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.

How on earth to start this? I've been car/bike/truck crazy since I was a teen. Like John, I had the obligatory Countach poster on the wall. I guess I'm more officially into classic and muscle cars than anything else - I currently have a '65 Sunbeam Tiger that left the factory the same day as I left the hospital as a newborn with my mother. How could I not buy that car? In 2016 my wife and I drove across the USA in a brand-new Dodge Challenger, and then shipped it home. You can read more on www.usa2nz.co.nz. We did this again in 2019 in a 1990 Chev Corvette - you can read about that trip on DriveLife. I'm a driving instructor and an Observer for the Institute of Advanced Motorists - trying to do my bit to make our roads safer.
