Popular electric hatch’s prices set to rise by up to $3000
MG will increase the national drive-away (DA) pricing of its popular MG4 electric hatchback from 1st July 2025.
Prices will increase between $1000 and $3000 depending on variant, with only the range-topping MG4 XPower remaining unchanged at $55,990.
The table below outlines the current and soon to be introduced pricing changes for the MG4, which will start at $37,990 drive away for the base model MG4 Excite 51.
| Variant | Drive-away price until June 30 2025 | Drive-away price from 1st July 2025 | Price increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excite 51 | $36,990 | $37,990 | $1000 |
| Excite 64 | $40,990 | $42,990 | $2000 |
| Essence 64 | $42,990 | $45,990 | $3000 |
| Essence 77 | $49,990 | $50,990 | $1000 |
| XPower | $55,990 | $55,990 | unchanged |
The MG4 measures 4287mm in length, 1836mm in width, 1504mm in height, and drives on a wheelbase of 2705mm.
Despite the scheduled price increase, the MG4 Excite 51 continues to be Australia’s third-most affordable EV, pipped only by its BYD Dolphin and GWM Ora rivals.
The Dolphin starts from $32,134 DA and the Ora kicks off from $33,990 DA.
Officially launching in Oz during August 2023, the MG4 has proved favourable with Aussies, particularly in the small-car under $40,000 segment. 2024 saw 6934 overall unit sales of the MG4 – more than double the 3134 figure produced in the final months of 2023.
With the exception of the Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) 51kWh battery found in the base model Excite, all models of MG4 feature some variant of Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery, detailed in the table below.
