Looks like MG has quietly put together one of the best value EV deals in Australia at the moment. Test drove one myself and ended up ordering the 54kWh option. 6 week wait for stock. Went with MG cause it has a large dealer network in WA and its a brand that has been here for a while rather then pop up in the last 2 or so years

The new MG4 Urban is now one of Australia’s cheapest new electric car, starting from $31,990 drive away, and both Urban variants currently come with a $500 accessories bonus. Duplicate offer removed from titie — Mod.

Pricing

• MG4 Urban 43kWh – from $31,990 drive away
• MG4 Urban 54kWh – from $34,990 drive away

Current Offer

• $500 accessories bonus on eligible vehicles sold and delivered by 30 June 2026.
• The bonus can be used on genuine MG accessories ordered with the vehicle, or taken as a $500 reduction off the purchase price.

Urban 43 Highlights

• 43kWh LFP battery
• Around 350km WLTP range
• Vehicle to Load (V2L) capability
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• 17” alloy wheels

Urban 54 Highlights

• Larger 54kWh LFP battery
• Around 435km WLTP range
• Same Urban styling and equipment, with the extra range for road trips or less frequent charging.

Why It’s Worth a Look

• Currently the cheapest new EV on the Australian market.
• Uses LFP batteries, which are generally regarded as durable and can comfortably be charged to 100% regularly.
• 10 Year / 250,000km warranty.
• Practical hatchback with decent boot space.

At this price point, it’s getting hard to find anything that offers this combination of range, warranty and equipment. Even many comparable petrol hatchbacks are now in the same price bracket.

    Test drove this last month. Very unpretentious. Feels like driving an EV version of Mazda 3 or i30. Has sensible knobs for common stuff, MG IQ is good to turn off nanny stuff at each start, feels like a very normal car.

        I'm with mrvaluepack on this one. Actually had one on order but cancelled because of all the problems owners were flagging on the GAC facebook groups. Bings and bongs all the time from the ADAS system is a pain, but the reported problems with more important safety features autonomous emergency braking triggering without reason was my real concern. Lots of owners report turning everything they can off every time they hop in the car - that must have implications for safety. I should add that GAC clearly not alone in this, and many of the owners are delighted with their cars. But not for me.

            @mrvaluepack: Still trying to get my deposit back from GAC who are not cooperating. Next step is NSW Fair Trading and failing that, the Tribunal.

            For others considering ordering from GAC, note that although there might be an 'indicative' delivery date in the contract it apparently doesn't hold them to any delivery timeline at all, your deposit is theirs to keep, and it's buyer beware on these safety issues. Very frustrating because the car looks to be a mostly well executed city car with good range and great interior space via its dedicated EV platform. Love that GAC is providing options here other than SUVs, and more competition is welcome. Unfortunately it's ADAS issues were a deal killer for me. I'm surprised that DITRDCA and ANCAP don't seem to be paying more attention to these issues (not just with GAC of course) and plan on writing to them.

            One additional possible concern - GAC apparently made a major loss in 2025 globally, although 2026 seems to be going better. Always a chance that they won't survive here in Oz. I guess they are not the only car manufacturer, chinese or otherwise, who might go bust in these crazy market times. Still, reckon MG looks more established and likely to continue on here in Australia. Particularly if GAC can't get its act together and treat its customers better. A low upfront price is only part of the value equation. Safety and customer service is also key.

          I’ve been following this closely because my Enzoom is faultless when it comes to the nanny systems - it’s probably better than my previous vehicle (MY25 Tucson). It defies logic to me that they’ve managed to get it so wrong with the UT!

          Customer service has been pretty darn good as well, although I do think with these Chinese manufacturers it depends a lot on the dealer. I had an appalling experience at Motorama MG, for example, when purchasing my now long-gone MG4 years ago.

            • jackary on 18/06/2026 - 09:27

              @mrvaluepack: How funny, I spelt the name of my own car wrong. Eek.

              I honestly couldn't tell you - I do know it says something about adigo on the home screen though. I've never really had much of a need to dig too far into the OS.

              It just feels so well calibrated - the AEB has never, and I repeat never scared me by deciding to slam on the brakes out of nowhere. The lane centering can be adjusted to just a chime rather than a tug of the steering wheel, AND the car remembers this setting. No auto stop start. No traffic sign recognition. No driver attention monitoring. While I'm generally not a fan of autonomous driving (I find using my own feet gives better fuel economy and I'm a cheap arse), it has worked very well in the situations I have used it (eg peak hour traffic on the M1) - I've tried the self parking a few times and other than it making all sorts of odd clunks and screeches (GAC H/O tell me it's something to do with the use of ABS during autonomous parking), it actually executes the park perfectly. As is the case with pretty much any Chinese vehicle, the camera setup is superb - crystal clear. A feature I got used to on my old MG ZS which is highly underrated (and not a common feature), is that the sensors actually tell you the DISTANCE you are from something. I have a small apartment carpark and the space next to me is occupied with one of those small penis trucks, and I can confidently reverse into my carspace knowing EXACTLY how far (in centimetres) I am from every sensor in the car.

