US Edition2026 MG 4 EV Urban hatch priced sharply against BYD, GAC and GWM rivals
The MG4 EV Urban offers front-wheel drive and two lithium iron phosphate battery options, priced from $31,990 drive-away, undercutting rivals like BYD and GWM, MG said.
- The MG4 Urban small electric hatch arrives in Australian dealerships on April 1, 2026, priced from $31,990 drive-away with two battery variants.
- Unlike the rear-wheel drive MG4 hatchback, the Urban switches to front-wheel drive on a new platform, measuring 4395mm long with simpler torsion-beam rear suspension for cost savings.
- The Standard version features a Lithium-Ferro-Phosphate battery delivering 323km range, while the Long Range offers extended capacity; both support DC charging from 10 to 80 per cent in about 30 minutes.
- Pricing for the Urban undercuts the GWM Ora at $33,990 and the GAC Aion, while sitting below the regular MG4 at $37,990 before on-road costs for the entry-level Excite.
- While vehicles arrive next week, advanced battery technology remains unconfirmed for Australia; owners receive a conditional 10 year warranty if they service their vehicle with authorized dealers.
