Since MG was taken over by the Chinese SAIC conglomerate, the models it's sold have been good value, well equipped and practical. But prior to the launch of this car, they were never desirable or dynamically truly class competitive. All that changed with the introduction of this MG4. It's one of the most surprising cars we've reviewed in the last few years. All the engineering stuff stacks up, it looks good and driving range and charging figures are all up to snuff.
You might find the minimalist interior a bit sombre and criticise a few of the plastics. But you'll forget all that when you find that this car can cost the best part of £10,000 less than some of its obvious competitors, is better equipped and comes with a 7 year warranty. After trying an MG4, you may well still decide you want a better-known segment rival. But make no mistake: if you're choosing an EV in this class, try one you must.
