As the world steadily shifts toward electric mobility, Pakistan is slowly but surely catching up and the arrival of the MG4 EV in 2025 marks a major milestone in this journey. Launched by MG Motors Pakistan, the MG4 EV is being touted as one of the most practical and affordable electric vehicles (EVs) for the urban Pakistani driver.
Offered in two variants Excite and Essence the MG4 EV combines modern design, respectable range, and a strong features list, all at a price point that’s surprisingly competitive. Starting at around PKR 10 million, the MG4 EV enters a market where EV choices are still limited and often priced out of reach for the average consumer. But MG is aiming to change that.
Globally, the MG4 has already gained attention for its sleek styling, rear-wheel drive layout, and Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating. Now, with its entry into Pakistan, buyers are curious: Is the MG4 just another overpriced EV, or is it a game-changer for urban commuting?
In this in-depth MG4 EV review, we’ll cover everything Pakistani car buyers need to know from its specs and battery range to charging options, driving feel, and whether it makes sense in our fuel-price sensitive environment. We’ll also compare its Excite vs Essence variants, look at charging infrastructure in major cities, and break down the real-world cost of ownership.
If you're thinking about switching to an EV in 2025 or just want to know what all the hype is about, this blog will help you make an informed decision.
The MG4 EV doesn’t just bring electric performance it brings style and sharp design to the streets of Pakistan. While many EVs tend to look overly futuristic or bland, the MG4 strikes a balance with its athletic, hatchback-inspired form and eye-catching details.
At first glance, the MG4 EV looks like something out of Europe and that’s no coincidence. It’s been designed for the global market with a sleek, sporty look that feels modern without being too experimental. With angular LED headlights, a bold front fascia, a sculpted bonnet, and a rear light bar that spans the entire width of the car, it stands out in the local market especially when parked next to more traditional sedans and hatchbacks.
It’s compact enough to zip through urban traffic, yet wide and low enough to have a confident road presence. The dual-tone paint options and aerodynamic design details, like the spoiler and sharp side creases, give it a premium vibe something rarely seen in sub-10 million PKR vehicles in Pakistan.
Step inside the MG4 and you’ll immediately notice the clean, minimalistic dashboard, a digital instrument cluster, and a 10.25-inch floating infotainment screen. The gear selector is a rotary dial on the center console, giving it a futuristic touch. Soft-touch materials, fabric/vegan leather seats, and ambient lighting (in the Essence trim) help give the interior a refined look.
Despite its compact appearance, the MG4 offers decent headroom and legroom, especially for front passengers. The rear seating is comfortable for two adults three might feel snug on long trips. The boot offers around 350 liters of space, which is enough for grocery runs or weekend luggage.
The overall build quality feels solid, with tight panel fittings and a robust cabin feel. For a car priced under PKR 10 million, it ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to design and first impressions.
While design is important, EVs are ultimately judged by how they drive, how far they go, and how easily they charge especially in a country like Pakistan where infrastructure is still developing. Fortunately, the MG4 EV does a solid job on all three fronts.
The MG4 Excite variant comes with a 125 kW (168 hp) motor, while the Essence offers 150 kW (201 hp) both rear-wheel drive. This layout gives the car a balanced weight distribution, resulting in a surprisingly smooth and planted drive, especially during quick turns or lane changes.
Acceleration is brisk for a hatchback-sized EV. The Excite goes 0–100 km/h in around 7.7 seconds, while the Essence trims that to just under 7 seconds quite impressive in this price bracket.
On Pakistani roads, it handles bumps and potholes with decent suspension tuning. At highway speeds, the MG4 remains stable, and thanks to low center of gravity from its floor-mounted battery, body roll is minimal.
Driving it in stop-and-go city traffic is also a breeze, with instant torque delivery and regenerative braking that helps recharge the battery during braking.
When it comes to buying an EV in Pakistan, price and features are often deal-breakers. The MG4 EV aims to strike the perfect balance offering modern tech, performance, and comfort, all while staying within a relatively accessible price range for upper-middle-class buyers.

The Essence variant clearly packs more premium features and a longer range, but the Excite offers better value for city-focused buyers who don't need the extras.
Both models come with:
Adaptive cruise control
Automatic emergency braking
360-degree camera (Essence only)
10.25” touchscreen infotainment
Digital instrument cluster

The MG4 EV is easily one of the most well-rounded EVs under PKR 12 million in Pakistan. It offers modern styling, a comfortable interior, solid real-world range, and essential safety features all backed by a company that’s actively investing in local EV infrastructure.
For daily urban commuters, the Excite variant is more than enough. For those who take longer trips or want more tech and safety, the Essence offers great value for the extra money.
Yes, charging infrastructure is still developing, and resale is an unknown but if you're ready to make the switch to electric, the MG4 is arguably the best EV option currently available for under 1.2 crore in Pakistan.
The MG4 Excite variant offers a 51 kWh battery with a claimed range of around 350 km, while the Essence packs a 64 kWh battery and claims up to 450 km on a single charge (WLTP).
In real-world Pakistani conditions AC on, city traffic, occasional highway use expect:
Excite Range: 270–310 km
Essence Range: 370–410 km
Charging options include:
AC home charging (7.4 kW): Full charge in 7–9 hours (ideal for overnight)
DC fast charging (up to 135 kW): 10–80% in about 35 minutes (only at select MG or third-party stations)
While fast-charging stations are still limited in Pakistan, MG has begun installing chargers in major cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad, and third-party EV networks like Tesla Industries are expanding as well.
The MG4 EV isn't just another electric car launch it represents a real shift in how Pakistanis view daily commuting and personal mobility. With affordable pricing (relatively speaking), a stylish European-inspired design, and a practical driving range, the MG4 is one of the most compelling EVs to hit the local market in years.
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a city commuter tired of rising petrol prices, or simply someone looking to drive a futuristic yet practical vehicle, the MG4 delivers a little something for everyone. From its instant torque and smooth acceleration to its high-tech safety features and comfortable cabin, it checks a lot of boxes.
Sure, challenges like limited fast-charging infrastructure and long-term resale still exist. But with increasing support from MG Pakistan and third-party EV networks, the future is looking brighter for EV owners.
So, is the MG4 EV worth buying in 2025? If you're ready to embrace the electric revolution and want a car that feels premium without crossing into luxury territory, the answer is a confident yes.
