MG4 EV takes a bold step with semi-solid-state battery, wider trim and faster charging, aimed at buyers who want range and value without the premium badge tax – here’s why it matters. The semi-solid-state “Anxin” edition goes into production in China at aggressive pricing, with CLTC range up to 530 km depending on pack, and deliveries this year.

What’s new at launch

SAIC’s MG brand launched the new MG4 lineup, including the Anxin Edition claimed to be the world’s first mass-produced EV with a semi-solid-state battery, built on the E3 platform. China guide prices span RMB 68,800 to 102,800, with the semi‑solid‑state Anxin edition sitting at the summit of the range.

• Trims: Comfort, Ease, Freedom, Smart, Anxin (semi-solid-state).
• Headline tech: semi-solid-state chemistry from Suzhou QingTao; approved in China.
• Deliveries: top variant by end of year.

Battery, range and charging

Two packs – 42.8 kWh and 53.9 kWh – are quoted at 437 km and 530 km CLTC respectively. (Note: CLTC is a Chinese test cycle that tends to be more optimistic than the European WLTP or U.S. EPA standards, so real-world range may vary.) The new semi-solid-state Anxin Edition, a new top-line variant, offers a CLTC range of 537 km. The car can charge from 30% to 80% in 20 minutes, so road-trip downtime is just a coffee stop.

• Semi-solid-state highlight: higher energy density and safety; Anxin Edition is the tech showcase.
• Screen options by trim: 10.25″, 12.8″, or 15.6″ – bigger screen makes route planning and charging stops easier.

Interior tech and ADAS

MG4’s interior has a modern digital suite, with floating displays and connected features like higher-end rivals. In higher trims, ADAS gets 360° cameras, ultrasonic sensors and features like lane keeping, autonomous lane changes and automated parking to make city driving less stressful.

• ADAS: AEB, adaptive cruise, LKA, rear cross-traffic alert, full camera coverage where equipped.
• Display mix: up to 15.6″ screen on techy variants for better map readability and feature access.

Price, market context and timing

In China, the lineup starts at 68,800 yuan (limited time offers lower), with the semi-solid-state Anxin Edition at 99,800–102,800 yuan; the hook is cutting-edge battery tech at mass-market prices. For global markets, MG has shown MG4 widely; India timing is late 2025/early 2026 with pricing around ₹30 lakh (but specs to be confirmed closer to launch).

• Competition set: value-focused EV buyers cross-shopping compact electric hatchbacks like ID.3 and Mégane E-Tech.
• India watch: shown at Auto Expo; timelines and packs to be confirmed later.

Conclusion

The MG4 EV’s semi-solid-state is the thing: mainstream pricing with bleeding-edge chemistry is hard to resist, and if charging and range hold up in real life, this could change the game for affordable EVs.
