The striking new MG4 EV is helping the Chinese-owned brand garner a new audience and a new image
, we took the opportunity to summarise the convoluted history of this once mighty British sports car brand. In short, MG was founded in 1930, before eventually being messily processed through the British Leyland mill and ending up as a badge attached to lacklustre 1980s-era ‘performance’ cars.
But as we pointed out before, China was ahead of the game when it came to electrification, and a badge like MG’s was deemed a perfect fit for a new generation of modestly sized but well-equipped EVs. The company’s range is electrifying fast, beginning with the MG ZS and followed up by the MG5 SW, still one of the only electric estate cars you can buy.This, however, is the MG4. Designed in SAIC Motor Technical Centre in London, it is a game-changer for the brand, and perhaps for EVs in general.
