panels on the hatch are obviously blanking plates because the Trophy version (the one she claims to love) has a roof spoiler which attaches here. Then the whole "bugged about everything being in the touch screen" stuff. If she'd been bothered to find out or if someone could be bothered to tell her she'd find that each drivers own preferred functions can be moved to the steering wheel buttons, they havent defined what you are doing with the car, they've said "here you go, the functions are there, put them where you like". Poor, lazy journalism.
What a horrible bla bla report
I've read good things about this car. Handles well apparently and got some style. Vw ID3 is soooo bland !!!
Car reviews shouldn't comment on design, they are usually journalists with zero background or knowledge in design or engineering.
26 for this or well spect Ford focus I go for Ford
Great video Nicola
Couple of things I can't get my head round. What on earth is wrong with 0-60 in 8 seconds...??? Its a flipping environmental friendly car, supposedly!
Oh.... and it's a bargain at £26,000!!!
Really? Where do your average families get into cars at that price?
Sorry, great reviews but sadly many of us can't afford cars like this, to lease will cost around £250-300 a month. With gas prices and food prices am sure many won't be buying a car like this..... even though its meant to be a bargain 😐
A mid range polo is about £22k. And costs £500 a year more to run.
Good car, good review
I think that you actually couldn’t really be bothered because it’s an MG and that is the problem that MG has
It certainly isn’t “impossibly cheap” for a lot of people.
It does everything it should do and honestly shows up other manufacturers but really the Trophy is where you need to be to get the rear spoiler which makes it look better.
Trophy = NMC type battery, Standard = LFP type battery. This matters far more than the spoiler imho.
@@peejayem4700 I have bought the middle version with NMC battery and without top spoiler, because the top spoiler is ugly in my personal opinion.
Great car, annoying review, the trophy is the one to go for with the rear roof spoilers….I think this car shows up how all the other EV manufacturers are taking the P**s out of consumers with pricing Vs spec
Confusing looks I think, it's very fussy & they've tried to make it appeal to younger people when let's face it most buyers will be 50yr old +