              It really pains me how much I love my Emzoom, because I was expecting MG ZS levels of fit and finish, and I've just been constantly proved wrong. It's a beautiful place to sit. I'm 36,000km in (yes, seriously, 36,000km in 7 months) and there is not a squeak or rattle. It has been faultless, can take 91, and returns 5.6-5.8L/100km to boot. I don't know why anyone would buy a Tiggo 4, even the hybrid - by all anecdotal accounts I've read online, even the hybrid is less efficient than my GAC. Dealer experience has also been a cut above what I've previously come to expect from the Chinese marques. A few of the GAC higher-up's are even participants in the Facebook owners groups. Not sure you'd get that with Toyota.

              At the time I bought, I was convinced I'd be buying a Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo - love that flat red colour. But having driven both back to back, I can understand why the EU is shaking in their boots about allowing Chinese vehicles into their market - they aren't even running in the same race at this point.

              It's all about getting over that initial hurdle of "fear" with the consumer taking a punt on a completely new brand. Now a large segment of people are locked out of the housing market, their car may be the most expensive thing they buy, so I can understand the hesitance. But for those up for the gamble, you can get a lot of car for not a lot of money. For 27k I was happy to risk it. While I find the styling a bit naff personally, that Jaecoo J5 thing is a bloody lot of car for the money.

                @jackary: The Emzoom is an incredibly good looking car. What are your thoughts on the transmission? I note that a couple of reviewers have made some negative comments.

                • 0
                • jackary on 18/06/2026 - 19:58

                  @Primus Pilus: Yep, that’s what sold me! Something about it that really appealed - also somewhat confidence inspiring their extensive relationship with Toyota in China. Life’s short, why not buy something a bit weird and obscure. It warms my heart to see so many “interesting” (subjective) cars entering our market. Whether they’ll all still be here in 5 years, who knows!

                  I think the reviews are somewhat unfairly negative… if you have driven a Volkswagen DSG, Ford Powershift, Kia/Hyundai dual clutch, you’ll be right at home - they all have the same foibles, most notably low speed jerkiness (particularly from a stop). From about 20km/h onwards, it’s excellent - quick shifts, doesn’t hunt for gears, you really couldn’t fault it for anything else.

                  If you know how to drive manual, it’s even easier - as you can somewhat “feel” what the clutch is doing and you learn to drive it accordingly - if that makes sense. You 100% get used to it. Not sure why the Chinese manufacturers insist on these bizarre transmissions (I presume the plight for efficiency - ironic considering the Emzoom would not be allowed to be introduced into Australia today due to it not meeting emissions standards), but in this price bracket the competition is a 4 speed auto (MG ZS) or a CVT (Tiggo 4). In that context I’m very glad with my choice! It’s also a wet clutch, so anecdotally should be more durable than double clutch transmissions gone by.

                  I certainly don’t regret my choice and would take an average 7 speed double clutch over an average 6/7 torque converter. It’s a more engaging drive (in my opinion).

                  The most negative thing IMO about the Emzoom is the tyres. I knew they were pretty ordinary (even when new - especially in the wet), but a change to a set of decent branded rubber has almost transformed the car.

        To be fair, our 2023 BYD atto3 was exactly the same, and OTA firmware updates have fixed most the issues, like excess8veky frequent and loud nagging & settings resetting themselves on every drive.

        The ADAS is still a bit garbage, with the lane-keep-assist turning itself off, if it doesn't recognise clear lines. Apparently gutters and continuous metal barriers are not enough line-like to be recognised as lines.

        However, that's not the issue.

        The issue is that there is zero warning that it's stopped steering/lane-keeping, and you find that the road has curved gently away, and your car is heading towards the trees or barrier.

      I've heard this car has really annoying faults with malfunctioning warning systems that you have to turn off every time you drive, or other warnings like setting off alarms that sound outside the car loudly because it thinks you've left a 'living object' inside the car.

      Yes, that was the best value EV deal ever in Australia. After WA subsidy it cost us a mere $27.5k.

      My partner is very happy. Solid car, easily reaches the rated range for her driving (suburban with occasional freeway).

      Not sure what makes this deal a deal. Isn't it just the RRP for the new model? Reduced specs, FWD. There's a reason they still sell the "old" MG4 with RWD.

      Actually I got that deal, and honestly this deal is close. The deal you quoted was the EXCITE base, this is the ESSENSE. So even despite being a newer car, the ESSENSE spec (now base trim) has a ton more features and comfort.

        MG cite the MG4 URBAN as a hatchback, but frankly it's not. The MG4 is, the MG4 Urban is a mini SUV regardless of what they call it. Far closer to say a CX5 than a hatch.

        • 2
        • tp0 on 18/06/2026 - 10:26

          The CX-5 is 15cm taller and a regular petrol hatchback is about 10cm shorter.

