2024 MG4 electric car review: Excite 51 | BYD Dolphin rival is Australia's cheapest new EV - almost

Who said the EV market wasn't heating up? Enter the 2024 MG4 small hatchback, which - for a few short days - was Australia's cheapest new electric car. That's right; with a starting price of $38,990 plus on-road costs, it held the title briefly until the BYD Dolphin moved in just $100 below.

Price wars aside, the MG4 might just be the model that takes EV adoption in Australia to the next level. But forgetting its sharp positioning for a second, is it actually any good?

In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton finds out, covering the new MG4's entry-level Excite 51 variant in detail, including its features, warranty, servicing, design, practicality and, of course, everything EV-related, driving range, battery size and charging times inclusive.
