Details
MG 4 (known in China as MG Mulan) is an all-electric compact hatchback that competes with Tesla Model Y, Volkswagen ID 3, and Kia Niro EV.
The electric vehicle (EV) has a single motor on the rear axle that sends up to 445 horsepower (hp) to the rear wheels, allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of around 4 seconds. MG is also proud of the EV’s nearly 50:50 weight distribution that allows for excellent stability on twisty roads.
The EV has two battery options — 51 kWh and 64 kWh — however, the Modular Scalable Platform (MSP) that underpins MG 4, can support a 150 kWh battery pack as well.
MG 4 offers up to 450 kilometers of range on a single charge. It has MG’s modern driver-assist features as well as the latest tech in safety and convenience.
Recently, Javed Afridi posted photos of the EV on his Twitter, which received a mixed reception from the readers. While some liked what they saw, most of the users ridiculed Afridi’s tweet as it is unlikely to lead to any tangible outcome.
Is MG following Sazgar’s “rickshaw-to-HEV replacement program” model? Or the Japanese old vehicles’ replacement model that had been recently presented online? MG didn’t always have a market share. It’s a new entrant in our market. It needs to seek avenues to grow and follow those existing models. Or create a new one. With a reduction in subsidies and even the slightest of increases in petroleum prices, we could offer them billions to grow their business. They just need to find the right niche and preferably replace existing vehicles with HEVs. If they find success, they can move their manufacturing of certain models to Pakistan. The only issue we’re facing in our inland trade is a lack of river ports and container ships travelling through the Indus. Why has the government been indifferent about this and why haven’t they made it their one and only agenda?
when you see Toyota yaris cross mini SUV…than you found MG 4 a copycat….
But Toyota yaris cross is better than any EV because, no range anxiety on long route and road we have in Pakistan as dust is our major problem for EV batteries cooling system.
