MG4 Urban – Is This the Best Value Electric Car in the UK?
In this House of Cars review, I’m taking a proper look at one of the most important electric cars on sale right now — the MG4 Urban. This isn’t about big power or luxury gimmicks. This is about value for money, real-world usability and whether you actually need to spend a fortune to go electric.
Because here’s the thing… the MG4 Urban might sit at the affordable end of the EV market, but in terms of space, practicality and everyday usability, it feels like a much bigger and more expensive car. If you’re considering your first electric car, downsizing from a petrol hatchback, or simply trying to find the best budget EV in the UK, this is one you need to see.
I go through the exterior design, boot space, rear seat room, and the overall practicality that makes this more than just a cheap city runabout. The MG4’s dedicated electric platform means you get a flat floor, good legroom and a surprisingly usable boot, making it a genuinely sensible choice for small families, commuters and anyone moving into the EV world.
Inside, I look at the interior quality, infotainment system, digital displays, equipment levels and tech, showing you exactly what you get in the Urban trim. MG has focused on giving buyers the essentials — touchscreen infotainment, driver display, safety tech and everyday comfort — without pushing the price into unrealistic territory.
Of course, we also talk about the battery, electric motor setup, charging capability and real-world ownership appeal. The MG4 is designed to make switching to electric simple and affordable, with usable range, low running costs and the kind of practicality that makes it work as your main car, not just a second vehicle.

If you’re cross-shopping cars like the Nissan Leaf, Vauxhall Corsa Electric, Peugeot e-208, Renault Megane E-Tech or even looking at used EV alternatives, the MG4 Urban deserves to be on your shortlist. It proves you don’t need huge performance or a premium badge to get a genuinely good electric car.
