The MG4 electric hatchback has been named the UK Car of the Year.
With a range of 281 miles from the biggest battery option, combined with good value competitive pricing, the panel of 27 automotive journalists found the MG4 a compelling winner.
It headed off rivals from Dacia, Land Rover, Lotus, Kia and Toyota.
Guy Pigounakis, Commercial Director of MG Motor UK, was presented with the award at MG Piccadilly, the company’s flagship showroom in the heart of London.
“We couldn’t be prouder of what the MG4 has achieved in such a short time,” said Guy. “Winning UK Car of the Year demonstrates the immense capabilities of our new all-electric hatchback and there’s much more to come in 2023.”
UKCOTY head judge and founder John Challen said:
“The MG4 proves that electric cars can be affordable, practical and appeal to all areas of the automotive market. Fully charged, it offers more than enough miles for the vast majority of journeys, while the design and driving dynamics tick two other important boxes for consumers. A deserved winner for the electric future.”
One of the judges, praising the car said that the MG4 was fun to drive and affordable to buy or lease making it “a desirable way to travel. It’s simply a fantastic all-round family car.”
Another of the judges, writing in FleetandLeasing.com, added:
“One of the best battery electric cars available. Highly fleet-suitable for a wide range of users.”
The MG4 also won the Best Family Hatchback title in the awards.
