MG Motor Europe has announced its new all-electric MG4 hatchback has achieved the maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

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.

The MG4 is set to be released in New Zealand in the second half of 2023 and an MG Motor spokesperson said they’re excited to bring this model into the country.

“Our customers can take great pride and comfort knowing that the MG4 features the latest technology, world-class design, and quality materials resulting in a top-tier safety rating," the spokesperson said.

All MG4s are equipped with MG Pilot, a comprehensive 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 as part of an 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.
