This marks MG's first global model reveal for 2025, setting the stage for a refreshed presence in the international electric vehicle (EV) market. [Tesla Cybertruck Faces Major Recall in the USTesla issues another Cybertruck recall in the US due to safety concerns, casting doubt on an Australian release. Here’s what you need to know.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-1411.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/Tesla-Cybertruck.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tesla-cybertruck-faces-major-recall-in-the-us/) ## Sleeker Styling, Bigger Dimensions The new [MG 4](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/mg-4/) adopts smoother curves and refined lines, departing significantly from the sharply creased aesthetic of the current model. Influenced by design cues from MG's Cyberster electric roadster, the front bumper is more dynamic, while new arrow-shaped taillights offer a distinctive rear-end profile. According to recent Chinese Ministry filings, the 2026 MG 4 is noticeably larger: - Length: 4395mm (+108mm) - Width: 1842mm (+6mm) - Height: 1551mm (+47mm) - Wheelbase: 2750mm (+45mm) This size boost should translate into enhanced cabin space and improved passenger comfort. ## Technical Details and Powertrain Official powertrain details remain limited, but early filings suggest the standard model will feature a single electric motor generating 120kW, paired with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack. This new powertrain setup contrasts with the current base MG 4's slightly more powerful 125kW motor but heavier kerb weight (1635kg vs. the new model's 1485kg). Currently available MG 4 models offer a variety of battery and powertrain configurations, including: - Single-motor rear-wheel drive variants: 125kW/250Nm, 150kW/250Nm, 180kW/350Nm - Dual-motor all-wheel drive XPower variant: 320kW/600Nm - Battery options: 51kWh, 64kWh, and 77kWh capacities It remains to be seen if these options will continue with the new generation. ## Impressive Market Performance in Australia While the MG 4 experienced mixed success in China, its Australian market reception has been overwhelmingly positive. In 2024 alone, MG sold 6934 units locally, marking a remarkable 121.3% increase from the previous year and securing the position as Australia's third-best-selling EV behind Tesla's Model Y and Model 3. The updated design and enhanced features of the 2026 MG 4 are expected to further solidify its popularity in Australia, particularly against rivals like the BYD Dolphin. MG has yet to unveil interior details and further technical specifications, but expectations are high following a promise of a significant cabin update previously hinted at by the automaker. As anticipation builds, the 2026 MG 4 is poised to continue MG's growing reputation as a competitive player in the global electric vehicle market. --- [MG 4 Overtakes Tesla in Australian EV Sales for October 2024The MG 4 becomes the first electric vehicle to outsell Tesla in Australia, delivering 1,486 units in October 2024 compared to Tesla Model Y’s 1,042\.
