The MG4 is one of the cheapest new electric cars currently on sale and offers equally good value in the used market.

It had been named EV of the Year at last year’s awards because it offers the same range, performance and technology as much more expensive rivals. Twelve months on, not much has changed.

Based on an all-new platform, the MG4 was the first of a new family of electric cars from MG.

More than 30,000 MG 4 cars have been sold already since it entered the UK in 2022, which means a good future supply of used models for dealerships.

The rear-wheel drive hatch provides keen handling, without sacrificing passenger comfort.

It’s available with battery capacities of 51kWh, 64kWh or 77kWh. The MG4 EV Standard Range is capable of covering 218 miles on the WLTP cycle – with Long Range Models capable of 280 and the Extended Range able to travel 323 miles.

The Standard Range car develops 170PS, the Long Range serves up 203PS and the Extended Range puts out 245PS. All can sprint from rest to 62mph in less than eight seconds.

For those wanting something a little more exciting, the MG4 XPower uses a twin-motor set-up, giving 425PS and a 0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds.

Specification levels are high, with a 10.25-inch central touchscreen and separate digital instrument cluster display fitted as standard, along with MG Pilot driver assistance systems and a suite of connected services.

The car also comes with a seven-year/80,000-mile warranty as standard, which remains one of the longest fully transferable warranties in its class.

Tim Rose, editor of AM, said: “Right from the outset, the MG4 impressed both automotive professionals and consumers as an enjoyable to drive, competitively-priced and generously equipped EV hatchback. Now it is proving to be a very credible and attractive option for UK motorists seeking to purchase a used EV and doing much to support automotive retailers at an important time for the industry."
