Watch out, Hyundai Ioniq, Ora Good Cat and Volkswagen ID.3! 2023 MG4 electric hatchback coming soon as larger, zero-emissions alternative to popular MG3

The MG4 is MG’s all-new zero-emissions small hatchback.

MG has officially confirmed its next all-electric model, the all-new MG4 small hatchback.

That’s right; the popular MG3 light hatchback is getting a big brother, one which has the Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq, Ora Good Cat, Cupra Born and Volkswagen ID.3 firmly in its sights.

In a tweet overnight, MG UK revealed the MG4 will make its debut in the fourth quarter of this year with zero-emissions power.

That said, the Chinese brand has already confirmed the MG4 measures 4300mm in length and was “developed with the UK consumer in mind”.

However, expect the MG4 to be sold across Europe and also in native China. Australia is a strong possibility, too, as local brand representatives have expressed interest for such a model in the past.




Either way, a teaser video of the MG4 has already been released, showing its aerodynamic alloy wheels, sculpted side doors, panoramic sunroof and bridge-like tail-light signature.

But if you’re really wondering what the MG4’s exterior will look like in all its glory, wonder no more, as leaked patent images were published by Car News China earlier this week. Needless to say, it gives MG more of an edge.

It’s worth noting MG UK hasn’t actually confirmed the MG4 moniker for the next-generation EV, but the website link in its tweet goes to a URL that references it as such. Stay tuned.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
