MG4 Owner’s Guide (2022–present)

Technically reviewed by Daniel Wei Chen — Senior Chinese Automotive Diagnostics & Repair Specialist, Sydney · 19 August 2026

The MG4 is really five different electric cars under one badge — 49, 51, 64 and 77 kWh batteries plus the twin-motor XPower — and since 2025 there are two generations: the original (sold as “New MG4 EV”) and the second-generation MG4 EV Urban on a new platform. Every figure below is variant-specific; identify yours first.

⚠ UK owners — superlock recall. R/2022/355 (Jan 2023): the MG4 could “superlock” while still in running mode. Free dealer fix — check your VIN via our MG Recalls Tracker.

First generation (EH32) — variants at a glance

VariantMotor(s)Kerb weight
49 / 51 kWhRear, up to 125 kW / 250 Nm1,620–1,645 kg
64 kWhRear, up to 150 kW1,635–1,651 kg
XPower (64 kWh 4WD)Front 150 + rear 170 = 320 kW~1,800 kg
77 kWh (Extended Range)Rear, up to 180 kW / 350 Nm~1,750 kg

Official owner’s-manual figures (Middle-East edition, Technical Data pp. 318–326), cross-checked against independently verified model records — the XPower’s 320 kW combined and the 77 kWh’s 180 kW both reconcile exactly.
