MG4 EV XPower 2026 Review – 0–62 in 3.8 Seconds for THIS Money?!

The 2026 MG4 EV XPower might just be the most outrageous performance bargain in the UK right now. See original MG4EV review here    • 2023 MG4 EV Review - £26,000-£31,500 Famil...   435bhp. All-wheel drive. 0–62mph in just 3.8 seconds. And priced from £33,995. In this full review, I drive the updated MG4 EV XPower in proper British weather to find out whether this electric hot hatch still makes sense in 2026 – and whether it’s genuinely the fastest car you can buy for the money. The MG4 EV XPower sits at the top of the MG4 range, using dual electric motors to deliver 435bhp and enormous torque through an all-wheel drive system. It’s based on MG’s Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), but for 2026 it receives interior improvements, updated infotainment, enhanced driver assistance features and subtle styling tweaks. In this video I cover: • 0–62mph launch impressions • Real-world performance in wet UK conditions • Handling and chassis balance • Ride quality and refinement • Updated cabin and tech • Practicality as a daily driver • Whether this still feels like a hot hatch • How it compares to the standard MG4 EV and MG4 EV Urban With supercar-rivalling acceleration, usable rear seats and hatchback practicality, the MG4 EV XPower challenges the idea that electric performance cars have to cost Tesla Model 3 Performance or Porsche Taycan money. So is this the best performance EV under £35,000? Or is it just quick in a straight line? Let me know in the comments – would you take this over a petrol hot hatch like a Golf R, Civic Type R or A45?
