Smoother, more modern design
MG has adopted a softer, more rounded design for the new MG 4, moving away from the sharper edges of the previous model. Some key exterior updates include:
- New headlamps & front fascia: The front retains its sharp nose but gets new headlamps and a redesigned bumper with narrower side vents.
- Smoother shoulder line: The side profile now features a more flowing, upward-rising shoulder line towards the rear.
- Connected tail lamps: At the back, MG has introduced a connected tail-lamp design, giving the car a more modern look.
- Lip spoiler on tailgate: A subtle lip spoiler is now integrated into the tailgate, enhancing aerodynamics.
- Pull-style door handles & upward-kinked windowline: The signature pull-style door handles remain, while the windowline now has a sharp upward kink towards the rear quarter glass.
Overall, the new MG 4 maintains its hatchback proportions but introduces aerodynamic improvements that could enhance efficiency and range.
