MG Motor UK MG4 EV Hatchback
Download vehicle brochureThe MG4 EV from historic British marque MG isn’t just one of the most stylish all-electric vehicles on the market, it’s also one of the most affordable. In terms of its dimensions, the MG4 EV is roughly the same size as a Volkswagen Golf and comes with 363 litres of boot space, making it a practical lease car for families who want to drive down the cost of their fuel bill. It also makes sense as a company car lease, benefitting from a low 2% Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax bracket.

When the MG4 came out, expectations were kept in check. Why? Well, MG’s cars up until then had been a bit 'meh'.
Following the MG Rover collapse almost 20 years ago, the brand had been revived under the leadership of Nanjing Automobile, which SAIC Motor, a Chinese state-owned manufacturer, soon took over. There was much intrigue when MG announced it would start building electric cars.
Then the MG4 came out, and everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor.
Firstly, it was reasonably priced, and secondly, it was good to drive, as well as practical, lovely to sit in and well-equipped.
With electric cars often commanding a huge premium over their equivalent petrol and diesel models, somehow MG had stolen a march on the entire industry by doing what nobody else seemed able to do: build an affordable electric car without cutting corners.
Last year, it launched a version called the XPower in an apparent attempt to enter the hot-hatch market – but it’s around 30% more expensive than the standard version.
So, simple question: is it worth it? That is what we’re aiming to find out.
