Key takeaways:

  • MG is offering $2000 cash back on the 2026 MG4 Urban, bringing its entry-level asking price under $30,000
  • People who place an MG4 Urban order at the Everything Electric Sydney show get a $500 charging card
  • The MG IM5 and IM6 are eligible for up to $5000 cash back if you place a $1000 deposit at Everything Electric Sydney

MG is temporarily giving $2000 cash back on its MG4 Urban electric hatchback so it now starts under $30,000.

Until September 30, the MG4 Urban line-up is priced as follows:

  • MG4 Urban Essence 43: $29,990
  • MG4 Urban Essence 54: $32,990

All prices are drive-away

This promotional drive-away pricing for the MG4 Urban Essence 43 makes it more affordable than the GAC Aion UT Premium and puts it on par with the entry-level BYD Dolphin Essential.

However, it’s worth noting the Geely EX2 and BYD Atto 1 are both available for cheaper, but they offer less range.

Beyond this, if you put down a $1000 deposit at the show for an MG IM5 sedan or IM6 SUV, you’ll get access to a $5000 cashback. This adds the existing $3000 cash back offer with an additional $2000 Everything Electric cash back offer.

2026 MG4 Urban

What is the MG4 Urban?

The MG4 Urban is the Chinese carmaker’s newest entry-level electric vehicle (EV) and it sits below the standard MG4.

It launched locally earlier in 2026 as a more city- and budget-focused offering to compete against the likes of the BYD Dolphin, GAC Aion UT and Geely EX2, among others.

All versions of the MG4 Urban are front-wheel drive, unlike the rear-wheel drive MG4, and there are two different battery packs available, a 43kW and a 54kWh unit. They offer up to 316km and 405km of WLTP-claimed electric range, respectively.

Until the end of August a total of 2604 MG4 Urban examples were sold. Over this same time a total of 3838 BYD Atto 1 examples, 3068 BYD Dolphin examples, 1753 Geely EX2 examples and 572 GAC Aion UT examples were sold.
