MG Motor Australia has announced the arrival of the 2026 MG4 EV Urban in April. This is MG’s new electric model designed to make EV ownership more accessible for Australian drivers.
The compact electric hatchback focuses on affordability, practicality and urban-friendly performance, aimed primarily at city commuters and first-time EV buyers. The MG4 EV Urban is already on sale in the UK with the same battery capacities.
The MG4 EV Urban will be sold alongside the facelifted version of the sportier rear-wheel-drive (RWD) MG4 EV. The Urban EV is expected to compete with the BYD Dolphin.
Battery options and electric performance
| Specification | MG4 EV Urban |

Practical interior and exterior features
The 2026 MG4 EV Urban features compact exterior dimensions for easier city driving and parking, while maintaining a surprisingly spacious interior. Inside, the EV seats 4 adults and offers up to 1,300 litres of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
The layout aims to balance compact size with everyday usability, making it suitable for errands, commuting and active city lifestyles.
Safety and driver assistance
The MG4 EV Urban is engineered to achieve a 5-star safety rating, supported by a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that enhance safety and reduce driver fatigue during everyday commutes.
Warranty and ownership
All new MG vehicles sold in Australia are backed by the brand’s 10-year warranty, provided the vehicle is serviced within MG’s national dealer network of 100+ workshops.
