Has the Dolphin met its match? On August 5, the all-new MG4 commenced pre-sales with an official price range of 73,800 to 105,800 yuan. Positioned as a pure electric compact hatchback, this vehicle marks a significant leap in the market. Notably, a version equipped with semi-solid-state batteries will be available, with pricing to be announced in September and mass deliveries anticipated by the end of the year.

Design-wise, the MG4 undergoes a "complete transformation." It boasts a large, closed front fascia adorned with a honeycomb-shaped air intake at the bottom. The headlights have been redesigned, lending the car a more rounded appearance, and the prominent MG logo can illuminate. Traditional door handles remain a hit, while smoked through-type taillights and arrow-shaped light clusters on both sides enhance visibility. Dimensionally, the MG4 measures 4395/1842/1551mm (L/W/H) with a wheelbase of 2750mm.

Inside, the all-new MG4 features a 15.6-inch floating central control screen powered by an 8155 chip. As a first, this vehicle integrates the OPPO Smart Car System, offering a seamless driver-vehicle interconnection experience. Users can even use voice commands on their phones to prepare the car and continue applications. Additionally, an electronic column shifter adds to the convenience.

Remarkably, the MG4 is the sole model in its class to adopt CTB battery-to-body integration technology. Under the hood, it is powered by a single electric motor with a maximum power of 120kW and peak torque of 250N·m. Boasting a maximum CLTC pure electric range of 530km, the MG4 is equipped with the world's first mass-produced semi-solid-state battery, significantly enhancing safety and improving winter range and battery life, making it an ideal choice for Northeast China.

Final Thoughts

The all-new SAIC MG4 presents a comprehensive upgrade in both exterior and interior design, with a starting price of 73,800 yuan reflecting its sincerity. Positioned to compete with models like the Dolphin and ID.3, the MG4's product capabilities and pricing strategy could very well make it a standout success.
