The 2026 MG MG4 Essence 64 is a five-seat electric hatchback with rear-wheel drive and a 140kW motor. It's priced from $39,990 RRP, which is before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty. You get a 64kWh battery, a WLTP range of 452km and DC fast charging that peaks at 154kW. The catch is towing, which is rated at 500kg braked, so it's not the car for a big trailer or caravan. It suits someone after an affordable EV for daily driving who wants a reasonable 350 litres of boot space.

The 2026 MG MG4 Excite 51 is a compact electric hatchback that suits budget-conscious Australian buyers seeking affordable EV practicality, offering 350km range and a 500kg towing capacity in a five-seater with a 363-litre boot. Its standout strength is the 10-year warranty and impressively low running costs of around $1,289 annually, combining with 5-star ANCAP safety to deliver excellent ownership value. The one consideration is its 125kW power output is modest compared to some rivals, meaning acceleration is adequate rather than spirited, though the 250Nm torque suits daily driving well.

The 2026 MG MG4 Long Range 77 is an affordable electric hatchback that suits budget-conscious buyers wanting practical everyday transport, offering genuine 530km of driving range between charges and a lengthy 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Its standout strength is the combination of 180kW power, 350Nm torque and rear-wheel-drive handling wrapped in a 5-star ANCAP-rated package, delivering engaging performance without the premium pricing of European rivals. One consideration is that at 1748kg it's heavier than petrol equivalents, so while it can tow 500kg, you'll want to factor in reduced range when hauling loads.
