The all-new MG4 has just been unveiled in China with an astonishing price of only 73,800 yuan, which is about 9,200 euros.
No lies in our headline, the base price of the MG4 is indeed four times lower than the Chinese price of a Tesla Model Y offered at around 36,000 euros. A price that will certainly pique interest… even if European buyers will have to expect a significantly higher cost once taxes and homologation fees are applied. Because while the price of a Tesla in China is quite similar to that in Europe, for Chinese cars, it can vary from double to triple!
Based on an updated platform, the 2025 MG4 offers generous dimensions for its category: 4.40 m long, 1.84 m wide, and 1.55 m high, with an extended wheelbase of 2.75 m. It showcases a modernized design, featuring arrow-shaped LED taillights and a backlit MG logo.
Under the hood, it comes with a 120 kW (163 hp) electric motor delivering 250 Nm of torque, propelling the MG4 to speeds of up to 160 km/h. Two LFP batteries are offered: 42.8 kWh (437 km CLTC) and 53.9 kWh (530 km CLTC), with fast charging from 30 to 80% in just 20 minutes.
A cutting-edge electric compact
A notable feature, the MG4 will soon be available with a semi-solid battery, a first in mass production. More resistant to cold and mechanical stress, it promises better safety and increased longevity.
Inside, the cabin rivals premium brands: a 15.6’’ 2.5K screen, MG x Oppo interface, voice commands, compatibility with Android/iOS/Huawei/Xiaomi, OTA updates… Comfort is not overlooked with ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, and up to 30 interior storage spaces.
If this MG4 were sold tomorrow in Europe at its Chinese price, it would be a huge success. However, with the elimination of Chinese subsidies, European tariffs, and compliance costs, the final price is expected to double, likely approaching 19,000 to 20,000 euros for the base version.

Even at this price, the MG4 would still be much cheaper than its European and Korean rivals and would align with the same strategy as the MGS5, which is already shaking up the compact electric SUV market with its ultra-aggressive prices.
In conclusion, the MG4 is shaping up to be a nightmare for the competition. It remains to be seen whether its European version will retain this same explosive formula.
