MG Motor announced that a new Extended Range version of its MG4 EV model is now available. As the name suggests, it's the edition with the longest range among the four available. The WLTP rating is 520 km thanks to the upgraded 77kWh battery pack. The currently existing configurations, Standard Range and Long Range, offer 351 km and 435 km, respectively.
The Extended Range is only available on
the top trim (Trophy or Luxury, depending on the market), which means you will
be getting the black roof, tinted windows, heated leather seats and 360-degree
camera, among other coo tidbits. Given a sufficiently fast charger the 77 kWh
battery can go from 10 to 80% in 39 minutes, which isn't too shabby.
The extra range also comes with extra power.
The rear-mounted motor gets you 238 hp and 0--100 km/h acceleration of 6.5
seconds - a second faster than the Long Range model. As far as pricing goes,
the Trophy Extended Range is asking € 41,986, matching the XPower AWD
configuration that outputs 423 hp, but comes with the smaller 64kWh battery
pack.
