Design & Looks
The Urban wears a fresh front‑drive look inspired by the MG Cyberster roadster. While it shares the MG 4 badge, the body is slimmer and the roofline drops a little, giving it a sportier silhouette. Inside you get a 15.6‑inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 7‑inch digital instrument cluster. Standard LED headlights, adaptive cruise control and blind‑spot detection make the cabin feel modern and safe.
Performance & Mileage
The entry‑level Comfort Standard Range packs a 43 kWh battery that delivers 201 miles (WLTP) and a single 147 bhp motor. 0‑62 mph takes 9.6 seconds and the top speed is 99 mph. Faster trims get a larger 53.9 kWh pack (258 miles) and a 158 bhp motor, shaving a tenth of a second off the 0‑62 time. All models support up to 150 kW rapid charging, and the vehicle‑to‑load feature lets you power external devices from the battery.
Price & Rivals
Pricing is straightforward:
- Comfort Standard Range – £23,495
- Comfort Long Range – £25,495
- Premium Long Range – £27,995
These prices undercut many rivals in the sub‑£30,000 EV segment, such as the Nissan Leaf and Peugeot e‑208, while offering a larger screen, more tech and the option of vehicle‑to‑load power.
