If you try and open the door, the warning sound will go off to advise you not to do so. So the proposition for all new mg4 ev is say yes to electric and say no to compromise. We will position mg4 ev using the following four pillars: space tech, attainability and drive. So with space with that modular scalable platform, theres genuinely room for five, with great room in the boots and loads of storage space. In terms of tech, we have those two interior screens connectivity through ismart and those plethora of safety features with mg pilot. So what we mean by attainability is fantastic warranty, great levels of standard equipment, amazing monthly payments. You truly get more with an mg4 and finally drive. Electric cars are great fun to drive and mg4 is no exception.

We have that 50 50 weight distribution using the modular scalable platform. We have that seamless, electric torque and we have those two battery capacity options, standard and long range. Now, as you would expect from mg, we like to keep things really simple and really easy. An mg4 ev is no exception. We have two trim levels, se and trophy, and we have two battery sizes. Standard range and long range lets have a look at sc. The standard range battery is 51 kilowatt hours, 125 kilowatts of power 0 to 62 in 7.7 seconds, and it can achieve a range of 218 miles now, as you would expect from an mg it comes comprehensively equipped, so we have 17 inch alloy wheels. We have also air conditioning and we have apple carplay and android, auto just as some highlights of the standard equipment, but there are also features that you wouldnt expect from a car at this price, for example, vehicle to load technology now vehicle to load technology allows you To power an external device using the high voltage battery in the car and thats standard on both se and trophy variants. Now we know that range remains one of the main reasons why people arent adopting electric cars as quickly as we might want them to so were going to offer the long range battery in the se variant, and this will go 281 miles on the combined wltp cycle And just for an extra two thousand five hundred pounds and sitting proudly at the top of the range of all new mg4 ev is the trophy model, comes with the long range battery and can charge up to eighty percent in as little as 35 minutes visually youll Notice, a number of differences from the se from the front lights to the two tone: roof the twin rear arrow and the rear cross, hatch lighting design coming with a great level of equipment.

We add navigation, wireless charging, 360 camera and a leather interior. So a little bit earlier, we talked about attainability and one of the factors of attainability is affordability or monthly payments. Now we have achieved class leading residual values with mg4 ev, and these will lead to monthly payments, far more affordable than any of the class competitors. So, as you can imagine, were really excited about the launch of all new mg4 ev.
