MG4 EV Urban: A Practical Electric For City Drivers
If you are bored of watching petrol prices do interpretive dance every time you blink, the MG4 EV Urban is here to be the sensible friend who insists you stop wasting money. It is a front wheel drive electric hatch that slides into town life with two battery choices, a 43kWh for the sensible among us and a 54kWh for those who like to go a little further without thinking about charging.
Think of it as the precisely measured electric you did not know you needed. The makers have trimmed the fuss and given buyers exactly the options they are likely to use, which in car-speak means you can pick the amount of electric that suits your commute rather than paying for theatrics you will never use.
Despite the compact footprint outside, the interior is unexpectedly roomy. It comfortably seats four adults and the clever layout provides plenty of rear passenger space. Fold the rear seats and the luggage bay swallows more than 1,300 litres, which is more than enough for a weekend’s gear or the weekly shopping when you inevitably forget something and have to double back.
Safety And Running Costs
For those worrying about the dull but sensible stuff, the MG4 EV Urban is engineered to a five star safety expectation and comes with a comprehensive driver assistance suite to reduce fatigue on the daily grind. Rapid DC charging takes you from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 30 minutes, which is fast enough for most people to grab a coffee without entering a therapy session about range anxiety. The vehicle also arrives with a long term warranty when maintained through the brand’s dealer network, which means fewer sleepless nights over the small print.
Arriving in April and pitched at urban drivers who want practicality, decent range options and a break from fuel price hysteria, this is a sensible, value-led way into electric driving.
