MG4 EV XPower in Malaysia

MG brand return to Malaysia last week, with three variants announced – the Standard (RM104k), Lux (RM129k) and the Lux Extended Range (RM149k); prices are estimated figures for now.

Announced with the previewed variants, but not physically present with the line-up at the time is the high-performance variant of the range, the MG4 XPower, and now we can bring a live image gallery.

With estimated pricing of RM159k, the MG4 XPower tops the range, priced RM10k above the Lux Extended Range variant, and the added outlay brings a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive electric powertrain that outputs 435 PS and 600 Nm. This draws from a 64 kWh NMC battery that offers up to 385 km of range on the WLTP testing cycle.

The aforementioned 64 kWh battery capacity of the MG4 XPower matches that of the MG4 Lux, and is therefore smaller than the 77 kWh battery pack in the MG4 Lux Extended Range, and so the XPower offers the second-shortest battery range of the quartet, above the base variant.

When using the full 120kW DC charging capability, the XPower takes an estimated 36 minutes to go from 10-80% state-of-charge, or when charged at 50 kW, the same 10-80% measure takes 52 minutes.  Home charging at 11 kW AC from 10-100% takes 8.5 hours, according to MG.

The specifications table of the MG4 XPower also lists MG iSmart, with ‘Hello MG’ voice command recognition, through which the driver can access set schedule charging, range visualisation and available charging points, route planner, the car finder function, lock and unlock the vehicle, control the air-conditioning as well as view vehicle status.
