Gasgoo Munich- On May 27, SAIC Motor's MG officially launched the MG 4X, a new compact electric SUV. The lineup includes four variants priced between 99,800 and 116,800 yuan, with limited-time subsidies bringing the starting price down to as low as 92,800 yuan.As the first SUV in the MG4 family, the MG 4X offers two range options: 510 km and 610 km. It marks the first time features like semi-solid-state batteries and a rear-drive five-link independent suspension have entered the 90,000 yuan segment.How much tech can you pack into a 100,000 yuan electric SUV?Start with the dimensions and styling. The MG 4X adopts the family design language, with a front end centered on aerodynamic aesthetics. The hood is raised as far as engineering allows to create an upright SUV posture, while retaining the MG4's signature sharp headlights and illuminated logo.The side profile features a broad rear shoulder design, giving the vehicle a low, wide stance. At the rear, full-width LED arrow-shaped taillights are used.Inside, the cabin features soft-touch materials covering 86% of surfaces. It comes with class-exclusive seats featuring a 20mm zero-gravity foam layer and a 10mm headrest foam layer. The rear seat cushion extends to 571mm and also uses a 20mm foam layer.Front seats offer power adjustment, ventilation, heating, massage, and driver memory. The passenger seat is a "queen" seat featuring the segment's only four-way electric leg rest. With a single click to activate rest mode, the seats, sunroof, air conditioning, music, and ambient lighting synchronize.On the tech front, the MG 4X houses a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen. The infotainment system supports OPPO's smart car integration and is compatible with CarPlay, HiCar, and Carlink. It enables full mirroring of mobile apps, seamless data transfer, and a "shake-to-share" feature that sends navigation addresses from the phone to the car.The system also supports voice control of mobile apps. For instance, a command like "order the takeout I had last time" allows the system to handle the entire re-ordering process.Additionally, the vehicle features an external voice announcement function. The Doubao AI large model is integrated, paired with four-zone voice recognition, allowing users to handle information queries and vehicle controls through natural conversation.The Zhi Xiang (Smart Enjoy) trim is equipped with a Horizon Robotics Journey 6E chip and three millimeter-wave radars. It supports highway NOA navigation assist and full-scenario smart parking with adjustable speed. The car also features AI-powered blind spot assistance for poor visibility in rain or at night, along with a smart driving indicator light.In terms of performance, the entire MG 4X lineup uses a rear-drive layout matched with a rear five-link independent suspension—making it the only model in the 100,000 yuan class with this setup. The steering system employs DP-EPS dual-pinion electric power steering. The 610 km version features a motor with a maximum output of 150 kW and peak torque of 350 N·m.On the software side, comfortable braking stops come standard. The car introduces an anti-motion sickness mode—a first in the segment—optimizing for motion sickness through both hardware and software. The chassis utilizes the rear five-link structure.Battery life and range are central selling points for the MG 4X. The entry-level version features a semi-solid-state battery with a CLTC range of 510 km. The CATL version packs a 64.2 kWh battery, offering a 610 km CLTC range and supporting 30% to 80% charging in just 16 minutes.Regarding safety, the MG 4X body uses a cage-like structure with 80% high-strength steel. Six airbags are standard, and the vehicle features dual power-cut protection upon collision. Doors are equipped with both mechanical and electronic unlocking safeguards.From MG4 to MG 4X, MG Has Found a Replicable Formula for SuccessThe MG 4X is not MG's first play in the new energy sector. The MG4 has already demonstrated the effectiveness of its product logic through market performance.Data indicates that among new electric models launched in 2025, the MG4 is one of the few to consistently surpass 10,000 monthly sales. It held above 10,000 units for nine consecutive months, ranking in the top three of the pure electric hatchback segment. This achievement has solidified MG's footing in its transition to new energy vehicles.The MG 4X's launch strategy is essentially a full replication of the MG4's success: democratizing segment-above features by moving them into entry-level trims and lowering the cost of high-value configurations. According to official comparisons, the MG 4X lowers the entry price for a semi-solid-state battery model by 10,000 yuan and reduces the threshold for a rear five-link suspension model by 25,000 yuan.The success of the MG4 has also generated positive feedback for MG at the dealership level. Official information indicates MG currently operates over 440 dealerships nationwide, with a goal of reaching 500 by the end of the year. The performance of these hit models has boosted dealer confidence; long-term partners are continuing to invest in expanding their networks, while top-tier dealers are actively joining the system.In overseas markets, the MG brand has surpassed 1 million cumulative deliveries in Europe and the UK, becoming the first Chinese automaker to reach that milestone in the region.This background provides supply chain support for the MG 4X. Backed by SAIC Motor, MG relies on internal suppliers like Qingtao, Yanfeng, Huayu, and Lianchuang, while also partnering with external firms such as CATL, Horizon Robotics, and Momenta. The MG 4X's batteries, chips, and autonomous driving solutions all come from these suppliers.MG plans to launch four new models this year, covering hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs, with parallel lines for both pure electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The MG 4X is the first of these new arrivals.From product definition and configuration strategy to pricing logic, the MG 4X follows directly in the MG4's footsteps. With the market validation and brand awareness established by the MG4, the cost of educating consumers for the MG 4X is significantly lower. Once the market has accepted the fact that "MG can build a competitive electric car at the 100,000 yuan level," the path for a second model becomes relatively smooth.
