MG launches the MG4 electric in two versions but still at an affordable price

With the arrival of the MG4 EV 2026, MG now distinguishes between two technical approaches for its electric compact car.
MG is profoundly evolving its strategy around the MG4 EV. The range is now structured around two distinct versions. The previous generation MG4 becomes Urban, designed as a rational entry point into electric vehicles, while the MG4 EV 2026 aims to be more technological and performance-oriented with a focus on range.
Architecturally, the MG4 EV Urban remains a reliable choice with a mix of efficiency and space. Based on a simplified technical configuration, it retains the modular MSP platform but with settings focused on comfort and family use. The goal is clear: to maximize habitability, optimize energy efficiency, and keep costs down, without sacrificing the fundamentals expected from a modern electric compact.
Two versions, two philosophies
In contrast, the MG4 EV 2026 benefits from a more advanced evolution of its components. MG announces an upgrade in perceived quality inside, enhanced technological integration (interfaces, driver assistance, connectivity), as well as specific work on driving dynamics. The Long Range and Extended Range versions emphasize real-world range, with revised thermal and electronic management to improve overall efficiency.
The difference is also marked at the level of powertrains. While the Urban focuses on economical and balanced configurations, the MG4 EV can go up to Dual Motor variations, particularly with the XPOWER version, developing up to 320 kW, confirming its more sporting positioning.

Another differentiating factor is the usage philosophy. The Urban primarily targets an audience looking for an accessible, simple, and versatile first electric car. The classic version is aimed at more demanding customers, sensitive to range, performance, and technological advancement.
In the United Kingdom, the MG4 EV 2026 starts at £29,995, which is just under €35,000, likely its launch price in France. This positioning suggests an aggressive strategy ahead of its expected launch in the coming weeks. MG thus confirms its intention to intelligently segment its electric offering without compromising its DNA: to offer more for less.
