The MG4 Electric has achieved the highest rating during the latest round of Euro NCAP safety testing, with a five-star score awarded to the entire current MG4 model range.
Europe’s benchmark car safety rating was underpinned by MG Pilot, the suite of active driver systems available as standard on the MG4 Electric.
As part of the rigorous testing process – which tests for child and adult occupant safety, vulnerable road user protection and vehicle safety assist functions – Euro NCAP awarded five stars to all current MG4 specifications, including Standard, Comfort and Luxury model trims.
All MG4s are equipped with MG Pilot, a package of safety equipment designed to offer an additional layer of protection. Driver aids including Active Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist and Driver Attention Alert are included as standard across the range. Intelligent High Beam Assist and Speed Limit Assist are also included in what MG says is a simple, intuitive package of safety features that protects occupants and other road users.
The Euro NCAP score also marks the first test result involving MG’s Modular Scalable Platform (MSP) – new, adaptable vehicle architecture designed to underpin the next generation of MG cars throughout Europe.
Since 1997, the European New Car Assessment Programme has been the benchmark for the safety of new vehicles on sale in Europe – helping consumers to make informed decisions when choosing their next vehicle. Euro NCAP performs comprehensive, objective and independent safety evaluations, now taking into account standard assist systems and passive safety.
An MG New Zealand spokesperson confirmed the all-new MG4 would be available for sale locally ‘sometime in the second half of 2023,’ but declined to provide any further details. You can read the recent review for the MG ZS Essence EV here.
