In the rolling 12 months period (from Mar-2025 to Feb-2026), Eurokars sold 224 units of the previous generation of MG4 EVs, so there's obviously some demand there. Recall there was some promotion going on to increase sales, but the reduced price was the main driver.

A pity that Eurokars is going to drop the refreshed 2026 MG4 EV here in Singapore. If one is still interested in the MG4 EV, would need to go over the causeway to get it from now on.

Yes i saw online that the RWD was much better drive. So I think can get the previous version if RWD is impt. last check got 8 resale available

Ya the new one went from hot hatch to a Vezel fighter.

Vezel got more demand than hot hatch... So the new MG4 Urban should do well if priced competitively..

At launch, it is $168,888.

The price is not attractive compared to Aion UT.

 not worth it. 

depre not worth it. At one point model3 is just 1k depre more.

I do think the mg4 urban is a more attractive ride than the aion ut

Similar size.. but design, finishing and feature wise I think mg4 urban better..

Eurokars intro pricing (Apr-2026) on the MG4 Urban at $168.8k is quite disappointing. Don't think the MG4 Urban is going to sell much. For the past 12 months up to Feb-2026, the older 2022 MG4 EV has sold 224 units. So this is the number the new MG4 Urban has to beat.

Would be interested in the OMV of the MG4 Urban as it's meant to be 10% to 15% cheaper than the older 2022 MG4 EV. At least that's what other RHD markets in UK and Oz are saying as shown in price differences between the new MG4 Urban and older MG4. Will see what money jiāngshī (吸血鬼) 🧛‍♂️ margins that Eurokars is making on the MG4 Urban.

Perhaps one of Eurokars strategy in not having both the MG4 Urban and MG4 in Singapore is that future customers cannot easily compare between the two - in terms of features and price. With nothing to compare against, Eurokars is hoping that Singaporeans will have goldfish memory and they can price the MG4 Urban as high as possible so that their gross money jiāngshī (吸血鬼) 🧛‍♂️ margin remain as high as possible. How gross is that?🤮

Will post a follow up and price breakdown once the OMV of the MG4 Urban is known.

Hi All,

I am thinking to get an EV and so far MG seems more suitable to my needs.

For the MG S5 EV, on the MG website it says 5yrs/150k km vehicle warranty + 10yrs/200k km battery warranty. I couldn't find more information on the T&C. E.g. does MG have conditions like battery must be always between 20%-80% charged else battery warranty void (heard BYD has such clause) ? also, in case of repairs (not warranty claims), where else can handle MG EVs apart from Eurekars?

one factor I look at EV is that I expect to do frequent short trips, and for ICE this is usually a bad thing (fc, kills battery). with MG S5 or EV in general , what will be the likely problems with frequent short trip?

also when an EV is parked (= ICE engine off), can the MG operate the aircon while accidentally depressing the pedal (accelerator) won't move the car?

Best is to go down and see for yourself. But i guess if you do frequent short trips it will be ideal to switch to EV. And better still if you make a lot of trips and lots of waiting time in car eg wait for kids then it will be perfect

I presume your short trips are mostly start-stop traffic.  That's good for recharging the battery.

EV still need to move "gear" stalk to D before the car moves.

The battery curve from SAIC/MG for the S5 EV will tell you how many cycles the high voltage battery pack can be charged/discharged before reaching the 70% State of Charge (SoC) where the warranty kicks in. In MG S5 EV's case it's 10 years or 200,000km by MG/Eurokars. Best to ask Eurokars for the battery curve. 

The S5 EV's battery pack chemistry is LFP, which can be fully charged up to 100% all the time and can be discharged down to 0%. 

All of BYD's vehicles use LFP chemistry and the cells come in their proprietary blade format. See picture below.

Battery curve of BYD's blade battery (cell model number CBV4A) is shown below.

It's good for 3,000 complete cycles before reaching just under 85% SoC. A cycle is counted as a full charge to 100% and complete discharge down to 0%. So if one charges the battery pack in 25% increments each time for a top up charge from 50% to 75%, it would be counted as a quarter cycle - not a complete cycle. So four top up charges of 25% each would count as a single complete cycle.  

Don't know of any repair shops for MG apart from Eurokars. Might want to check with your insurance agent on this. 

Generally a complete charge/discharge cycle is closely related to the WLTP combined range of the vehicle - depending on how heavy the right foot is. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary. For MG S5 EV this is about 425km.

@inlinesix Hi InlineSix, I mean trips around neighbourhood < 5km like tabao, pick up family, then longer drives on weekends. certainly lots of start-stop driving, and the distance is so short I think my ICE has not reached the operating temperature!

sorry, I asked a stupid question - totally forgot about D and R "gears"! Thanks for reminding.

Hi @steveting99, thanks for the info. 425km x 3000 = 1,275,000 km , I am not driving PHV so even 200k km in 10 years is already not likely to achieve so from battery lifespan perspective it looks very safe for my usage.

was watching some YouTube videos on MG 5/4 and was reminded the battery is bolted on the body (I suppose is still at the bottom, not on the side panels), and now I wonder if repair / replacement of battery is going to be tough. but I suppose I should think positively iso to think to buy a car to repair 😛 

ya will go MG to test drive and check out the warranty details in the coming weeks.

your kind of driving is best for EV definitely.

Just ask whether got any caveats to the battery warranty etc.
