The autonomy of the cheapest MG4 Electric
As it is a battery electric car, the propulsion system is the focus of attention. Does the cheapest MG4 Electric have good performance? In the bowels of the access version of the MG compact is a 51 kWh battery
(gross capacity) whose main objective is none other than to feed a single engine of 125 kW (170 hp) and 250 Nm of maximum torque.
The engine is installed on the rear axle, so we are dealing with a propulsion vehicle. Thanks to this motorization, the MG4 Electric is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 160 km/h. The autonomy stands at 350 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle.
It is equipped with an on-board charger whose maximum power is 6.6 kW. Using a 117 kW DC charging point it is possible to complete the battery charging process from 10 to 80% in just 40 minutes.
