MG has expanded the MG4 family with the MG 4X, an electric crossover that reworks the hatchback’s packaging into a more SUV‑like silhouette. The 4X is positioned below MG’s larger models and aims to offer a practical, tech‑rich EV for urban and suburban buyers.
Design and Dimensions
- Overall length: 4,500 mm; wheelbase: 2,735 mm — the 4X sits squarely in the subcompact crossover segment, offering a roomier stance than the hatchback MG4 while remaining easy to park in city environments.
- Styling borrows cues from the latest MG4 family design language: a clean front fascia, coupe‑like roofline, and a raised ride height that gives it SUV presence without bulk.
Powertrain and Range Options
- Motor choices: Entry variants use a 125 kW electric motor, while higher trims step up to 150 kW, giving buyers a clear performance ladder.
- Battery figures: Early reports list a 53.95 kWh pack for some variants, while other official listings show a 70 kWh option—this suggests MG will offer multiple battery sizes to balance price and range. Buyers should expect different WLTP/NEDC ranges depending on the chosen pack.
Tech, Safety and Packaging
- The 4X inherits the MG4’s modern infotainment and driver‑assist architecture, with likely features such as a large central touchscreen, connected services, and standard ADAS aids in higher trims. Regulatory filings and early previews indicate a focus on value-packed equipment for the segment.
Practicality and Ownership for India (Surat context)
- Size and cargo: The 4X’s compact exterior with a stretched wheelbase should translate to usable rear legroom and a practical boot for city families.
- India prospects: Industry coverage suggests MG may position the 4X as a replacement or complement to the ZS EV in markets like India; early estimates have speculated a competitive starting price around ₹25.99 lakh (ex‑showroom) if localized pricing and incentives align. Prospective buyers in Surat, Gujarat should watch MG Motor India announcements and local dealer inventories for launch timing and BaaS/Battery options.
Verdict — Who Should Consider the MG 4X?
- Urban families and first‑time EV buyers who want SUV styling with hatchback agility.
- Buyers seeking multiple range/performance choices—the 125 kW/150 kW motor options and two battery sizes give flexibility.
- Value seekers who want modern tech and MG’s dealer support in India, provided MG confirms local pricing and service plans.
