MG4 EV review: Top value all-electric motoring

pocket-lint.com:

If you're looking for an affordable entry point into the world of electric cars there's not currently much in the way of choice. There's plenty that'll cost an arm and a leg, but in terms of value, it's hard to knock the growing portfolio of EVs from MG Motor.

The Chinese brand that now owns the iconic British badge has already given us the standard-fare MG ZS EV and the similarly sensible MG5 EV estate to beef up its all-electric range. Now though, there's the MG4 EV, which is an altogether more interesting proposition.

Where those other two cars are big on practicality and low on thrill factor, the MG4 EV is an exciting little bag of tricks. There's some interesting design going on too, with distinctive styling lines that take it up a notch or two from its rather pedestrian relatives.

Inside, there's a sensible cockpit that doesn't veer too far away from the middle-of-the-road vibes that come from other MG Motor cars. But, it's still interesting enough to like, rather than simply put up with.

Best of all though, the MG4 EV is a great car to drive. It's got a very respectable range, which is realistically good for well over 200 miles. There's also the way it'll get you there. The MG4 EV is a fantastic little hatchback that's practical around town, but really comes alive when you get it out into the countryside. It's a brilliant performer on tricky B-roads, with an agile chassis that you can throw around as you wish.

In that respect, the MG4 EV has to be one of the most interesting EVs on the road. That, and the excellent value makes it a real hit.
