    Verdict<\/h2>\n

    The MG4 Extended Range does what it says on the tin, managing to achieve impressive range figures without compromising on efficiency or its driving dynamics. But as the price of the car creeps up, so does the focus on its interior quality and digital interfaces, both of which fall short.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    One of the undoubted star cars of 2023 has been the all-electric MG4, and to judge from the sheer numbers you see on the road, it appears buyers agree. Yet as the model matures, so its maker continues to diversify the line-up, from the wickedly powerful XPower hot hatch to this new Extended Range model.<\/p>\n

    Visually, there\u2019s little to tell this fresh version apart from its range-mates, save for new wheels, but what lies underneath is a healthy upgrade in battery capacity. Now packing 77kWh, up from the Long Range\u2019s 58kWh, and 44kWh in the base car, this MG4 has a claimed WLTP range of 323 miles, up from 270 and 218 respectively.<\/p>\n

    From behind the wheel, the extra weight in the battery pack is almost imperceptible \u2013 so aside from some bigger range numbers on the driver\u2019s display, there\u2019s very little to tell between the two. A difference you might spot, however, is the extra cost, because at \u00a336,495, this MG creeps ever closer to rivals such as the Hyundai Kona Electric or Kia Niro EV, which offer similar ranges.<\/p>\n

    As a result, the MG4\u2019s limitations start to show, because compared with the more rounded and better-built Korean options, the MG\u2019s interior quality and tech are rather exposed. The interior plastics are fine, but no better than that, and while the 10.25-inch infotainment screen is on target for size and clarity, its interfaces are slow to respond and can be frustrating to use on the move.<\/p>\n
