Should you buy an MG4 EV in 2026? Is the facelifted MG4 still one of the best-value electric cars in the UK, and is a used MG4 a bargain or a risk? In this MG4 EV review we look at the real UK prices for the new Premium Long Range, Premium Extended Range and XPOWER, why the MG4 doesn't get the government Electric Car Grant, real-world range and charging, the What Car? reliability results, the DVSA recall, Euro NCAP safety, the new interior, boot space, towing, running costs, insurance and depreciation.
We break down MG4 range and battery for each version (64kWh Long Range up to 280 miles WLTP, 77kWh Extended Range up to 338 miles), rapid-charging times, and what the 2026 facelift changed: a new 12.8-inch touchscreen, digital driver's display and physical climate buttons. We also cover MG4 reliability and common problems on earlier cars, the free gov.uk recall check, the 5-star Euro NCAP rating from 2022, the 7-year / 80,000-mile warranty, the 500kg towing limit, the cost of charging at home versus public rapid chargers, and which MG4 to buy or avoid, new or used. All figures are based on MG Motor UK's current prices and specifications, Euro NCAP data, DVSA recall records, the What Car? Reliability Survey and current AutoTrader listings at the time of filming. Prices, offers and specifications change, so always confirm the current on-the-road price and any offers with your dealer, check the car's recall history, and get an independent inspection before you buy.
