The new MG4 Urban has landed in Australia with a sharp price tag of $31,990 driveaway, putting it right at the centre of the country’s growing battle for the cheapest EV.
In this review, we take the MG4 Urban out on Sydney roads to see what you actually get at this price point, and whether it’s enough to convince buyers to ditch petrol.
There’s a refreshed look inspired by the MG Cyberster, a reworked interior with a bigger screen, and some meaningful updates under the skin. With rivals like the Aion UT landing at a similar price, is this the EV to beat in the low-cost segment?
