MG has revealed the official pricing and specification of its new MG4 EV Extended Range model, a highly capable long-distance electric car that delivers up to 323 miles of zero emissions motoring.

Priced from £36,495 the MG4 underlines the company’s ‘Get More’ philosophy with an EV that goes further whilst being more affordable than its key rivals.

Equipped with a new 77kWh battery, the Extended Range marks a milestone for MG as its first electric car capable of over 300 miles on a single charge. It also allows drivers to recharge from 10-80 per cent in as little as 39 minutes.

As well as delivering more miles, the MG4 EV’s reputation as a driver’s car is underlined by the Extended Range’s more powerful 180kW electric motor which offers better performance, with the 0-62mph time now sharpened to just 6.5 seconds.

Underpinned by the established rear-wheel drive layout and Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), the new model retains the excellent comfort and dynamic handling that makes the MG4 EV one of the most rewarding EVs on the market.

The MG4 EV Extended Range preserves all the key qualities of the existing MG4 EV and is available in the Trophy specification as standard, meaning the spacious packaging and generous levels of infotainment and driver-assistance technology are inclusive.

The latest MG4 EV also features larger 18-inch alloy wheels and a black two-tone roof, delivering an enhanced appearance that further complements the car’s bold, contemporary design.

Guy Pigounakis, MG’s commercial director, said: “The Extended Range is the fifth model in the award winning MG4 EV model family and we believe drivers have real breadth of choice with our electric hatchbacks, which now include the very capable SE cars all the way through to the XPOWER, the most powerful production MG ever built.”
