  • Offered in 170PS 951kWh battery) and 204PS(64KWh battery) RWD powertrain setups initially,with AWD options coming later.

The new MG variant to be launched which would be called the MG4.It will be a crossover with lots of firsts including the Modular Scalable Platform(MSP) in which it is to be built including future MG EVs.

Based on a new platform,MG4 went through a new design philosophy.It's lot cleaner without a massive front grille and the nose swoops downwards in comparison to the upright nature of models like ZS EV. Its simplistic nature continues with sleek headlamps and vertical LED DRLs.

MG4 incorporates aggressive styling seen in current MG models such as sport front bumper,strong character lines and a swanky set of alloy wheels.It has chiselled rear with connected tail lamps,as well as which seems to be double roof spoiler. It measures 287mm long,1836mm wide and is 1504mm tail.The platform allows the wheelbase ranging from 2650mm to 3100mm.

MG is showcasing a futuristic and minimalist layout.The eye catching factor is the centre console area where it's placed high up,there seems to be a touch pad or a wireless phone charging slot,and there's a rotary knob for the drive modes.Alongside it is what seems to be the electric parking brake button.

There's also a noticeable slim floating touchscreen infotainment system,with the driver being treated to a small and yet a simplistic instrument cluster.Here the MSP platform will allow over - the - air updates as well as what MG calls Pixel Point Cloud Comprehensive Environment Mapping (PP CEM), required for autonomous driving tech.

 

Both 170PS and 204PS,drive power to rear wheels,with the most powerful MG4 variant capable of a 0-100kmph sprint in under 8 seconds with a top speed of 160kmph.This is not the ultimate as far as MG is concerned there is much powerful all - wheel drive options in the futuristic models.

As far as the range is concerned, the MG4 is capable up to a WTLP - claimed 350km(51kWh) and 450km(64kWh) ranges on a single charge.Another cool factor about the MSP platform is that it'll alloy 50:50 weight distribution.

For further details,you need to wait until September 2022 when the MG4 EV will launch in the UK.So it means that the second edition of MG EV will be introduced in India.It is marked for early 2023 arrival as a heavily localized model and will target a mass market segment with a price range of 10 - 15 Lakhs (ex-showroom).Its going to be a great competition against the Tata Nexon EV.
