    MG 4 EV: exterior, interior and features

    Dimensionally, the MG4 is about the same size as the ZS EV SUV, which is already on sale here. In overseas markets, it takes on cars like the Volkswagen ID.3. The MG4 is an attractive-looking hatchback with some crossover-inspired design cues. It features crisp lines, sheer surfaces and certain details that seem inspired by the Cyberster roadster concept.

    While the exterior is sharply styled, the interior is rather minimalistic. The dash features clean, horizontal lines, with the highlight being two floating screens for the infotainment and instrument cluster. An interesting feature here includes the centre console that sticks out with a rotary dial and wireless charging pad. In terms of features, the MG4 comes with a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats and ADAS.
