2026 MG 4 EV Urban: Long Range Priced From $34,990 Drive-Away
MG Australia will keep the rear-wheel-drive MG 4 Electric and add a facelift with a revised interior and reworked lineup.
- Meng Chen, head of product for MG Motor Australia, confirmed a 'dual car strategy' for the MG 4, launching the 2026 MG 4 EV Urban alongside an updated version of the existing MG 4 Electric.
- Positioned as the new price leader, the 2026 MG 4 EV Urban tops out at $34,990 drive-away for the 'Essence 54' long-range model, creating clearance for the updated lineup expected in Australia later this year.
- British models of the facelifted MG 4 EV feature a revised interior with more physical controls and include variants with larger batteries starting $5,700 higher than the Urban.
- Details for the updated model are expected at the Melbourne motor show this Friday, 10 April, with brand officials confirming information will arrive 'very soon.'
- Varied performance ranging from the efficient Urban to the 180kW/350Nm e-motor found in higher-spec variants allows the brand to maintain a broad market presence in Australia through this dual strategy.
