Has the seagull really encountered a tough opponent this time? It's even larger than the dolphin! Pre-sale price starts at 73,800 yuan, with a maximum range of up to 530 km.
As people's income continues to rise, more and more families are starting to purchase a second car because it's time for the female owner to have a means of transportation. However, in the era of fuel vehicles, meeting the needs of this user group still requires a considerable cost, and it may not necessarily satisfy consumers everywhere. For example, with a budget of around 100,000 yuan, only the Fit, Polo, etc. from foreign brands can be considered, and for domestic ones, it would be some small SUVs or entry-level compact sedan models. If there are high requirements for space, configuration, and power, it's difficult to be satisfied. But now it's the era of new energy, and low price doesn't mean poor experience. Recently, MG has launched the new MG4.
Currently, the new car has started pre-sale, with four configurations available. The pre-sale price range is 73,800 - 105,800 yuan. This already indicates MG's sincerity, because MG4 (parameters | inquiry) is a compact two-door car, and its competitor is undoubtedly BYD Dolphin, but its guidance price is obviously much higher, and this is only the pre-sale price. Now, which new car's final price won't be lower than the pre-sale price? So, if you needed a pure electric compact two-door car with a budget of around 100,000 yuan, now it might only cost 60,000 - 70,000 yuan. If MG4 can also provide a good product experience, then even BYD Dolphin will be affected.
Let's talk about the design part. The exterior of MG4 is still quite fashionable and exquisite. For example, the new style of the headlights at the front of the car, it brings a rather sharp visual effect, and when they are lit up, they can also enhance the recognition. And the segmented air intake below is decorated with honeycomb patterns, the purpose is to enhance the sportiness. It's worth mentioning that the new car also adopts a glowing brand logo, although this design is quite common nowadays, it really conforms to the aesthetic of young consumers and also enhances the sense of identity.
Thanks to the size advantage, with a car length of nearly 4.4 meters and an axle distance of 2750mm, the car's presence is also quite adequate. The long wheelbase and short front and rear overhang ratio further ensure the handling performance. Key is that friends with high requirements for space no longer need to worry, compared to Dolphin, it's one size larger, won't you be disappointed? As for the rear design, the main highlight is the lamp group. The blackened lamp and the internal structure on both sides combined together have a very sporty feel， and the addition of the slightly raised small tail fin also enhances the layering effect.
When entering the car， regardless of whether it's a domestic new energy vehicle or the previous traditional fuel vehicle from foreign brands， it's very difficult to give a sense of luxury for just a few thousand yuan. But MG4 is eye-catching. This is because the color scheme of the new car is quite attractive. The rose purple and dark mountain blue are two colors that you can tell what kind of visual effect they will bring just by the name. You can also experience it through real photos. Moreover， the dual-spoke multifunctional steering wheel， small-sized LCD instrument， and shift knob design are also quite attractive to young consumers. However， the floating central control screen is somewhat unexpected. It actually has three sizes， namely 10.25 inches， 12.8 inches， and 15.6 inches， and each screen resolution is also different.
So， friends who are focused on configuration and experience， pay attention. Among the four models currently on sale， if you are looking for the ultimate cost-effectiveness and consider the entry-level version， you can only have good space and range， and even considering the mid-to-high-end version， you can get panoramic imaging， electric trunk， automatic folding of the rearview mirror when the car is locked， dual-zone voice control system， mobile APP remote control， front seat electric adjustment， and 256-color ambient lighting functions.
For a vehicle priced at around 90，000 yuan， this is not excellent. As for the top-level version， compared to the configuration of BYD Dolphin at the same price range， it can only be on par.
Finally, regarding the powertrain, the MG4 is equipped with a six-in-one motor, with a maximum power of 120kW. This feature is quite impressive as it can be standard across the entire range, giving it a leading performance in the same class when it comes to acceleration within the first 100 kilometers. The range options are 437km and 530km, which is a normal performance compared to competitors in the same price range. However, the official statement indicates that a semi-solid-state battery version will be launched in the future, which will help improve winter range and battery lifespan. But the price is still unclear, so don't expect too much.
In summary: Actually, those who know MG are aware that the MG4 is not a completely new model. It was initially targeted at the foreign market after its launch, and due to its relatively high domestic price, it didn't gain much popularity. But this upgrade truly shows MG's sincerity. The design is fashionable and the price is competitive. As a result, the new car's pre-sale received over 100,000 orders within 24 hours. So when the official price is announced, if there are any surprises, it will undoubtedly be another option for consumers who want a pure electric vehicle for daily commuting.
