MG Motor to introduce MG 4 Urban soon

MG MOTOR Australia is set to launch its most affordable MG 4 yet when the ‘Urban’ line-up arrives in local showrooms next month.

While pricing is still unconfirmed, the all-new MG 4 Urban is expected to retail from less than $30,000 with both 43kWh standard range and 54kWh extended range battery options to be available.

Both battery packs are understood to utilise lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry.

Following its European launch earlier this year, MG Motor says the MG 4 Urban will combine a practical cabin with expectedly high levels of safety and technology, providing flexible electric mobility designed for the metropolitan commute.

Given its expected price tag, the MG 4 Urban will likely compete against rivals that include the BYD Dolphin (from $29,990), BYD Atto 2 (from $31,990), GWM Ora (from $35,990), Hyundai Inster (from $35,990), and others.

Full specifications are still under wraps, however GoAuto understands the 4400mm long MG 4 Urban will utilise cell-to-body construction resulting in a kerb mass of 1460kg in 43kWh format and 1520kg when specified with the larger 54kWh battery pack.

The vehicle offers a choice of 110kW or 118kW front-mounted traction motors – both with 250Nm of torque – likely offered alongside the smaller and larger capacity batteries respectively, and between 323km and 415km (WLTP) of driving range, depending on configuration.

A 0-100km/h time of around 9.6 seconds is expected.

GoAuto understands the MG 4 Urban will be sold alongside the existing rear-wheel drive MG 4 which has been one of the Chinese importers most successful electric models locally, with more than 13,000 units sold since its launch here in 2023.

The cabin of the MG 4 Urban is slated to host features that include a 360-degree camera system, one-pedal driving mode, a 7.0-inch digital instrument panel, 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, climate control, and both top-tether and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.

Cargo space ranges from 577- to 1364 litres (depending on seating configuration).

The MG 4 Urban is backed by a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating (based on 2025 test results) and, locally, MG Motor’s 10-year new vehicle warranty when serviced through the MG network.

“Designed for how Australians live today, the MG 4 Urban has room for four adults, gear, with rapid DC charging capability from 10-80 per cent in around 30 minutes, helping drivers stay on the move,” said MG Motor Australia marketing director Dimitri Andreatidis.

“Whether you’re a driver seeking an accessible EV to suit their lifestyle, or wanting to reduce their environmental footprint, the MG 4 Urban delivers the right combination of space, technology, and efficiency.”
