The MG4 EV was named UK Car of the Year 2023, with a panel of experts selecting the all-electric hatchback as the best new car on sale in the UK today.
An expert panel of 27 automotive journalists praised the MG4’s design, quality, and outstanding value for money - recognizing that the new fully electric hatchback puts zero emissions motoring within reach for more people than ever.
The MG4 has been crowned as the overall winner from a final list of seven popular new cars, ranking ahead of models from Dacia, Land Rover, Lotus, Kia, and Toyota.
The ‘UK Car of the Year’ title is the fifteenth major award achieved by the MG4 EV in the last six months, including four overall Car of the Year titles and the recent ‘Best Family Car’ title received during the UKCOTY semi-final last month. The model has also received recognition from Euro NCAP, achieving the maximum five-star safety rating following a rigorous testing process.
Guy Pigounakis, Commercial Director of MG Motor UK, was presented with the award at MG Piccadilly, the company’s flagship showroom in the heart of London.
“We couldn’t be prouder of what the MG4 has achieved in such a short time,” says Guy. “Winning UK Car of the Year demonstrates the immense capabilities of our new all-electric hatchback and there’s much more to come in 2023. I would like to personally thank each expert who took part in the judging process.”
“The MG4 proves that electric cars can be affordable, practical and appeal to all areas of the automotive market,” says UKCOTY head judge and founder John Challen. “Fully charged, it offers more than enough miles for most journeys, while the design and driving dynamics tick two other important boxes for consumers. A deserved winner for the electric future.”
The independent awards ceremony is designed specifically for the UK car-buying public, judged by a panel of experts that includes some of the most respected names in motoring journalism.
Tom Ford, who writes for BBC Top Gear and expert EV title Electrifying, said: “In a world where practical electric cars are all SUVs and priced to the sky, the MG4 offers genuine value-for-money - bringing EV ownership closer to reality for more people.”
Priced from just £26,995, the MG4 is positioned as an extremely competitive model, significantly undercutting rivals without compromising on design, technology, or electric range.
