The MG4 EV is a battery electric small family car (C-segment) produced by the Chinese automotive manufacturer SAIC Motor under the British MG marque. First released in June 2022 as the MG Mulan in China, it is the first vehicle to be based on SAIC's battery electric Modular Scalable Platform (marketed as the Nebula platform in China). It was introduced in Europe as the MG4 EV in July 2022.[4]

Overview

Developed under the codename EH32,[5] the car was designed as a global model with the European market set as the primary target.[6]

The MG4 EV is claimed to have a 50:50 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity of 490 mm (19.3 in) for superior handling. MG also engineered a thinner and flatter battery compared to typical battery electric vehicles with its "One Pack" battery system (called Rubik’s Cube battery system in China). The battery is only 110 mm (4.3 in) thin for the smallest capacity, which reduces the height of the car. The "One Pack" battery is also designed to be swappable.

The Modular Scalable Platform also enables 800-volt charging technology, which allows the car to achieve a range of 200 km (124 mi) after five minutes of charging and reach 80 percent level within 15 minutes. For models equipped with the regular 400-volt charging technology, five minutes of charging will be enough to reach 100 km (62 mi) of range and take 30 minutes for charging to 80 percent level.[7]

Initially, the MG4 EV will be available with either 51 kWh or 64 kWh battery, offering 350–450 km (217–280 mi) of WLTP range and 125–150 kW (168–201 hp; 170–204 PS) of horsepower. A dual-motor, all-wheel drive model with 64 kWh battery and 330 kW (443 hp; 449 PS) will follow. The dual-motor model is claimed to provide a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) figure of 3.8 seconds with a top speed limited to 99 mph (159 km/h).

The MG4 EV is also marketed in Thailand as the MG4 Electric since November 2022.[8] The MG4 EV was launched in Indonesia on 16 February 2023 at the 30th Indonesia International Motor Show.
