The 64kWh battery is also capable of charging up to 135kW, meaning a charge time of only 60 minutes to 80% using a 50kW DC rapid charger.
The Essence model will also be equipped with MG Pilot system, with the inclusion of Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
Additionally, a two-tone roof, twin aero rear spoiler, 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging and iSmart connectivity compatible with the app are all standard in the Essence.
The MG4 (64kWh Essence) can be ordered through MG’s extensive national dealer network from Tuesday, 11th April.
Advantages of switching to an MG electric vehicle: Electric vehicles offer a high degree of economic and environmental efficiency. Like many countries around the world, Australia also currently offers state based incentives for electric vehicles. This year, purchase of an MG4 can be subsidised by state based incentives for private purchasers. There are also other monetary benefits for businesses: (fringe benefits tax), ownership costs for operation with electric vehicles and a reduced maintenance requirement.
