The MG4 EV performed well in the European market, with the largest sales volume in its class, and its price-performance ratio was obvious. As a No. 1 best-selling product in the UK and European markets1 pure electric small steel cannon, MG4 EV sports handling performance obviously has two brushes. This is because users in the European market have very high requirements for the sporty handling of their vehicles.
In order to achieve excellent sporty handling, the MG4 EV has a number of technical advantages. In addition to torsional stiffness of up to 31,568 Nm deg and an ultra-low centroid height of 490mm due to the LBS lying cell, the model is also equipped with an industry-leading high-performance hairpin motor. This motor has the industry's first 8-layer flat wire winding, and the maximum efficiency of the whole machine reaches 966%, far exceeding the industry average of 92%. In addition, the motor is small in size and light in weight, and the volumetric power density and gravimetric power density are leading the industry. With the combined effect of these technical advantages, the MG4 EV rear-wheel drive motor version can provide a peak power of 125kW and a peak torque of 250Nm. The Xpower version provides a maximum power of 300kW, a peak torque of 600Nm, and an acceleration of 0-100kWh in just 38 seconds, comparable to the power performance of a supercar.
The MG4 EV chassis structure features MacPherson independent suspension at the front and five-link independent suspension at the rear, combined with a 50:50 axle-to-load ratio, to show excellent sporty genes. Driving the MG4 EV not only allows you to experience rapid, violent acceleration, but also clear chassis support and precise pointing when cornering. The suspension responds quickly when cornering continuously, and the braking system controls thermal decay to ensure braking effect. It is worth noting that the rear-wheel drive single-motor version and the dual-motor four-wheel drive version have different power layouts, resulting in differences in driving styles. The rear-wheel drive version focuses more on driving pleasure, while the four-wheel drive version pursues faster and more stable speed performance, which can show excellent performance at full speed.
Overall, as a pure electric small steel cannon in the new era, the MG4 EV not only inherits the traditional excellent sports control genes of the small steel cannon, but also shows the power performance comparable to that of a supercar, and performs all-round. Compared with the small steel cannon of the gasoline car era, the MG4 EV has an advantage. For the best of a compact hatchback, you get a great ride, which is a great value. This also explains the popularity of the MG4 EV in the European and Chinese markets.
