We like the MG4 and, judging by the sales figures, it looks like you do too. We're not sure it needs this much power though. Nor are we quite sure what kind of car this is. It professes to be the market's first electric hot hatch, but around the twisty stuff, this XPOWER variant doesn't really deliver the immersive handling fluidity that a car of that sort would really need.
It's a very decent first stab at the genre though - at a very affordable price. In fact, we can't think of any other car under £40,000 that would hurl you at the horizon very much faster. If that's what you want from a small EV hatch, then by all means try one of these. It's a sign of this Chinese brand's growing ambition. And, in its own way, a quick, aspirational, very ambitious little EV.
