Australia has a new champion in the affordable electric car segment. The MG 4 hatchback is now the country’s cheapest new electric vehicle, with the base-model MG 4 Excite 51 slashed to an incredible $30,990 drive-away until 31 October 2024. This limited-time offer represents savings of up to $10,425, depending on the state of registration.
Massive Discounts Across the MG 4 Range
The MG 4 Excite 51 takes the title of the most affordable electric car from its sibling, the MG ZS EV Excite SUV, which had previously been discounted to $34,990 drive-away. With the new pricing, the MG 4 Excite 51 is now $4000 to $5500 cheaper than a Toyota Corolla Hybrid hatch, making it an exceptionally competitive option for budget-conscious Australians looking to make the switch to electric driving.But the discounts don’t stop there. Other models in the MG 4 lineup are also being offered with significant price reductions. Model Year 2023 (MY23) variants are eligible for factory bonuses of up to $8000, while the newer 2024 models receive $5000 off. The range includes options like the MG 4 Excite 64, Essence 64, Long Range 77, and the high-performance XPower, with drive-away prices now starting as low as $34,252 for the Excite 64 MY23.
Unbeatable Value
To put the pricing into perspective, the $30,990 drive-away cost of the MG 4 Excite 51 brings it in line with mid-range petrol hatchbacks like the Kia Cerato, making it an attractive option for those seeking a cleaner, greener alternative without the hefty price tag. Even the top-of-the-line MG 4 XPower, packed with performance features, has seen a significant drop. In Western Australia, where vehicle registration costs are among the highest, the XPower now starts at $53,282 drive-away for MY23 stock – a huge drop from its previous price of nearly $60,000.This is the fifth price adjustment MG has made to the MG 4 range in 2024, underscoring the brand's commitment to making electric vehicles more accessible to Australians.

Longest Warranty on the Market
In addition to slashing prices, MG is offering an industry-leading 10-year/250,000km vehicle warranty on all new cars, giving buyers extra peace of mind as they transition to electric mobility.A Perfect Time to Go Electric
Giles Belcher, MG Motor Australia’s Chief Commercial Officer, commented on the offer, saying: “We know that people may have been considering an EV but potentially have held off due to the cost. Now, with this limited-time offer, we’re giving everyone the opportunity to own an MG 4.”
With such significant savings and a strong lineup of options, now is the perfect time for Australians to make the switch to electric vehicles, and the MG 4 is leading the charge. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly EV or a performance-oriented electric hatch, the MG 4 range has something for everyone.
