The global electric vehicle (EV) market is witnessing a seismic shift, and the ripples are set to reach the foothills of Nepal.

MG4 Electric Nepal

MG, a brand that has rapidly gained traction in the Nepali automotive scene, has officially unveiled a groundbreaking new version of its highly popular electric hatchback, the MG4.

Launched at the prestigious Chengdu Auto Show 2025 in China, this latest iteration promises to redefine expectations for performance, range, and affordability in the EV segment, particularly with the introduction of a semi-solid state battery option. This strategic launch by MG’s parent company, SAIC, is poised to make a significant impact.

With a starting price for the new MG4 set at an astonishing $9,560 (approximately NPR 1,270,000, excluding taxes and duties for Nepal), it immediately becomes one of the most accessible and feature-rich electric vehicles on the international market.

For Nepali consumers eager to embrace sustainable transportation without compromising on technology, this pricing strategy is nothing short of revolutionary.

Advanced Technology and Unmatched Efficiency

The new MG4 is available in five distinct trims, offering a range of choices to suit different needs and budgets. The most anticipated variant, equipped with a cutting-edge semi-solid state battery, is priced at $14,290.

This marks a pivotal moment for EV technology, as semi-solid state batteries promise higher energy density, faster charging, and improved safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.

This advancement could significantly alleviate range anxiety and make long-distance travel in an EV a more viable option for Nepali drivers.

Built on SAIC’s advanced E3 architecture, the MG4 is designed from the ground up to be an efficient and dynamic electric vehicle. It comes with two battery pack options: 42.8 kWh and 53.9 kWh.

On a single charge, the new MG4 boasts an impressive CLTC range of up to 530 km, which is highly competitive and offers substantial utility for both city commuting in Kathmandu and longer journeys across Nepal’s diverse terrain.

Furthermore, its rapid charging capability allows the battery to go from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes, minimizing downtime and maximizing convenience for users.

Sleek Design Meets Smart Interiors

Aesthetically, the new MG4 maintains its modern and sporty appeal while introducing refined design elements. It features sleek projector headlights, a distinctive segmented honeycomb grille, and sharp front-corner side air ducts, contributing to its aerodynamic profile and contemporary look.

The illuminated MG logo adds a touch of sophistication, making the car recognizable day or night. With dimensions measuring 4,395 mm in length, 1,842 mm in width, and 1,551 mm in height, coupled with a generous 2,750 mm wheelbase, the MG4 promises a spacious and comfortable cabin for its occupants.

Inside, the cabin is a testament to modern automotive design, dominated by a large digital instrument cluster and a central infotainment screen.

While digital interfaces take center stage, MG has thoughtfully retained some physical buttons for essential functions, striking a balance between futuristic design and user-friendly practicality.

Depending on the chosen trim, buyers can opt for impressive display sizes, including 10.25-inch, 12.8-inch, or even a sprawling 15.6-inch screen, providing an immersive digital experience.

Powering this advanced infotainment system is the high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, ensuring seamless operation and rapid responsiveness.

The EV also supports advanced connectivity systems such as MG X and Oppo Smart, integrating the vehicle effortlessly into the digital ecosystem of its users.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety and convenience are paramount in the new MG4. The top-spec trim is loaded with an array of cutting-edge driver-assistance features, designed to enhance safety and ease of driving.

This includes 12 ultrasonic radars, four 360-degree surround-view cameras, and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. These sensors and cameras work in concert to provide comprehensive situational awareness, enabling features such as advanced cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking.

These technologies are crucial for navigating Nepal’s often challenging road conditions, offering an added layer of security for both the driver and passengers.

The arrival of the new MG4, especially with its semi-solid state battery option and remarkably competitive pricing, is set to be a game-changer for Nepal’s burgeoning EV market.

It represents MG’s commitment to innovation and accessibility, promising a future where advanced electric mobility is within reach for a wider segment of the population.

As Nepal continues its push towards greener transportation, the MG4 is poised to lead the charge, offering an attractive blend of performance, technology, and sustainability.
