The MG4 EV was developed under the codename EH32. It was developed as a global model with the European market set as the primary target. The model was part of a collaboration between SAIC Motor Design Center in Shanghai, the Advanced Design Studio in London and the
Royal College of Art. Based on the Modular Scalable Platform built ground-up specifically for battery electric vehicles, the MG4 EV has a wheelbase longer than typical cars in the segment, short
overhangs and only a very short front
bonnet. MG also engineered a thinner and flatter battery compared to typical battery electric vehicles with its "One Pack" battery system (called Rubik's Cube battery system in China), with a cell-to-pack (CTP) technology. The battery is only thick for the smallest capacity, which reduces the height of the car. The "One Pack" battery is also designed to be swappable. A performance-oriented model, the XPower, was introduced in July 2023. Since this period, the MG4 EV became equipped with a rear wiper, which was not included previously. Some variants also gained a larger 18-inch wheels with a new design. MG4 EV IMG 9351 (cropped).jpg|Rear view MG4 EV Automesse Ludwigsburg 2022 1X7A5937.jpg|Interior
MG4 EV XPower A
dual-motor, all-wheel-drive, performance-oriented model of the MG4 EV called XPower has been available since July 2023. It was marketed in China as the MG Mulan Triumph Edition. Exterior changes compared to the standard MG4 include a 18-inch alloy wheels, orange-painted XPower
brake calipers, trim accents, and a Racing Green exterior paint option. The powertrain combines dual electric motors, at the front and at the rear– for a combined output of and of torque. It is equipped with Dynamic Cornering Control System that combines an electronic
locking differential with
torque vectoring. MG claimed a acceleration figure in 3.8 seconds. It also uses a modified chassis setup, by using a 25 percent stiffer suspension with recalibrated spring and dampers and stiffer
anti-roll-bars, sharper steering, larger
disc brakes, and a stronger setting for the
regenerative braking. MG4 EV XPower Automesse Ludwigsburg 2023 1X7A0027.jpg|MG4 EV XPower MG4 EV XPower Automesse Ludwigsburg 2023 1X7A0030.jpg|Rear view
MG EX4 At the 2023
Goodwood Festival of Speed, MG revealed the EX4, a one-off tribute designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the
MG Metro 6R4 rally car of the 1980s. Based on the MG4 XPower and using the same dual electric motor powertrain as the XPower, the EX4 was designed in collaboration with high performance engineering company
RML Group, featuring widened wheel arches, aero disc wheels, a front splitter and a large rear spoiler, much like the original 6R4. The EX4 was driven by
BTCC driver
Daniel Rowbottom in demonstration runs up the Goodwood hill-climb course.

Safety Reception The MG4 EV has received praise from several UK automotive publications for its balance between affordability, performance, and features.
Top Gear highlighted the car's value, stating it "has range, charging, and zippy dynamics" at a lower price compared to competitors like the
Volkswagen ID.3. However, it noted that the seats could be uncomfortable for larger people, and the infotainment system stutters occasionally.
Autocar commended its handling and ride quality but mentioned the cabin noise insulation could be better. The
Auto Express review appreciated its affordability, with solid range and driving dynamics, but pointed out the lack of premium materials in the interior as a downside. Swedish publications
M3,
GP and
DN noted many small software and hardware issues plaguing the car, for example inexplicable charging interruptions, buggy infotainment and buggy driver assist features.
