MG4 Urban review: a small price and big space just isn’t enough these days

For a car named Urban, the MG4 Urban rides too firmly around the UK's broken urban streets - (MG)

MG has built its success in the UK on offering Chinese-made cars wearing a famous British badge, with some of the design and engineering work often taking place here in the UK, too. It has been delivering cars (especially electric models) at prices that would have seemed unrealistic just a few years ago. The award-winning MG4 EV has been central to that success, with nearly 50,000 sold in the UK since 2022 – accounting for roughly half of MG’s 100,000 British EV sales.

For 2026, MG is expanding the MG4 nameplate with revisions (and lower prices) for the MG4 plus this all-new MG4 Urban, aimed squarely at buyers who want maximum space and equipment for minimal outlay.
