MG4 Urban Comes to Brazil in 2026 to Be a Rival to the BYD Dolphin; Model Arrives Larger, with 437 km of Range and More Competitive Price.
Brazil will receive, at the turn of the first to the second half of 2026, the new generation of the electric hatch MG4 Urban, a model that the Chinese manufacturer MG will bring to the country to compete directly with the BYD Dolphin.
The debut will initially occur with imports from China and promises significant changes in the segment; this is because the launch will be the car with the greatest sales potential for the brand, arriving at a time of strong expansion of electric vehicles in the country.
The information was confirmed after a visit from the Autoesporte team to an MG dealership in China. The model, already sold there, arrives here with a focus on competitive pricing, increased range, and renewed design.

Jaecoo 7 with super hybrid SHS system exceeds 1,200 km of combined range with a 1.5 turbo engine, high-density battery, and intelligent energy management.
Additionally, it comes as part of the brand’s plan, which also confirmed at the Auto Show that will begin local production at the end of 2025.
Thus, the strategy positions the MG4 Urban in Brazil in 2026 as a rival to the BYD Dolphin, making it MG’s main bet to gain space in the national market.
Arrival in Brazil and Expectation of Lower Price
The arrival of the MG4 Urban in Brazil is part of a strategy for coexistence between the two generations of the model. The MG4 that is already in the country in the Comfort and XPower versions will continue to be sold but with a different positioning.
Thus, the new MG4 Urban is expected to cost significantly less than the R$ 170 thousand currently practiced in the pre-sale of the MG4 Comfort.
This move is essential for the MG4 Urban to come to Brazil in 2026 to rival the BYD Dolphin, one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the country today.
MG aims to compete directly in the entry-level electric segment, offering more interior space, improved finishes, and a new visual identity.
Larger Dimensions and Weight Reduction in the New Generation
The new generation of the MG4 arrives larger and lighter. The hatch has:
4.39 m in length;
1.84 m in width;
1.55 m in height;
2.75 m in wheelbase;
471 liters of trunk capacity (Chinese measurement standard).
In comparison, the MG4 XPower sold in Brazil today has a length of 4.28 m and a wheelbase of 2.70 m.
The new version is also lighter, dropping from 1,620 kg to approximately 1,485 kg, which contributes to efficiency and range.
This evolution reinforces the strategic positioning: the MG4 Urban comes to Brazil in 2026 to rival the BYD Dolphin, a direct competitor in size and proposal.
Updated Design: Cleaner Lines and Renewed Identity
The appearance of the MG4 Urban follows MG’s new language, with smoother lines and a less sporty look.
The front features a pointed shape, full LED headlights, and a bumper with a lower air intake.
On the sides, the brand opted for traditional door handles, contrasting with the trend of flush door handles and 17-inch wheels.
The rear features interconnected taillights by a light strip that runs across the entire trunk lid.
Thus, the result is a more minimalist car aligned with the urban profile, reinforcing the idea that the MG4 Urban comes to Brazil in 2026 to rival the BYD Dolphin with a more modern aesthetic appeal.
Engine, Range, and Performance of the MG4 Urban
The MG4 Urban uses a front electric motor of 163 hp and 25.5 kgfm of torque.
The LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery has a capacity of 42.8 kWh, delivering:
A range of 437 km in the Chinese CLTC cycle;
A maximum speed of 160 km/h.
In Brazil, as expected, the range should be adjusted according to Inmetro’s standards, which are usually more rigorous.
Still, this figure already places the vehicle in competitive conditions to compete with models like the Dolphin and Dolphin Mini.
Minimalist Interior and Robust Technology Package
Inside, the MG4 Urban bets on minimalism. The hatch features few physical buttons and a gear lever positioned on the steering column.
Thus, the finishing uses soft-touch materials, following the trend of recent Chinese models.
Among the equipment, highlights include:
Digital instrument panel;
10.25” multimedia center;
Panoramic sunroof;
50W wireless phone charger.
14 safety systems, including:
Six airbags;
Autonomous emergency braking;
Collision warning;
Lane-keeping assistance.
Thus, this set reinforces why the MG4 Urban comes to Brazil in 2026 to rival the BYD Dolphin with strength in terms of technology.
