As modern electric vehicles (EVs) have evolved, so has the MG 4 Excite 2024, seeking the middle ground between affordability, performance, and practicality that its competitors have taken for granted. The MG 4 is MG's first dedicated electric model, so it represents the brand's investment in the future.
Design and Exterior
Firstly, the MG 4 Excite adopts a more contemporary and active-looking approach. Its shape — with sharp lines, an aerodynamic profile, and a commanding slant — adds to the vehicle's good looks and efficiency. Up front are LED headlights that flow perfectly into the grille-less design, a signature of modern EVs. The rear is just as interesting, featuring a one-of-a-kind light bar connecting the taillights, making the car appear stroked out. The sporty appearance is further enhanced by the aero covers of the 17-inch alloy wheels, which help reduce aerodynamic drag.
Interior and Comfort
Move indoors and the MG 4 Excite provides a roomy and well-laid out interior. Nestled into the minimalist dashboard is a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment setup powered by MG’s 'iSmart Lite' software which allows for FM/DAB+ digital radio, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 7.0-inch digital driver’s display streamlines the driving experience with clear, concise graphics. The seating is trimmed in cloth, comfortable seating (at least for short commutes) for both short hops and long hauls. The rear seats have generous legroom and it has a boot with 363 liters of cargo space, extendable to 1177 liters when the rear seats are folded down, covering most storage needs.
Performance and Handling
The MG 4 Excite 2024 derives from the Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), boasting a rear-wheel-drive layout that enhances its engaging driving dynamics. The 64kWh battery units, however, cranks out 150kW and 250 Nm of torque, going from 0-100 km/h in 7.2 seconds. The 50:50 weight distribution and independent suspension system of the vehicle provide balanced handling and a comfortable ride. Available driving modes ranging from Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, and Custom help drivers adjust the driving experience according to their preferences and the road's conditions.
Battery and Charging
With a 64kWh battery capacity, MG 4 Excite has a WLTP-rated range of around 450 kilometers, ideal for city driving and longer journeys alike. The vehicle comes with DC fast charging support up to 140kW, allowing for quicker charging of the battery, an important factor in reducing downtime on the road. The MG 4 Excite also features vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability, allowing the vehicle to supply power to external devices, a practical touch.
Safety Features
That said, safety in the MG 4 Excite is a major focus. The MG also gets MG Pilot driver assistance systems and comes with features such as adaptive cruise with traffic jam assist, lane departure with lane keeping assist, driver attention alert, autonomous emergency content with pedestrian and cyclist detection. These attributes net it five-star ANCAP ratings, scoring 83% in adult protection, 86% in child protection, 75% in pedestrian protection and 81% in safety assist.
Technology and Connectivity
Also part of the specs list is a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with FM/DAB+ digital radio, Apple CarPlay (wired), and Android Auto. The system delivers numerous features, though some drivers find sporadic bugs in the software and the lack of wireless smartphone integration to be downsides that may get addressed with future updates.
Pricing and Value
