No joke: that update many grown men – who, like me, are fed up with bland hatchbacks – have been waiting for has finally arrived. The new MG4 EV 2025 enters the electric ring with anything but subtle changes: it got bigger, promises (pay attention!) absurd range, and arrives kicking down the door of the international hatchback segment. If sweat and tears haven’t been enough for you to save on fuel, sit down because this experience might be worth every penny invested.
Did the new MG4 EV 2025 really change, or is it just factory marketing?
I know how it is: you hear about facelifts and think it’s just a cosmetic update to the old design. But the truth here is different: the MG4 EV 2025 has thrown the past in the trash. The car grew in all three main dimensions, with a length of 4,395 mm (now almost a compact SUV, my friend!), a width of 1,842 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,750 mm. This translates into decent interior space, even for those who have failed a tight car assessment about 50 times.
No shortcuts with the engine. This beast packs a 120 kW (163 hp) rear-wheel-drive motor, ensuring rear-wheel traction, a McPherson front suspension, and a multi-link rear suspension. For those who value stability – and I hate the “soft” suspension of cheap EVs – the promise here is a firm ride. By the way, if you’re interested in bold vehicles, you can check out the 2026 Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake and see how the competition is adapting.
Design: Why did the Cyberster inspiration draw so much attention?
Sporty design isn’t just brochure talk. It took the Cyberster’s DNA and dove headfirst into it: split headlights, a closed front grille, a new illuminated emblem, and an aggressive hood with muscular creases. The rear, friend, now features connected taillights with an arrow-shaped light signature – a detail easy to recognize even for those who don’t know a thing about customization.
The new Donglai Purple and Qingbo Green colors are pure show-off – European pigments, pearlescent, and with tons of effects in the light. For those who like to draw attention and curse anyone who doubts their color choices, the menu is open.

Is the MG4 EV’s interior now high-tech, or just another giant screen?
Nothing against big screens, but I always look askance at electric car interiors that resemble a streamer’s living room. The MG4 EV 2025 has taken a step further, focusing on real connectivity. Together with Oppo (yes, the smartphone company), the MG×Oppo platform promises voice commands that actually work (not those buggy pieces of junk), app synchronization, gesture navigation, and instant smartphone pairing.
The idea is for you to feel like you’re in the future without looking like an idiot explaining to passengers why the Bluetooth isn’t pairing. With native wireless connectivity, it’s closer to a premium electric vehicle than a mall toy. In fact, if you want to see another example of a technological turnaround, it’s worth checking out the 2026 Volvo EX30 Cross Country, which is not playing around in the segment.
Is the MG4’s range out of this world, or just advertising hype?
Here, take a deep breath. Rumors and documents indicate that the MG4 EV 2025 might feature a semi-solid battery supplied by Rept Battero Energy, promising up to 800 km of range on the CLTC cycle. That’s right, 800 km – almost double what many boastful EVs promise and fail to deliver. Of course, this figure depends on how heavy your foot is, but for urban/mixed use, it’s a punch to the competition’s gut.
An option for those who hate being tethered to mall outlets. The new semi-solid battery system is even mentioned in technical analyses. Additionally, the weight has been reduced to 1,485 kg, which is crucial for performance and range. If you still think it’s an exaggeration, it’s worth remembering the success of Chinese EVs in Europe and comparing it, for example, with other high-tech sports cars that push the numbers.
How does the MG4 EV 2025 stack up against the international competition?
The sector isn’t having an easy time – electric hatchbacks are coming out left and right: BYD Dolphin Plus, Volvo EX30, Renault Megane E-Tech. But check out this quick bullet point so there’s no doubt:
MG4 EV 2025 vs. Direct Competitors
- BYD Dolphin Plus: Less range, conservative design
- Volvo EX30: High-tech interior, but limited space
- Renault Megane E-Tech: Good numbers, higher price tag
- MG4 EV 2025: New sporty design, top connectivity, and otherworldly range
And if you, like me, enjoy laughing at the surreal prices of premium cars, it’s worth remembering: they’re all playing in the $35,000 to $55,000 price range, excluding incentives. In other words, there are no miracles, but there are sensible choices. For those who appreciate innovation, I also recommend taking a look at this revolutionary Mercedes-AMG concept to see where the industry is heading.
Battery, Connectivity, and Performance: Is it enough to convince the mature man to change cars?
Now, straight talk: the MG4 EV 2025 risks convincing even the most stubborn, especially men over 45, that crowd tired of changing engine parts every 6,000 miles. If electric cars used to be synonymous with makeshift solutions and range anxiety, this has the potential to be a game-changer. And speaking of change, the lighter weight and carefully tuned suspension make the car less “mushy” than most entry-level EVs out there.
If you’re tired of wasting time at the mechanic, the solution might be here – unless you’re waiting for a V8 hybrid to roar like a demon. For those seeking impressive specs, I recommend checking out the 2025 Subaru WRX tS, which shows how to combine tradition and technology, if that’s more your style.
