With Chinese Technology, MG Motor’s Model Expands China’s Presence in the Electric Car Market in Brazil
MG Motor, the Sino-British brand owned by the SAIC group, one of the largest in China, confirmed the launch of the new generation of the MG4 EV in Brazil. The 100% electric hatchback is set to compete directly with the BYD Dolphin, another model manufactured by a Chinese giant, already popular in the country. According to the magazine Autoesporte, the MG4 will be one of the brand’s main bets to consolidate China’s presence in the compact electric segment.
With a renewed design and larger dimensions, measuring 4.39 meters in length and 2.75 m in wheelbase — the MG4 EV is on par with models like the Golf GTI, but with the advantage of being fully powered by clean energy.
Technology and Range with a Chinese Seal
The new MG4 EV is equipped with a 163 hp motor and a lithium iron phosphate battery, offering a range of up to 350 km. According to the portal O Antagonista, the more powerful version, called XPower, can reach an impressive 435 hp and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, reinforcing China’s ability to deliver performance alongside technological innovation.

MG4 EV and China’s Offensive in Latin America
The direct competition with the BYD Dolphin reinforces China’s presence in the Brazilian automotive market. According to The Wall Street Journal, Chinese automakers have been accelerating their investments in Latin America as part of a strategic expansion beyond Asia.
Autoesporte notes that the MG4 has already been tested in Brazil, and its official arrival marks another step for China towards global leadership in the electric vehicle sector. The expectation is that the model will be available for purchase as early as 2025, with competitive pricing.
