MG has lifted the lid off something special – the New MG4 EV isn’t just another electric hatchback, it’s the world’s first affordable EV to pack semi-solid-state battery technology. This isn’t your typical facelift story; MG has rewritten the rules of what budget-friendly electric mobility can offer and the entire auto industry is sitting up and taking notice.

Game-Changing Battery Tech That Actually Matters

Here’s where it gets interesting – the MG4 EV semi-solid-state battery from QingTao Energy has just 5% liquid electrolyte compared to traditional batteries. What does this mean for you? Better safety (it passed a brutal 360-degree puncture test), 13.8% better cold-weather performance, and a solid 537km CLTC range from its 70kWh battery pack.

The semi-solid-state battery achieves a solid energy density of 180 Wh/kg, which is highly competitive and a remarkable feat for a battery of this kind at a mass-market price point. Think of it as getting tomorrow’s tech in today’s budget.

Pricing That Won’t Break the Bank

The MG4 EV launch date for India is late 2025 with industry insiders suggesting an MG4 EV price starting around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom). In China, the regular variants start at just 68,800 yuan (around Rs 8.5 lakh) while the semi-solid-state Anxin Edition commands 102,800 yuan (roughly Rs 12.7 lakh). That’s aggressive pricing for world-first technology.

Power That Delivers Where It Counts

Powering the new MG4 EV is a front-mounted electric motor that generates 161 horsepower. The car is tuned for efficient daily driving, with a focus on providing adequate performance without unnecessary complexity.While the standard variant offers ample power for daily commuting, the high-performance XPOWER model of the MG4 is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 3.8 seconds, a figure that rivals many top-tier sports cars. but for daily driving and highway cruising, it hits that sweet spot of adequate performance without unnecessary complexity.

The MG4 EV booking process for India hasn’t opened yet but given MG’s track record with the ZS EV and Comet EV, expect online reservations to go live closer to the launch window.

Design That Commands Attention

The new MG4 EV gets styling cues from MG’s Cyberster sports car with sculpted LED headlights, illuminated MG logo and arrow-style taillights with a full-width light bar. At 4,395mm long with a 2,750mm wheelbase, it’s grown from the previous generation and shed around 120kg of weight.

The cabin gets a major tech upgrade with the MG×Oppo cockpit system that integrates smartphone functions, voice commands, gesture navigation. There’s also a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging pad and Level 2+ assisted driving features including highway autopilot.
