MG4 EV named UK Car of the Year 2023

The MG4 EV hatchback has been crowned UK Car of the Year 2023, pipping the Dacia Jogger and Toyota GR86 to the prestigious title.

Competitively priced from just £26,995, it’s available with two battery sizes and range is up to 281 miles.

Presenting the trophy, John Challen, director of the UK Car of the Year Awards, said: “The MG4 proves that electric cars can be affordable, practical and appeal to all areas of the automotive market.

“Fully charged, it offers more than enough miles for most journeys, while the design and driving dynamics tick two other important boxes for consumers. A deserved winner for the electric future.”

The distinctive, game-changing MG4 has been widely praised. We reviewed it recently and our verdict was highly positive.

We concluded: “Affordable, distinctive, well equipped and practical, the MG4 delivers the kind of driving dynamics that’s streets ahead of many EVs twice the price. Add MG’s generous seven-year warranty, and it it’s a no-brainer if you’re ready to switch to 100% electric motoring.”
