Meet what seems certain to be one of our stars of 2022 (yes, really) ⚡️
While it’s normal journalistic practice to try and maintain suspense for as long as possible, sometimes even reversing the critical flow with a Clarkson-esque key change half way through, I’m going to break with that convention here. Because the MG4 looks set to be a breakthrough car, both for those looking for a relatively low-cost EV but also - more importantly - for anybody seeking accessible thrills.
The range is simplicity itself: three models, six colours and no options. The entry-level MG4 SE is offered with either a 51kWh or 64kWh battery pack, those translating into official ranges of 218 miles and 281 miles respectively. The smaller battery has a slightly less powerful 167hp output, the bigger one unleashes the full 201hp - but the lighter 51kWh car is slightly faster, posting a 7.5-sec 0-60mph time while the brawnier pack takes two-tenths longer.
Quality feels good. My last up-close experience of an SAIC-era MG was the MG6 Magnette, a car with interior trim sharp enough to sometimes draw blood. I was rude enough about it to have been taken off the invite list for more than a decade, but I’m happy to confirm the MG4 is in an entirely different league. Panel gaps are tight and consistent, the paint finish looks good up close and I open the door without having to breathe the pungent aroma of the cheap plastics given off by the low-rent MG6.
Yet it doesn’t take much to discover its fun side. MG had chosen Bicester Heritage as a starting venue, and rain started to fall just as I was heading out for a route made up of some favourite local roads. But I hadn’t even got to the first of these - the moderately demanding B4011 towards Thame - before the other side of the MG4’s character had manifested itself on some of Bicester’s many roundabouts.
