Our take on this /// Verdict
The MG 4 EV is a game-changer in the Indian electric vehicle market, offering a compelling package of style, performance, and value. From my experience, this car stands out for its zippy dynamics, comfortable ride, and well-equipped interior. Although it may not be the most exciting car to look at, it more than makes up for it with its practicality and features. The MG 4 EV handles beautifully, with a rear-wheel drive setup that provides a sporty feel without compromising on comfort. However, there are some minor issues such as narrow and under-padded seats, and occasional software bugs in the infotainment system. Despite these, the MG 4 EV is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and fun-to-drive electric hatchback.
Price
The MG 4 EV, if launched in India, is expected to be priced competitively, likely in the Rs 25-30 lakh bracket. This pricing positions it above the MG ZS EV but still within a range that makes it an attractive option for those seeking a stylish and feature-rich electric vehicle. The exact ex-showroom and on-road prices would depend on various factors including state-specific taxes and additional costs such as registration and insurance. However, given its features and performance, the MG 4 EV promises to offer excellent value for money, making it a strong contender in the Indian EV market.