          At 1549mm tall the MG4 urban is definitely in "crossover" territory however since it doesn't have silly black cladding or a massive gap between the wheel and the wheelarch I'm willing to call it a hatchback.

            @tp0: Fair point, drivers seating position in the urban is certainly higher compared to the MG4. MG4 drives and rides like a hatchback. Urban being less powerful and front wheel drive has an suv feel.

    Just my 2 cents here cos 'EV bad' according to a lot of OZB here for some reason.

    114,000km into my MG4 (non-urban) for 29K from the deal above in 2024 (I drive a shieeet tonne)

    2 service so far, rock solid. $15,000+ up in fuel, car is 0-60km in 3.2s, 0-100km in 7s.

    Rear wheel drive is awesome, 350km range is bang on, charging at home is dirt cheap even without solar!

    114,000km in an equivelant corolla/Yaris which is priced similar would be 10-15 services with their crazy short intervals and half the warranty, let alone fuel, maintenance etc.

      Dayum. You've probably driven more in two years than I have in my life.

        Well yeah, its a cheapo car, so interior is average, the display can be laggy and i wish the boot was a tad bigger..

        but there's been not 1 fault with the car mechanically (if that's the right term) given there's very minimal moving parts vs Petrol/Diesel cars

      Good for you mate.

      I'm amazed Toyota drivers have become the snobbiest most elitist group I've ever seen online. If you told me that 10 years ago, I'd laugh at you.

      The funny thing is, anyone can get a Toyota, so I don't get where they feel superior in any way.

        Toyota has simply been a good benchmark for a well made car (dunno about all models, but my Camry has has been a very good experience)

        I think what they're saying is they want Camry reliability and it's too early to be sure on some of these EV brands. That's fair enough.

        If our consumer protection and politicians stepped up to the plate with some minimum standards it would be all good.

        As in, you're not welcome in our car market unless repairs bookings are within 2 weeks. Parts are guaranteed at fair price even if you edit the market. Put down a bond if required to ensure consumer protection.

        However, I expect slightly worse reliability given these EVs are cheaper. People do lose sight of that.

        "so I don't get where they feel superior in any way."

        You are referring to VAG buyers.

        Toyota drivers just want something that works - myself included. No need to feel overly good about the car. Arguably, Toyota dishes out some very well made and fun cars too.

          After getting a Passat, I wouldn't buy another VAG vehicle with a gun to my head.

          The DSG is dodgy (the rest of the world had recalls), the dealers are shite and dodgy, and the rear interior rattles more than a Brazilian Mardi gras (a common build issue).

          I'm joyed to hear that they've had to shut down factories globally, including in Germany due to Chinese domination of the EV market. Dieselgate anc their arrogance is nauseating.

            @Big L: so you're glad lots of people lost their jobs because a) some employees cheated the system and b) your car had issues

              @andresampras: Other people got jobs in place of those that lost theirs, so no issue there. It wasn't 'some employees', it was systemic at VAG.

              Also, the current CEO of VAG wound back their previous CEOs development of EVs and has pissed and moaned about government rebates and subsidies globally for EVs, the Chinese domination of the sector and any other excuse he can muster for poor decision making. It's hypocritical given the subsidies that car manufacturers in Germany receive.

        Prado starts at almost 100k and a decent 300 series is 150K. Anything else is for plebs.

      Insurance cost I have a different model EV but I’m finding that the comprehensive insurance is much higher than comparable ice car

        It's a common complaint, particularly for the lesser known Chinese EVs as their service and spares network isn't robust yet.

      How many km do you get out of your tyres and what replacement tyres do you run it on?

        i am due for the 3rd set soon I'd say mate.

        Running the same Continental 17" rims.

        changed first pair at 66,000ish, now I'm closing in after 115,000 on the 2nd pair.

        Don't get sucked into the 'EV heavy, tire wear' This car is about the same weight as a Camry

        It's more so the instant torque and thrashing it at low speeds that eat away that precious tread haha

        • team teri on 18/06/2026 - 20:51

          Thank you!

          Sounds like what I expect. I measured tread on my partner's MG4 and estimated she should get to over 60'km before we need replacing. Just one tyre rotation swapping back and front about halfway.

          If timing works out with their bi-annual specials we might give the 40%/50% off Pirelli tyres at MyCar a try.

      Wow, I've only done 20k, trips to Wollongong, Newcastle, blue mountains. Always charged at home.
      Doesn't reflect how much it is used though, it's the car of choice for my family of 4 drivers, so lots of small trips every day.

      Biggest surprise owning an EV is how Infrequently you need to charge the thing.

      No idea how I have not been fined, honestly drive it like a flog, it's seriously too much fun. Sure not MX5 sitting on the road, peering over the windscreen fun, but damn close.

      Petrol's have under sized engines, that's the biggest complaint, followed by reliability.

    It’s great for new buyers but for existing Chinese EV owners, the depreciation is a killer and needs to be factored into ownership costs
