MG MG4 Electric Standard

Performance

The MG MG4 Electric Standard has a maximum power of 125 kW (170 hp / 168 bhp) and a total torque of 250 Nm (184 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 51.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 50.8 kWh, with a 0.2 kWh buffer (0.4%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 332.8 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

The Lithium-Ion battery utilizes LFP technology, which offers advantages and disadvantages compared to typical NCA/NMC batteries.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 350 km (218 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.5 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh).

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 87 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 83 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 36 minutes with an average charging speed of 59 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 3% to 60%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 59 kW, with each charging session taking about 29 minutes and 18 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 11 hours and 3 minutes, needing six charging stops from 3% to 56%, totaling 164 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 6.6 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 7 hours and 41 minutes with a standard home setup.

An optional 11 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 37 minutes.

Brakes

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are four levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.

The maximum regenerative braking power is 50 kW.
