MG 4X Blind Pre-Orders Begin in China With Up to 610 km Range

SAIC officially opened blind pre-orders for the MG 4X on May 11, introducing the electric SUV with a starting guidance price of 99,800 yuan (14,700 USD) in China. The model had already started arriving at dealerships ahead of the official booking announcement. Positioned as a modern electric SUV with intelligent driving technologies and connected features, the MG 4X aims to strengthen the brand’s growing presence in the competitive new energy vehicle market. The launch also highlights SAIC’s continued push to expand its EV portfolio following strong recent sales performance in both domestic and overseas markets.

The exterior styling of the MG 4X follows the latest design language adopted by the MG brand. The front fascia features a closed grille layout combined with a star-ring full-width light strip and compact rounded headlamps. A sporty lower air intake section further enhances the aggressive front-end appearance. The SUV measures 4500 mm in length, 1849 mm in width, and either 1621 mm or 1627 mm in height depending on the configuration, while the wheelbase stands at 2735 mm. These proportions are intended to offer balanced cabin space and stable road presence within the compact electric SUV segment.

The side profile of the vehicle incorporates multi-spoke alloy wheels along with conventional mechanical door handles instead of flush electronic units. At the rear, the MG 4X receives through-type taillights and a ducktail-style spoiler integrated above the lighting assembly. An additional roof-mounted spoiler contributes to a layered rear-end appearance. The overall styling strategy focuses on combining aerodynamic elements with a sporty visual identity while maintaining practicality for urban and highway driving conditions.

For intelligent driving support, the MG 4X uses a system jointly developed with Horizon. The package includes high-speed NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) capability and automated parking assistance functions. Inside the cabin, the SUV adopts a wraparound cockpit design paired with a dual-tone interior theme. The dashboard layout centres around a fully digital instrument cluster and a large floating infotainment touchscreen. MG has also collaborated with OPPO to optimise smartphone-to-vehicle connectivity, enabling smoother interaction between mobile devices and the vehicle’s operating interface.

MG 4X Electric Powertrain Specifications

The MG 4X will be offered with two electric powertrain configurations. The standard version uses a 125 kW motor producing 168 hp and is paired with a 53.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack. This configuration delivers a claimed CLTC driving range of 510 km. The higher-spec variant is equipped with a 150 kW motor generating 201 hp and uses a 64.2 kWh manganese-based semi-solid lithium-ion battery. According to the company, this setup enables a CLTC-certified range of 610 km, targeting customers seeking extended long-distance driving capability.

To attract early buyers, MG introduced a blind-order package offering benefits valued at up to 12,599 yuan (1,900 USD). Customers placing advance orders will also receive an OPPO Watch X3 gift package valued at 2,599 yuan (400 USD). The company expects the MG 4X to officially enter the market before the end of May. The launch comes during a period of strong momentum for SAIC’s new energy business, with the automaker reporting sales of 142,487 new energy vehicles in April, ranking second behind BYD in the market.

The MG brand has also continued to expand its international footprint. Earlier this year, the company announced that it had become the first Chinese automotive brand to surpass cumulative sales of one million vehicles across Europe. The introduction of the MG 4X is expected to further support the brand’s electrification strategy while strengthening its competitive position in both domestic and overseas EV segments.
