Refreshed MG4 spotted, but you might struggle to tell the difference
MG has also replaced the current car’s seven-inch driver’s display and 10.25-inch central touchscreen with a 10.25-inch driver’s screen and a 12.8-inch touchscreen – the same as in the MGS5 EV. This means the 2026 MG4 will get the company’s latest infotainment system, which we found to be a vast improvement over previous set-ups in the MGS5 EV.
We don’t expect too much change to the MG4’s technical underpinnings, with it sitting on MG’s MSP (Modular Scalable Platform). Unlike most of its rivals, the MG4 comes with the unusual choice of three different sizes of batteries (49kWh, 64kWh and 77kWh) with up to 329 miles of range in Extended Range guise.
We could see the smallest and cheapest option in the line-up removed, however, to make way for the upcoming MG4 Urban. The current MG4 starts from just over £27,000, while the new MG4 Urban (which is already on sale in China and front-wheel drive, in contrast to the current MG4’s rear-wheel-drive layout) is expected to be cheaper too at under £25,000. Auto Express will get its first taste of the new 2026 MG4 when we drive it in a few weeks time.
