The MG4 is an exciting new entry-level EV for Malaysia. Priced from RM104K, there are 4 variants. One does 0-100km/h in 3.8 sec and another with 520km range.
and it has an attractive starting price of just slightly above RM100,000. There’s a lot to expect from his compact EV as it has gotten a lot of awards and recognition in Europe.For Malaysia, SAIC Motor is introducing a total of four MG4 variants. There are three rear-wheel drive models and a range-topping AWD model called the XPower. Here’s the estimated pricing for the Malaysian market:MG dealers in Malaysia are now accepting bookings for the EV.
For those who favour performance over range, SAIC Motor Malaysia is also introducing the MG4 XPower which is a souped up AWD version. The dual motor setup produces an insane 320kW and 600Nm, and it can get from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. That’s slightly quicker than theThe MG4 XPower shares the same 64kWh battery as the Lux variant but it has a shorter range of up to 385km on the WLTP cycle.
The MG4 still offers dedicated physical controls for power mirrors, indicator stalks and it also features a rotary gear selector mounted on a slightly protruding “floating” centre console. The console also houses a wireless charging pad and electronic parking brake.

While the MG4 interior is quite decent for a hatchback, the Dolphin’s seats are more comfortable and it even gets an armrest for rear occupants. On top of that, the Dolphin Extended Range model even comes with ventilated front seats and a panoramic glass roof with built-in blinds for a more upmarket experience.
