MG4 Premium Extended Range (MY26)

The MG MG4 Premium Extended Range (MY26) is a 5-seat hatchback with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £32,995. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.2 seconds, quicker than 54% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 270 miles (435 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 54% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 7th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (171 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 74.4 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 80 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 276 miles (444 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £122 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).
