(March 13, 2023) LONDON — The MG4 EV has been named as UK Car of the Year 2023, with a panel of experts selecting the all-electric hatchback as the best new car on sale in the UK. An expert panel of 27 automotive journalists praised the MG4’s design, quality and outstanding value for money — recognizing that the new fully electric hatchback puts zero emissions motoring within reach for more people than ever.

The MG4 has been crowned as the overall winner from a final list of seven popular new cars, ranking ahead of models from Dacia, Land Rover, Lotus, Kia and Toyota.

The "UK Car of the Year" title is the 15th major award achieved by the MG4 EV in the last six months, including four overall Car of the Year titles and the recent ‘Best Family Car’ title received during the UKCOTY semi-final last month. The model has also received recognition from Euro NCAP, achieving the maximum five-star safety rating following a rigorous testing process.

Guy Pigounakis, commercial director of MG Motor UK, was presented with the award at MG Piccadilly, the company’s flagship showroom in the heart of London. “We couldn’t be prouder of what the MG4 has achieved in such a short time,” said Pigounakis. “Winning UK Car of the Year demonstrates the immense capabilities of our new all-electric hatchback and there’s much more to come in 2023. I would like to personally thank each expert who took part in the judging process.”

UKCOTY head judge and founder John Challen said, “The MG4 proves that electric cars can be affordable, practical and appeal to all areas of the automotive market. Fully charged, it offers more than enough miles for the vast majority of journeys, while the design and driving dynamics tick two other important boxes for consumers. A deserved winner for the electric future.”
