The MG4 Hatchback: The Perfect Second Family Car for 2025
Are you in the market for a reliable second family car that can handle school pick-ups, grocery runs, and everything in between? Look no further than the electric MG4 hatchback—the perfect solution for busy families seeking an affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly ride. At Tynan MG Sutherland, we’re excited to introduce this game-changing electric vehicle (EV) that’s not only practical but also cost-effective.
With its impressive driving range, affordable pricing, and advanced features, the MG4 could be the ideal car for your family. Here are 10 reasons why the MG4 is worth considering as your next second family car.
1. Impressive Driving Range for Busy Families
The MG4 comes with a driving range of up to 530km on a single charge, ensuring that it can tackle a busy week of school runs, trips to the shops, and those unexpected errands. The MG4 Long Range 77 can cover nearly two weeks of driving for the average Australian without needing a recharge. Whether you're using a home wall socket or a public fast charger, the MG4 is designed to fit into your busy lifestyle.
2. Save Big on Fuel Costs
Electricity is significantly cheaper than petrol, making the MG4 a smart choice for families on a budget. For example, recharging your MG4 costs only a fraction of what it would take to fuel a petrol hatchback. With an off-peak electricity plan, your yearly ‘fuel’ cost could be as low as $178—a massive saving compared to the $1250 average annual petrol cost for a similar-sized car. Pair it with a home solar setup, and your running costs could be even lower!
3. Spacious and Comfortable for the Whole Family
Despite being a small hatchback, the MG4 offers plenty of room for your entire family. It provides ample shoulder and elbow room in the front, a spacious rear seat with generous knee and head room, and even a floating centre console design that enhances the sense of space. Whether you're taking the kids to school or heading out for a weekend adventure, everyone will have enough room to feel comfortable.
4. Perfect for Families with Young Kids
The MG4 makes it easy to fit two ISOFIX baby seats in the back thanks to dual sets of ISOFIX mounting points and three top tether anchorages. And if you’re expecting even more little ones in the future, the cabin is spacious enough to fit three child seats. Plus, its near-silent electric motor means you won’t have to worry about waking up any sleeping babies on those long drives.
5. Top-Notch Safety Features
The MG4 comes with a five-star ANCAP safety rating, so you can drive with confidence knowing that you and your family are in safe hands. Equipped with MG’s Pilot system, the car features lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and autonomous emergency braking—all designed to prevent accidents and make driving easier.
6. A Surprisingly Spacious Boot
For a small car, the MG4’s boot is surprisingly spacious, starting at 363 litres—enough room for a pram and groceries or even a medium-sized dog. If you need more space, the 60/40 split-fold rear seats expand the luggage capacity up to 1177 litres, perfect for a trip to the local hardware store or even an IKEA run.
7. Tech-Savvy with the iSMART App
MG’s iSMART app takes the convenience of driving to the next level. With this app, you can pre-cool or pre-heat your car remotely, manage charging schedules, and even unlock your car with just your phone. The MG4 also allows you to monitor and control your vehicle in real-time, making it a truly connected experience.
8. Easy and Fun to Drive
The MG4 is not only practical but also fun to drive. With light steering, a tight turning circle, and regenerative braking, it’s easy to navigate city streets and tight parking spots. The MG4 Excite 51’s rear-drive electric motor delivers 125kW and 250Nm of torque, allowing you to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 7.7 seconds. For those seeking even more power, the MG4 XPOWER delivers 320kW and 600Nm, going from 0 to 100km/h in a thrilling 3.8 seconds.
9. Backed by MG’s Industry-Leading Warranty
Making the switch to an electric vehicle has never been easier, thanks to MG’s 10-year warranty, which covers both the car and its battery. The MG4 also comes with 10 years of complimentary roadside assistance when serviced at an authorized MG dealership. With far fewer moving parts than a petrol car, the MG4 requires servicing only every two years or 40,000km, making it a low-maintenance option for busy families.
10. Guilt-Free Driving with No Exhaust Fumes
Say goodbye to toxic petrol or diesel fumes! With the MG4, you can drive without the environmental guilt of a traditional combustion engine. Whether you're waiting for the kids at school pick-up or idling in traffic, you can enjoy the comfort of air-conditioning or heating without burning through fuel or emitting harmful exhaust fumes.
