The MG4EV is a compact electric sedan owned by SAIC MG, and it has won the double crown of No. 1 pure electric compact sedan sales in Europe and No. 1 pure electric car sales of Chinese brands in Europe (January-November 2023), which is a veritable best-selling model.
The model is a single-motor rear-wheel drive version with a maximum output of 125 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. In addition, the top-of-the-line dual-motor all-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 330kW and a maximum torque of 600Nm, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
As an authentic global electric model, the MG4EV focuses more on the chassis, steering, and handling. Compared to its direct competitor, the Volkswagen ID.3, the MG4EV has better steering and rear axle lew, and better followability.
The characteristics of electric vehicles allow them to move forward smoothly when climbing and overtaking, which is in stark contrast to the inadequacy and overstretching of traditional small-displacement fuel vehicles. For mountain trails, this also means more safety.
The MG4EV retains the characteristics of a rear-wheel drive model, with the front of the car aggressively cornering, and the rear end is clearly in a more active state. Its 50:50 body ratio makes it always comfortable in the process of splitting corners, which makes people full of confidence.
In terms of steering feel, the MG4EV's steering feel is relatively light, the steering wheel spokes are smaller, and it is easier to handle, which is very similar to the feel of a French car.
In terms of suspension structure, the MG4EV adopts a rear-wheel drive layout + five-link independent rear suspension structure. The suspension structure allows the vehicle to reduce front wheel slippage and acceleration deviation, and effectively avoid slowing down or pushing heads when cornering at high speeds.
In terms of braking, the MG4EV adopts a combination of the German Continental MKC1 decoupled electric brake control system + the new integrated ONE-BOX electronic braking system, which makes it a lot ahead of the ID.3's drum brakes.
MG4EV uses a lying battery, the thickness of the battery is only 11cm, leading the industry, which also makes the MG4EV's center of gravity low, the lower the center of gravity, the shorter the force arm when subjected to transverse force, that is, the center of gravity is low and stable.
When performance becomes cheap, vehicles become sofas, color TVs, and refrigerators, and cars become more and more boring in the electric era. There is a desperate need for something that can truly provide driving pleasure and excitement, and perhaps the MG4EV is a new possibility.
The exterior design of the MG4EV is 100% original, and it does not go to the Porsche of COS fuel vehicles like many competitors, nor does it copy the Tesla myth. The MG4EV has its own X-shaped inductive focused front face, which is full of power.
MG4EV's smart technology matrix headlights have three sets of reflection units staggered before and after, and the narrow willow leaf headlights have a stretched and sharp shape, which is highly recognizable after being lit, making people unforgettable at a glance.
The MG4EV measures 4,287 mm, 1,836 mm in width, and 1,516 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,705 mm, which is comparable to the spacious interior of a mid-level car. The hollowed-out double-spoke aerodynamic suspension rear wing at the rear of the car has an exaggerated and agile shape and has the effect of stabilizing the airflow.
In terms of wheels, the MG4EV uses silver and black low-drag wheels, and the tires use Kumho HS63 wheels, which are mainly quiet and comfortable. In addition, the MG4EV has a turning radius of 5.3 meters, which can easily hold the narrow road lane.
The interior of the MG4EV is relatively simple and elegant, and the biggest evolution of the Champion Edition is the replacement of a 12.3-inch central control screen, the addition of a high-definition transparent chassis, and the decentralization of XDS corner control system software functions.
As a global model, the MG4EV has a cabin in strict accordance with REACH regulations, in line with EU standards, and is at the leading level in China, with formaldehyde content six times lower than the national standard, and 223 SVHC and 76 restricted substances are strictly controlled.
The MG4EV's in-vehicle system is equipped with the Zebra Venus intelligent system, which has a self-growth function (OTA), and supports 90-second wake-up and Ali ecological service access functions.
The MG4EV adopts a traditional electronic knob shift mechanism and an original split suspension center console, which greatly increases the storage space of the vehicle while taking into account both aesthetics and practicality. There are a total of 28 convenient storage spaces in the car, making it easy to use.
In terms of seats, the MG4EV adopts double-piece leather seats, the seat padding is very thick and soft, and the wide seat wings allow the driver to get better wrapping and support during intense driving. The main driver's seat is electrically adjustable and the seat is heated.
