MG Motor UK has revealed the pricing and spec of its new MG4 EV Extended Range model. What can you expect from the Extended Range model? Well, just that, as the EV can now deliver up to 323 miles of range on a single charge.

Available from £36,495 – the same price as the hot hatch version - the Extended Range is equipped with a new 77 kWh battery compared to the previous 51 and 64kWh options. Allowing the drivers to recharge from 10-80% in just under 40 minutes, the new model becomes the first MG car capable of over 300 miles of range on a single charge.

As well as more range, it comes with more power too thanks to its rear-mounted motor that’s been refined to deliver 241bhp and a 0-62mph time of 6.5 seconds.

The Extended Range is available in the Trophy spec as standard, giving extra space as well as generous levels of infotainment and driver assistance technology with its 360-degree camera. A black two-tone roof, tinted windows and larger 18” alloy wheels further differentiate the new model from its previous iterations.

“The Extended Range is the fifth model in the award winning MG4 EV model family,” says Guy Pigounakis MG’s Commercial Director who adds “and we believe drivers have real breadth of choice with our electric hatchbacks which now include the very capable SE cars all the way through to the XPOWER, the most powerful production MG ever built.”

It is an interesting time for MG and it is certainly providing a range of options for those still looking to join the EV world, with five MG4 models on offer, including the recent announcement of the MG4 XPOWER. as well as the recently revealed . However, in terms of power, we await the release of the MG Cyberster to see whether Mr Pigounakis’ quote still holds up as fact.
