The MG 4 EV is a 5-door hatchback from SAIC Motor, built from 2022, in the decade the industry is turning electric.
Where it came from
The MG4 EV or MG4 Electric is a battery electric small family car (C-segment) produced by the Chinese automotive manufacturer SAIC Motor under the British MG marque. First released in June 2022 as the MG Mulan in China (renamed MG4 EV in August 2023), it was introduced in Europe in July 2022.
In March 2025, MG Motor introduced a second model of the MG4 EV to the Chinese market. It adopts a different design, has a larger footprint, and is based on a different platform. Outside China, the model is sold alongside the existing MG4 EV model as the MG4 EV Urban.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a 5-door hatchback. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
In context
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Ningde, Fujian. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan Z, the Tesla Cybertruck, the Kia EV6 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the SAIC Motor catalogue sit the MG S5 EV and the MG ZS EV.
