What happens when four EV newbies meet the new MG4 EV Urban? In this video, we hand the keys of the MG4 EV Urban to four drivers who’ve never experienced an electric car before: no preconceptions, no jargon, just honest first impressions.
With Nicola as their guide, they get behind the wheel, test out the tech, and discover what it’s really like to live with an EV for the very first time. From silent driving to regenerative braking, charging questions to cabin tech, nothing is off limits. So… will they be converted to electric? Or will old habits (and petrol loyalties) die hard?
The MG4 Urban is a cost-effective electric hatchback that rivals the BYD Dolphin Surf and Citroen e-C3 on price, while offering more space. It’s a solid family workhorse and represents excellent value for money.

So, the natural thought for many buyers is to look for a car with the biggest possible battery. However, with big batteries come big price tags. Although the cost ... DISCOVER MORE »
If you’re making the move from a petrol or diesel car to an EV, the biggest change you’ll notice is how you “fill up”. For some drivers, that’s also where the concerns start. After years of using petrol stations, the idea of charging an electric car can seem unfamiliar and even a little intimidating. The good news is that it’s much simpler than many people expect.Yes, there’s some new terminology to get your head around and a few new skills to master, but in practice it’s no more hassle than plu...

The MG4 EV has been around for a while, but a 2026 update has seen the price drop and the infotainment improve, so the MG remains a seriously good family EV

"The MG4 looks great, and is even better in the metal. It's also efficient, has a useable driving range (particularly the MG4 Extended Range) and I like the fact you get physical buttons along with the touchscreen infotainment system."
