Keen handling, a decent range, attractive styling and promising straight-line pace... all for just £350 per month? It's the new MGmotor 4 - and we've just driven it on UK roads
The dashboard is more striking too, its strong horizontality broken by the twin floating screens and a steering wheel rim flat at both top and bottom. If the cabin is a little gloomy, seats, carpets, door cards and headlining all dark as night, it’s nevertheless pretty spacious, especially against the electric superminis that the MG 4 competes with on price. Bootspace is less clever, but the false floor allows tidy stowage of the charge cable, and the folding rear seats are split.
Such practicalities are soon forgotten when it comes to the driving. Merely getting in ignites the twin screens, drive-away readiness is achieved by pressing the brake. Swivelling an almost comically large rotary knob resembling a high-end 1970s amplifier volume control selects drive, and you’re off, in silence and enjoying a ride that rounds off sharp bumps to comfortingly good effect.
Demandingly lumpy B-roads are met with excellent body control, little bump-thump and good stability, and if there’s strong side-to-side rocking over sudden camber changes, the MG 4 is undoubtedly its maker’s most-entertaining five-door yet. To that end you can alter brake pedal effort, steering weight , throttle response and regenerative braking intensity via the infotainment screen and the ‘custom’ selection of five driving modes if chosen via the one of the steering wheel’s shortcut buttons.
Despite these issues the MG 4 offers a great deal, especially for the price. It’s more agreeably engaging than the ID 3, more sporting, better to sit in, better to look at and substantially more affordable. It’s much roomier than its supermini rivals, too. The finish is pretty good for the price, even if subtle cost savings such as the lack of grab handles, a rear seat armrest and sill tread plates contrast with the soft-feel upper facia, leather-edged steering wheel and those floating screens.
MG Motor MGs are already a common sight on our roads, and this keenly priced, stylish, roomy, swift and very capable hatch guarantees that they will become more plentiful still. If you’re still doubtful, consider that this long-range 281-mile SE costs £350 a month, a 260-mile Volkswagen ID 3 £564 and the much smaller, 222-mile
