MG Motor Australia has revealed the official pricing and specification of its new high-performance all wheel drive electric hatchback, confirming the new MG4 EV XPOWER will be its most powerful production car yet with "register your interest' going live this October.
Priced at just $59,990 (AUD) plus on-road costs*, the new range-topping MG4 XPOWER firmly underlines the company's Take Charge philosophy, as an EV performance car delivering Aussie drivers breathtaking power and dynamics at an extremely competitive price.
The new XPOWER model features a highly anticipated dual motor powertrain delivering 320kw of power and up to 600Nm of torque, firmly positioning the latest MG4 model alongside the most potent high-performance cars on the market.
Capable of 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds, the XPOWER's electrifying performance is complemented with a series of understated exterior design revisions, with the new model expected to fly under the radar in comparison to the usual high-powered hatchback offerings.
The subtle exterior design and specification enhancements include orange "XPOWER' brake calipers, a two-tone black roof, new 18'' alloy wheels and polished trim accents, alongside an exclusive new Hunter Green colour option. MG Motor Australia and New Zealand CEO Peter Ciao said EVs don't necessarily have to be boring, and the new MG4 XPower is proof that performance can be affordable.
"The MG4 XPOWER has supercar performance packed with features including launch control and a track mode inspired lap timer showing that a compact EV can be affordable, practical and spirited to drive."
"We expect it will appeal to customers looking for a true performance car with plenty of technology and space to match. The MG4 XPOWER EV also retains the generous safety equipment levels, as well as practical hatchback features, of the award-winning MG4 range."
The MG4 XPOWER is available to register your interest from this week and promises to be one of the most exciting new electric cars of 2023, marking a new milestone in MG Australia's highly anticipated return to the performance car market.
The most powerful MG to arrive in Australia.
Underpinned by the MG4's Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), the XPOWER is equipped with an all-new dual motor configuration that delivers up to 320kW of peak performance to all four wheels, via front (150kW) and rear (170kW) electric motors.
As well as offering supercar rivalling performance in a straight line, the enhanced features include new technological upgrades to effectively distribute power and maximise driver engagement while cornering.
An all-new Dynamic Cornering Control System will be available for the first time on an MG, featuring a locking electronic differential and Intelligent Motor Control to allow torque vectoring between all four wheels, generating maximum traction and outstanding composure in a wide range of driving conditions.
A comprehensive series of suspension upgrades have been completed, featuring recalibrated spring and damper tuning, stiffer anti-roll bars and sharper steering. Overall suspension stiffness has been increased by up to 25%, meaning the MG4 XPOWER will build upon the acclaimed handling characteristics of the current MG4 models.
The 64kWh battery is also capable of recharging at up to 140kW, meaning a charge time of only 26 minutes from 10% - 80% using a 150kW DC rapid charger. The MG4 XPOWER EV is expected to bring zero-emissions performance motoring within reach for far more Australian customers, representing an affordable, credible alternative to conventional petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles.
Increased stopping power reduces the MG4 XPOWER's 100-0km/h stopping distance to just 33.9metres, generated via uprated, ventilated 345mm discs on all four corners, with new premium Bridgestone Turanza tyres offering excellent levels of grip without compromising rolling efficiency.
Underlining the new model's performance credentials, a new launch control feature allows drivers to experience XPOWER in its ultimate form by sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
