Previewed last month, the MG4 has now been officially launched in Malaysia, marking the formal arrival of new principal SAIC Motor Malaysia. The new electric hatchback has its sights set on dominating the lower end of the EV market, and to do that it will have to beat the BYD Dolphin at its own game.
It’s certainly poised to do that, at least where price is concerned. The range starts at RM104,629 for the base Standard model, rising up to RM129,629 for the Lux and RM149,629 for the Lux Extended with the larger battery. Unique to the MG4 is a high-performance XPower variant that tops out at RM159,629.
All prices are on-the-road without insurance and include an impressive seven-year/150,000 km warranty and an eight-year/180,000 km battery warranty. You’ll also get a one-for-one battery swap if the battery’s health drops below 70% during the warranty period.
